Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Katie MacAlister Novels

Katie MacAlister's pre-writing résumé zigzagged from sales work at Harrods to cleaning bird cages to coding in FORTRAN — the kind of odd-job variety that leaves a writer with material to spare. She has published under pen names as well as her own, is best known for her Dark Ones books, and makes no secret of her fondness for alpha-male heroes.

This guide follows her Aisling Grey, Guardian series: You Slay Me (2004), Fire Me Up (2005), Light My Fire (2006), Holy Smokes (2007), and — after a nine-year gap — The Perils of Effrijim (2016). MacAlister shares her home with her husband and two dogs, whose companionship may explain the eccentric, charming characters that keep turning up in her pages.
