I'm one scrappy wizard.

As someone with barely a flicker of magic, I've spent my life being mocked and surviving fights with bullies. But when my parents die in an accident, and I find myself responsible for our whole wizard house and family, I know my usual tactics aren't going to cut it.

The situation veers from bad to catastrophic when my backstabbing cousin stages a coup and takes my family hostage.

I barely manage to flee, but the only supernatural willing to help me is Killian Drake - the most feared vampire in the region, and a far more deadly villain than the jerk threatening my family.

Is Killian sexy and charismatic? Heck yeah.

He's also so powerful that my flight or fight instincts kick in every time our eyes meet. And he's definitely using me as his personal magic detector in his feud against the local fae.

But Killian is also the first person to believe I might have more than just a scrap of magic. And if I can convince him to train me, I might get strong enough to free my family and get my house back.

I'm not sure what happens when a scrappy wizard is taught how to fight by a hall of deadly vampires, but I'm about to find out.

Magic Forged is the first book in the completed Hall of Blood and Mercy trilogy. It takes place in the Magiford Supernatural City universe and features vampires, wizards, fae, and werewolves! This trilogy is packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a vertically challenged wizard and the most lethal vampire in town.

Writing is well done. character development and world building are strong. The plot was only a little lacking in the murder mystery/clues department. Overall, I fell in love with the male protagonist and watching his gradule change as the female protagonist had an impact on him. There is a romance element, but it's very subdued and I wish we could have seen a little more realization and reaction from the characters in that department. Narration was good. Overall, an excellent, clean read. I will be reading other books from this author.

Really Enjoyed

Such a fun story! Clean, well written- just all around fun! The characters are enjoyable, the lack of r-rated things are enjoyable— highly recommend

I’ve had issues getting into any book for ages and have found myself not finishing books or series for almost two years, maybe longer. Finally, I found a book that was amazing! It wasn’t too sappy, obvious, predictable and the characters are awesome. There’s no obnoxious love triangle or whining. Great story. Interesting new world. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and yes, I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning listening to it even though I know I’ll pay for the lack of sleep. I don’t even regret it! Totally worth it! I haven’t done this in ages either! This book has brought out my inner child again! I can’t wait to start the next one.

Do it!! Listen to this book! You won’t regret!

My Reading Speed: 1.5x

Have I Read The Book Before Listening to the Audio? Yes

Overall Audio Impression:

Just a heads up for new readers of this series, there is only one chapter from Killian’s point of view in this particular book. So you only hear Alister Austin narrating the one chapter.

I loved this so much! I love rereading K. M. Shea’s Magiford books (or really any of her books) so it was a treat to get to listen to it in audio! I loved so much in this book (as evidenced below) that if I stay here too long I’d likely spoil it. 😂 But suffice to say that if you like romantic comedies and fantasy (or want to dip your toes into fantasy) this is a wonderful way to do it since it’s magic & magical beings in our world!

Favorite Scenes:

Hazel getting on Killian’s radar after becoming a servant

Killian & the Paragon

Meeting Josh

Unconventional weapon

Killian’s sarcasm

The ending!

Reader’s Notes:

-this is the first of a trilogy & needs to be read in order

– there is some fantasy violence & death (vague characters are being murdered – the deaths/bodies are not graphic, only quickly touched upon when Hazel comes upon them)

-there is one use of a curse word in the way to say someone is kick-butt (the word being kick-[curse word])
