About this listen

When I found myself facing down the scariest black-magic felon in the city, practically daring him to abduct me, I had to wonder exactly how I ended up here.

It all started when I accidentally landed a job as a bartender - but not at a bar. At a guild, populated by mages, sorcerers, alchemists, witches, and psychics. Good thing this lame-o human is adaptable, right?

Then my favorite guild members - three sexy, powerful, and intermittently charming mages - asked for my help. Did they want access to my encyclopedic knowledge of cocktails? Oh no. They wanted to wrap me up in a pretty ribbon and plunk me in the crosshairs of a murderous rogue to lure him out of hiding.

So that's what we did. And that's why I'm here. About to be kidnapped. Oh, and our grand plan for safely capturing said murderous rogue? Yeah, that completely fell apart about two minutes ago. Why did I agree to this again?

Make sure to check out the companion series, The Guild Codex: Demonized, available now, and The Guild Codex: Warped, coauthored by Rob Jacobsen.

An entertaining and fast paced story. It is written with warmth and energy, and a happy ending is always nice.

A fun follow up. Tori is asked to help her favourite 3 mages capture a mage referred to as The Ghost who has been abducting children / teenager mages. Things go wrong & Tori discovers things are not always as they seem. Tori is still being plagued by her past with her family & struggles to trust anyone including her new three best friends. Cris Dukehart does another excellent job of narrating.

A great follow up.

I was hoping that Torie will develop some sort of magical ability butit didn't work out that way aww but it doesn't mean that I didn't liked it, I absolutely love this series, it's smart sassy and funny. And please let the Ghost have a future relationship with Torie I meant I love Aron but I don't feel much chemistry between him and Torie, I actually feels more between Ezra and Torie and even Kai. Anyway I can't wait for book 3
Chris Dukehart is brilliant as always thank you.

I powered through this one and really enjoyed it. This book really improved on the the first. Great fast paced action storyline. Great use of humour and not trying too hard at it.
The Author explores the main characters in more depth but leaves you wanting.
A well defined magic societal structure and breakdown of magic classes.
Less of the romantic interludes than the first book. Not to to say it's absent and Tori doesn't still fixate on the male dishes served up, There is just less. Again this is not the book so, use the 30sec forward button as required.
Overall a great listen written in first person, that requires little concentration on you part.

Enjoy

Still a decent premise, but still just leer city. The pages long descriptions of how looking at his hunky muscles makes the lead characters pants catch fire is bleh. It's not as vom worthy as the first book, so perhaps there is hope yet.

Still soo much vom in mouth
