Publisher's Summary

Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig. 

It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview - to see if I'd mesh with their "special" clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. That's the definition of fitting in, right? 

I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they...offered me the job? 

It turns out this place isn't a bar. It's a guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I'm exactly the kind of takes-no-sh-t bartender this guild needs, or there's a good reason no one else wants to work here. 

So what's a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course - with a pay raise. 

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

Way too much leery vom in mouth

It's not a bad premise, and the story isn't bad, but the constant "he's so hot my panties are on fire, drool drool" stuff is awful. It's like it's written for the female version of the raincoat brigade, by it's leading member. It's the kind of stuff men writing in the 50s didn't even get away with. Which is a shame because the rest of the book is pretty OK. I'll try the next one in the hopes she mellows out a bit, but this one's going back under the protest of feminists throughout the ages that half the characters are nothing more than pieces of eye candy meat.

Straight Dude Reviews

Safe to say I enjoyed this book immensely.
Yes it is from a very capable independent women's POV, but I can handle that.
This first person account of the adventures of Tori the 'Fire-Cracker Redhead' and her immersion into the hidden world of Magic Society is a great slant on traditional story telling of a well trodden genre.
The story is fast paced and original. It's very easy to listen to and is read at a beautiful syncopation.
Sticking points for some were the overly descriptive interactions and fantasy with the male characters, who are of course, quite pleasing to Tori's eye. If it's too much use the 30 sec advance icon. Don't let the throbbing Bratwurst stop you from enjoying an easy to listen to fiction with a great story.
P.S. you may even get some insight on how the female mind ticks... well at least how Tori's mind ticks.

Enjoy

My first audiobook review

This was the first time if have listened to an audiobook right through and without purchasing the book itself. I found it was good for when walking the dog and driving. I had to rewind a few times when I missed something though. If something else attracted my attention, I found that I was easily distracted from the audiobook and would have to reply the past I missed. The story and character were good. Romance doesn’t seem to be the main part of this series. This is the first time I have read/listened for this author. I was first introduced to this author at the book convention and was attracted to the cover art which the author does herself, but also liked the descriptions of her books. The narrator was good, however only really had three main voices - from the heroines perspective Tori, men (the three main men in this series sounded similar and was hard to tell them about, and a sort of posh lady voice, however I did still enjoy her narration of the story.

Excellent entertainment

I found the narrator kept the flow, easy to listen to, easy to discern characters, and non disruptive. Would listen to Cris again!

The book is very typical of this author, and in a good way. Lots of tension, characters well flushed out, action scenes. Great for an audiobook as the action keeps going. I find I get bored easily during audiobooks, but I rarely need to fast forward this author. I plan to listen to all of her books!

DNF

I couldn’t finish this one, the storyline wasn’t for me. The narration was great and certainly worth a try for those less picky than me.

Great start to a fun series

This is a great series. Good world building, character development and storyline that leaves the reader wanting more. The narrator does a good job with a range of voices too. Highly recommended.
