Fantastic!

Tristan James just took me to another level with this performance.

The voice of Malachi just enhanced my enjoyment of this book. Of course the story was top notch and the mystery totally unpredictable.

The sexy parts were just a great cherry on top.

Nick’s book is next and given the way he abhorred witches, it should be interesting to see how he finally ended up with one.

Fantastic work J.L. Fantastic!!

This was very hard to listen to at work. The sex scenes are some of Jordan's best. Like damn bro I gotta listen to this on the job!

Just as good as the first

I sincerely hope this series goes on forever.
Malachi and Owen were a great pairing. I'm ready to read Nick's story. Can that be next please?

WOW! SIR YES SIR!

First I have to say Ms. Hawk is a true master. And after reading this book it appears she is in more ways than one. An artfully told story with the most amazing erotic overtones. D/s in fiction is always exciting but this time it is from the viewpoint of the submissive. Is that the way they really think? Wildly erotic. I was expecting to hear about the further adventures of our last couple but once again the author masterfully switched character within a particular group. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!!!

There is no ending beg

Jordan L. Hawk put so much into this wonderfulness that there was no way to tie up all the loose ends. Still Hexmaker and it's companion book in this two book series are are among the best books ever written in the genre. Magnificent.

3rd and still epic chapter to this excellent series.

The characters elaborate and eas to emphasize with. Mystery difficult to solve till the end. And the romance is so hot and beautiful. I enjoy it every time I read it.

forgiving fox meets geeky sheltered witch

The narration is wonderful and very involving.
Sexy scenes were mouth watering.
I loved the story and plotline overall and Mal was a heart wrenching character. Owen, on the other hand, had this martyr complex that I didnt really understand or could relate to...


Seems like Mal kept getting the shorter end of the stick to the very end, with a very fickle witch who kept doubting him.

I didnt really understand Mals almost too forgiving nature towards Owen after getting betrayed time and again by those he thought he could trust.

After going through all of that Mal was quick to act defensively and way too forgiving in face of Owen's anger against him, while he himself never got his turn to make Owen face his injustice behaviour towards him.

Owen's "sorry" kept coming after things were said and done and Mal kept forgiving him.

Their 'happy for now' ending didnt feel so genuine. Mal and Owen seem to have too many unresolved issues left up in the air between the both of them that are not addressed toward the end of the book, instead the story focuses on the arc plotline and hints at the freedom these characters reached for together.

I suppose the nature of the series is a 'touch and go' for all the couples and so we got to enjoy the beginning of that relationship, naive as it may be.

Another Fantastic Hexworld Novel!

This was simply a delight to read and listen to. I absolutely loved Mal, our thief familiar with a heart of gold. Owen, the hex maker working for the MWP, was interesting in his own, stodgy way. Most interesting was how he loved to submit in the bedroom.

I did find his strict adherence to familial and societal duty overwhelming. It was the one aspect of the novel that detracted from my connection to him as a character. I wanted him to completely give in to Mal, not just in the bedroom. Of course, if he had, wed have seen much less of a conflict and dramatic climax to the story.

This was another mystery that proved hard to unravel completely until the very end. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

Another fantastic Hexworld book

I love Jordan L. Hawk's books and Tristan James does a fantastic job narrating them.

I did find in this one, his voices for Owen & Nathan when they were talking to one another kind of flowed together wherein a couple times to figure out who was talking I had to think context - but considering they are brothers, that isn't as much of a problem. But each of the other voices was vibrant and recognizable. From the bear Bertie to our fox Mal, to his witch Owen. I loved the voice for Peter's nurse. James does a fantastic job with Irish women's voices. They sound like women... instead of a man reading a woman's voice.

If there is one thing missing from Hexmaker, for me, it is the pure depth that was in the first book, Hexbreaker. It was the first novel in the series and it left me feeling as though I was living in that world. Hexmaker was fantastic, but didn't leave me as much in depth.

That said, it is still a fantastic read and a must have book. Well, all of Hawk's books are.

However, if you haven't read the first book, you'll still be caught up in the alternative 1890s New York where Hexes are a part of life and familiars (shape shifters) and their witches must figure out who the bad guys are that are after them before they end up dead.

Say hello to the MWP - Metropolitan Witch Police.

I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Perfect continuation to this series

OMG just as good as the first book. Owen you kinky devil you. Mal you could have told him the true right off the bat and the miscommunication would have been avoided. I'm glad Edith got her true love and it was not a case of she loved him but he didn't her cause he's gay. They both liked each other as friends. Other than Owen's "brother", his family were a bunch of stuck up snobs. I can't wait for the next book in the series. There are so many secondary characters that I want to see get their bond mates.
