A Drop of Magic

Magicsmith, Book 1

De: L. R. Braden

Narrado por: Heather Costa

The war isn't over...

With the world clinging to a fragile peace forced on the Fae by humanity after the Faerie Wars, metalsmith Alex Blackwood is plunged into the world of the half-fae who traffic in illegal magical artifacts. Her best friend's murder and his cryptic last message place her in the crosshairs of a scheme to reignite the decade-old war between humans and fae.

Worse, violent attacks against her and the arrival of a fae knight on a mission force Alex to face a devastating revelation of who and what she is. To catch a killer, retrieve a dangerous artifact, and stop a war, Alex will have to accept that she's an unregistered fae "halfer" with a unique magical talent - a talent that would change everything she believes about her past, her art, and her future.

Her world is crumbling around her, and Alex will have to decide who to trust if she and the world are going to survive.

Intriguing Urban Fantasy

This is the beginning of a promising series. The story starts with the female main protagonist being attacked by a couple of males. Then later she is attacked by other people, or beings. Let’s just say she isn’t having the best week or two. She finds out things are not what they seem. People she thought of as human aren’t or not just human. Monsters are not necessarily bad, and being human doesn’t mean you are good or right.

The author welcomes us into her world with each new character and situation. Making for a colorful world made up with a plethora of different beings who capture your interest and heart.

I recommend this book to fans of Urban Fantasy and the paranormal.

I love a good Magical World!

I enjoyed this book. I have also read book two in the series and am partway through the third one, so I would have to say the author is doing something right.

The world of these books starts with magic and the Fae as something everyone knows about, but that doesn't mean there aren't other discoveries for the protagonist, Alex Blackwood, to discover along the way.

Do you like magic? Fairies? Mysterious happenings? If so, I would say, you will find this series an interesting and fun one.

I'm not sure

So, the beginning starts off really good. But then it becomes cumbersome as more of the established world is explained. The characters are interesting so I hope the story will come together better in the next book.

A pleasant surprise!

I have never had the pleasure to read nor listen to any of LE Braden’s Novels therefore I was elated once I purchased this Audible to find a new author that I truly enjoy!
I highly recommend this audible; the storyline is unique and never lags therefore once I started listening I couldn’t stop until the end!
I’m definitely looking forward to LE Braden’s next masterpiece!

Great urban fantasy!

I loved the characters and world building. Alex is an engaging protagonist. I can’t wait to listen to more!
