Wicked Magik

By: Vera Foxx

Narrated by: Lyra Blake, Elias Thorne, Xavier Blade

Vesper

I should be terrified of him... of both of them, honestly. Oryx, with his horns and claws and the tongue that seems to know my thoughts better than I do. And Veylor, the brooding lich who can level a room with a flick of his fingers and still looks at me like I'm the dangerous one.

Somewhere between the blood, the nightmares, and the constant threat of being eaten alive, I found something I didn't know I was missing—affection. Real, bone-deep, suffocating affection. Oryx clings to me like I'm the only light he's ever known, and maybe I am. And Veylor… well, he fights his feelings with all the grace of a wounded cat. Which perhaps that's better... except I can't help but feel the pull to him like I do with Oryx.

Oryx

She is mine.

My pet, my warmth, the first creature who ever looked at me without fear—or if she did, she hid it well. When her scent brushes against my skin, something inside me wakes, sharp and desperate. I was created to obey, to serve, to be nothing more than a weapon at my Lord's side… yet one touch from her and I want more than purpose. I want belonging.

When she bleeds, I shake. When she smiles, I purr. When she looks away, my chest aches in a way my creator never warned me about. I do not understand all these feelings, but I know this: I will protect her from every threat, even from my creator for whom I care deeply

Veylor

She was supposed to be a complication—an inconvenience I could keep at arm's length. Yet every time Vesper looks at me with those stubborn, furious eyes, something inside my chest aches… the part of me that isn't even supposed to exist anymore.

I've rebuilt bodies, stitched souls to vessels, commanded shadows and death itself...but I cannot seem to control the way she makes my magik falter. Oryx gravitates to her instinctively, his need laid bare, and by the shadows help me… I envy him. I envy the way she softens for him. I envy the way he touches her.

I tell myself I'm keeping my distance to protect her.

But the truth is far uglier—

If I get close, I won't let her go.

Great Depth and Detail, Paired with Phenomenal Narration Cast.

I will preface this with the fact that I am only a few chapters in at the time of this review, but this one had me hooked from the first few moments, excited to see what's in store later on! Everything, from storyline to narrators casted, has been as perfect as it could be, in my opinion!

Fantastic

I’m usually not a fan of mm content. I however enjoyed this story very much, and hope more comes from these lovely monsters

Incredible Podium Debuts!

These narrators are absolutely amazing! For their podium debuts, I am so impressed!! The story was also amazing! It is light hearted and feel good with a perfect mix of monster romance and a bit of shadowy darkness. Definitely will listen/read again!
