Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Deanna Chase comes the complete set of the Crescent City Fae saga (Books 1-3). Includes Influential Magic, Irresistible Magic, and Intoxicating Magic.

Influential MagicIt's tough being a faery in New Orleans, a city fraught with vampires... especially when their very existence drains your life-force. Willow Rhoswen, owner of The Fated Cupcake and part-time vampire hunter for the Void, is having a rough week. Four years after her twin brother's mysterious death, Willow's life is threatened, and the director saddles her with a new partner - her ex-boyfriend, David. To her horror, he's turned vamp, which causes her physical pain whenever she touches him... and any other specimen of the undead.

In order to save Willow's life, David agrees to turn double agent against the most powerful vampire organization in New Orleans. Or so he says. And she's convinced they know something about her brother's death. Unsure where David's loyalties lie, she turns to Talisen, her childhood crush, to help her solve the mystery.

Caught between two gorgeous men and a director who'll stop at nothing to control Willow's gifts, she'll have to follow her instincts and learn who to trust. Otherwise, she risks losing more than just her life.

Irresistible Magic Finding the perfect dress can be hell...especially when a stranger tries to gun you down in broad daylight. Void agent and magical baker extraordinaire Willow Rhoswen has been anticipating her first date with Talisen Kavanagh since she was 16. After eight years of waiting, there are only two things that can stand in her way - an assassination attempt and a new game-changing drug.

Talisen's invented a new elixir that creates superhumans, ones that can rival vampire strength, and everyone wants it. Including the vampires. With Willow's life on the line, he makes a deal with the devil, one she's forced to accept

Intoxicating Magic Willow Rhoswen is finally coming to terms with the fact that Talisen - the healer she thought was the love of her life - has left town and is trying to move on when a rogue vampire poisons three of Allcot's guards. With his most trusted security team on the verge of death, the notorious Cryrique leader orders Willow to bring Talisen back to New Orleans before it's too late.

But when she gets to her hometown of Eureka, California, Willow once again finds herself the target of her brother's murderer. And suddenly no one is who they seem. With spies, secrets, and undercover missions to navigate, Willow's determined to not only survive but to do whatever it takes to protect the ones she loves, all while hopefully getting her happily-ever-after.

wow

when I picked up this series is was worried it would not live up to what I wanted. some of the review were harsh on the kindle side. people when dissing willow and how she acted but I have to say I was captured by this series from the beginning. by the second book toward middle of the book a few part started my tears and I was torn of which male I was rooting for . I loved how it worked out and won't ruin it but just to say don't stop early you need to finish and have tissues handy as well. )the author made the book suspenseful just when you thought you had it figured out what was going on a curve ball was throw, but it all came together and created a great book. the person who narrated was awesome and brought the characters to life. Bravo to all

Best vampire and fairy book!!

I recommend Crescent City Fae series to anyone who love vampire/ fae books. It has action adventure romance and a slight thriller mode . I hope you will fall in love with this series like I did

Main Character is not very bright

I got through the 1st book and hoped she would grow for the second and their would be character development, but no. A good portion of the bad situations she gets into is because she doesn't think. She is very weak compared to everyone else in the book. Couldn't bring myself to listen to the 3rd book. She got on my nerves. Most of the time I liked all the other characters better than Willow (main character). And I often wished she would just listen to her friends and stop over reacting. Not a book for me and very dull in the romance department.

Fairies, Witches, Vampires, Oh My

Great read and good ending. Twists and turns throughout the first three books. Glad I bought them together. The Void is a bad place that has no checks and balances, but neither do the vampires pods and to save the day they have to work together to weed out the bad in both.

Almost ok story ruined by amazingly awful heroine.

The story might almost be decent if I hadn't developed an almost holy hatred of the main character. Willow spends about half of all her time complaining and whining about how she isn't helpless and then promptly needing rescued. I found myself rooting for the bad guys to just murder her already.

So bad I couldn't even finish reading

What would have made Crescent City Fae: Complete Boxed Set (Books 1-3) better?

The heroin of the story whines about everything from head to toe and judges everyone from start to finish she was not a heroin at all but just an annoying character. The narrator spoke so slowly that you just want to tell her "come on hurry up let's go" and the storyline was plain and awful. I have never given such an awful review for any book but this one definitely merits it. Don't waste your time or money on this series!😡

Would you be willing to try another one of Gabra Zackman’s performances?

Should she read as slowly and breathe as she did on this book then no I would never care to hear her voice again.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Sooooo disappointed, requesting my money refunded.

Any additional comments?

Do not waste your time on this series. I'm usually in avid fan of audiobooks in the fantasy and horror genre but this was just ridiculous. Horrible whiny heroin needed everyone to save her at every turn around and was so judgemental with every character in the book.

Love this series!

After reading this series leaves you with such a good feeling, its my 2nd time reading them. I always thought once you read a book or watch a movie, why read or watch it again, you already know wverything thats going to happen but some books and movies are so good that you get excited to read or watch again and again and this series it one of those.

Great series!

Book 1:
I really enjoyed this book! It's a great beginning to the Crescent City Fae series. This book had a little bit of everything, a paranormal, action packed, mystery with a side of romance, blended together perfectly. I love Willow. She is a strong, intelligent, kindhearted fairy who isn't afraid to speak her mind and stand up for her beliefs. Looking forward to book 2!
Book 2:
This is the second book of the Crescent City Fae series and is just as gripping as the first. Deanna Chase is a great writer and you feel as if you're right there experiencing each moment with the characters. Willow has very strong beliefs on what is right and wrong and stays true to herself. I'm excited to see what book 3 brings!
Book 3:
Wow! This is the third book in the Crescent City Fae series and is full of action and suprises. Willow repeatedly shows how strong she is by believing in herself and not taking the easy way out. While she did not end up with the man I had been hoping for, she did get a hea with HER perfect match, so I can't complain. A great ending to a great series!

That damn Willow

This book was a drag to listen to. From the very beginning, all you hear is Willow complaining, whining, and being a big baby. The only reason i listen to the book to the very end was because i paid for it and i didn't want to waste my money. The vampires should have just kill Willow maybe that book was have been good.

Truly epic tale keep you wanting to listen

What did you love best about Crescent City Fae: Complete Boxed Set (Books 1-3)?

Influential Magic
Life get turned upside down, and Lives are lost and some are saved, other are changed forever. 

Irresistible Magic:

Life is constant chase of troubles, Danger, Death, Vampires, Fae's. Warring people and companies. Not knowing who trust Willow life is in tail spin, People she loves hurts her and people out to get her out to steal her, Who life is lost? Who life is saved? and Who betrays her's 

Intoxicating Magic: 

When Both side of Fight converge, People you trust turn out be on other team, and few on the other team is on team. Spys, Moles hidden agents, Death of Someone loved one =(. Can Healing Fae and Earth Fae with help witches and few vamps fight off the Faction who want to end Earth Fae's line. There complete off the scale surprise that leave you gasping as battle comes to end everyone heals, and cope with all truths and deaths!!!

Truly epic surprise ending with great battle!

Willow very annoying

I bought a 3 book boxset with audible, couldn't even get through the first book, The main female character Willow, needs a good slap for being so pathetic. Can't stand women like her.

Brilliant

Thoroughly enjoyed this book set.... Wish there was more of them. Fingers crossed there is

Groundhog Day

I purchased the box set with 3 books and I had to force myself to finish them. The plot throughout the book keeps repeating itself: everyone lies to the main character and she keeps getting "pissed at them". They talk it out, promise they will not lie again and.. You guessed it, they do. And that goes on and on.

The main character thinks she's all that, but she can't do anything on her own. She's immature, has no backbone and is extremely dependable on others.

The characters were poorly developed, which is surprising by the length of the books. They just keep going places, looking for people or answers and fighting the bad guys, but no depth to them.

Ok

I liked the first book but later on the heroine got more and more useless, indecisive and annoying. Constantly in terrible pain and next minute ready to sacrifice herself but never actually doing anything useful. Otherwise it would have been a good story and was well read.

Entertaining

Great series. Plenty of action with twists and turns. Likable characters and entertaining storyline. The narrator did a fantastic job!
