Publisher's Summary

It takes a monster to catch one.

Zane Walker - FBI, Magickal Crimes Division

There's a reason the bureau sends me undercover with the worst drug cartels in the world - my magick is as illegal and dirty as the enhancers they peddle. Just the kind that "Pennies" Machnik - Dziki crime lord - likes to use on his enemies. Being his enforcer lets me keep my own monster locked up while I build a case against him. If I can bring Pennies in, maybe I can finally put the stigma of what I am behind me. But when people start overdosing on his street drugs, a beautiful witch storms in, making demands she thinks she can back up with magick. I have to make a split second choice...and the monster comes raging out. 

Ever Strange - CEO, Strange Medical Technologies

Someone has killed my father. They made it look like an overdose, but Asher Strange, the world-renown researcher of medical magick, never took an illegal drug in his life...much less tawdry magick enhancers. I run the family empire, but no one was more proud of the Strange family name than my father. A long line of us stretches back to the first days of High Magick - no way he would throw that away chasing a quick high. But before I can get an autopsy, my father's body disappears...and being a Level One mage and one of the richest women in the city means I will get answers. 

Someone's putting deadly magick into street drugs...and it's killing people all over Chicago.

Zane's magick is monstrous, and Ever's power brings out his beast. But she insists on finding her father; keeping her safe has suddenly become his job - on top of stopping an epidemic of overdoses that just might be cover for a serial killer. Together, they work to stop the dark magick that's stalking the streets of Chicago..and try to keep their own secrets from consuming them both. 

Ever Strange is the first book in a new paranormal romantic suspense series from best-selling romance author Alisa Woods.

The first three books in the series (Ever Strange, Mercy Strange, Verity Strange) follow the three Strange sisters, each powerful witches in an influential magickal family embroiled in a mysterious plot to change everything about the magickal world. Part urban fantasy, Legal Magick takes place in an alternate Chicago where High Magick returned in 1859 and is now integral in every aspect of the legal - and illegal - world. Each book is a stand-alone romance.

Could not finish

Narrators were terrible. Over dramatic for the male and nasally grating female. Glad I didn’t have to pay for the experience.

Great Paranormal Romantic Suspense!

This was my first Alisa Woods's book, and won't be my last. This is the first book in the Legal Magick Series, a great paranormal romantic suspense. Zane and Ever are great character, strong and powerful! Ever is CEO at Strange Medical Technologies, her family empire, and she is a powerful Witch. Zane is an undercover FBI agent at Magickal Crimes Division, and he is an incubus. They share an instant attraction, and a sizzling chemistry. The story has both POV, which is great. I love the sisterhood/family spirit in this story. The storyline is action packed and filled with adventures, and twists and turns. The world building is well done, and complex. The story has a HEA for now for Ever and Zane, but ends with a cliffhanger/introduction to Mercy's story. Lance Greenfield and Brooke Hayden did a great job with the narration. I love their voices together. I enjoyed listening this story.

Ever ready for an adventure...

Ever Strange is one of my new BFFs.. haha.

This is something new in the way of Alisa's stories and at first I wasn't sure what would be happening here.. but I liked it. Ever and Zane being tossed together out of sheer necessity starts us off on a train wreck of ins and outs. These two, I swear they are like danger magnets. Though that seems to work in their favor.

Ever is one of those women that stands on her own two feet and doesn't back down. So when her fathers body disappears from the Morgue, she's on a mission to find out how and why. She will face off with the biggest jerk in town, putting herself into danger without ever knowing it.

Zane, a man of many coats is undercover, working a case that will either make or break the bad guys. Undercover usually isn't that big of a job but for Zane, he has a unique set of skills that are put to use. Skills that Ever happens to walk right into.

Now the two of them pair up to take on the bad guys and stop a killing spree, all while staying alive. This is coming harder and harder when every corner they turn lends them into the lions mouth, so to speak.

I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next book!

Ever strange

This was an enjoyable experience for me. Paranormal characters and evil science made for an adventurous story.

Meh I DNF

over the top villain, I didn't really care about the mc heroine. She kinda dumb and foolish. I quit at 80 percent.

ummm, no thanx

stars only reflect how I feel about the performance.
I can't give an overall rating or rate the story bc i can't get thru the first chapter. the narrator is just annoying to the point where I just can't listen. the synopsis makes it sound like a good book, and maybe I'll read it sometime, but i just can't listen to this guy for one more second. sorry!

Hot paranormal adventure romance

Ever Strange
By: Alisa Woods
Narrated by: Lance Greenfield, Brooke Hayden
A mage witch looking for justice for the murder of her father gets tangled up with the illegal magical drug mob and saved by an undercover cop that happens to be an incubus. They have to work together to try get get the bad guys and find her father's missing body! Hot, action packed, great characters, and loved the magic!😁
Narration was terrific!

Ever Strange

If you like Succubus, Mages, Magic, Drug Kingpins, Mobs, and FBI agents then this is the story for you. I listen to 5 chapters trying to get into it. But I just am not into it. I was really lost from the beginning and stayed lost. I will just stick to my Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, Frankenstiens and the like. And I will stay in past where a Witch was a healer.

If you like Paranormal romance give this a try...

What to say about this one, other than it's a paranormal romance... and Zane is a monster! He's also an FBI agent, and he always always tries to do the right thing. Initially, I wasn't too sure about Zane. I mean, he IS a monster, after all... but he soon won me over, and it's totally plausible that Lance Greenfield's narration helped win the day! The main story ARC is good, and after finishing this, I had my daughter read it, 'cause I knew that she'd love it!
So if you're looking for a paranormal romance check this one out!

Not a bad concept but poorly executed

I had high hopes for this one but it didn’t turn out as well as I thought it might. Like a lot of magic in other stories it devolves into vague energy balls being launched at each other for most fights. The author also didn’t quite know what they were doing and fell back on a lot of the silly attraction-being-mistaken-as-horny-but-really-their-in-love trope. They also included distractions like some cat that’s actually a 17th century witch named Salem for some reason. Overall it was okay, the story slightly offset by some graphic and highly unrealistic porn like sex.

Despite its letdowns I may actually follow up on the next book or two but wish I could get all three in an omnibus for one credit, it would be worth it for the quantity at least then.
