Publisher's summary

Evie Black and her demon imp partner, Cass, are two of the most fearsome supernatural bounty hunters on the West Coast. But when Evie’s beloved grandmother dies, her world shatters. After finding the bottom of a bottle of tequila, Evie breaks the one rule she knows better than to ignore: Never hook up with a werewolf. Especially when he’s the local alpha who, oh by the way, happens to be her gran’s sworn enemy. Yeah, complicated doesn’t even begin to cover what happens next. 

This is a full-length adult urban fantasy novel. Please be advised there is adult sexual content and language. You know how alpha werewolves get.

Most Interesting World Concept C-

Most Interesting World Concept I read in a while. Brave and Loyal band of friends Evie and her imp partner gather around them. It could be me...but the sex and profanity seemed a little top heavy. it could have been done a more southern tipsy then stripper tawdry. That may of had me routing for the character sooner. #uniqueworldsetting #Shifters #UrbanFantasy

Boring and flat

Nothing special, a boring story without a spark. There is no heat, no drama, no significant character development, it’s all superficial and forgettable. As I read the reviews of other books written by Leia Stone, I find that they are all the same, and I will never read a book written by this author again.

Fun to listen to, but easy to pause.

It was a fun story. Can't say I'd listen to the next installment. Just a bit too predictable.

Ehh....don’t listen to this

So the idea was a decent one. The issue is the story. Half of the time she talks about the wolf she is in love with but denies, another good chunk is sex scenes, the little sliver left is the story. The author does t develop a plot not really write a story but more of a sex fantasy book. Sounds like a teenager who is sexually stimulated but unable to do anything about it wrote the book. If you don’t believe me give it a listen...

The reader did a good job though.

Almost a 5.

A fun listen. A somewhat different and interesting take on magic and supernatural creatures. There's a kitsune in the Wearing the Cape series who is really cool, but a love interest to the heroine. Here the heroine finds out she is herself a kitsune. Not quite a 5 because I have mixed feelings about the femporn bits, but I am definitely getting the sequel. The cliffhanger caused me a cry of anguish.

Disappointing

Decent storyline and character development with that being said eve is the only one getting a climax out of this book. No climax no real conclusion, the book simply ended.

Brilliant Beginning of Series

I absolutely love this story and binge listened whenever I could. It has everything a supernatural fan could want- action, adventure, love, sex, suspense, friendship, magic & best of all mythical creatures. This story is like none that I have read. It is full of surprises. The narrator's perfect pacing and character voices really brought the story to life. I look forward to more in this series.

Great twist on a Paranormal Romance.

This book was a lot of fun. I was excited to see that the main character was part Asian like me. Cass is hilarious. The fact that he is a hot pink imp in booty shorts... loved it. Brock was a sexy, dominate, alpha male and genuinely seemed like a good guy. There were a few twists I did not see coming at all so I was happy that it caught me off gaurd. I am also curious to see how Brock and Evie handle this situation in the next book. Oh and that ending... cliffhanger. But a good one.

I actually had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook and loved it. The narrator had the perfect witty and sarcastic tone for Evie and I just laughed anytime she read Cass's lines. (Listened at my favoirte 1.25x speed)

Recommend to anyone who is a Paranormal Romance reader that loves wolves but looking for some fun and original twists!

terrible language

the story plot was not very good, and with every other word starting with 'F' it was not fun to listen to. In fact the language was so bad that I will not be listening to the rest of the series. It's too bad the authors couldn't use a more grown up version of the English language, what are they still 12 years old?????

Terrible reader!

The story was entertaining and kept me wanting to find out what came next, but the reader almost caused me to trash this. There were no tonal inflexions had a period at the end of every breath. Just terrible!

Nice enough but feels unfinished

obviously the first book so it has a lot of worldbuilding to do. end feels more like a chapter end.
Also it basikly dedicates 2 chapters to sex senes

Way too much swearing

I usually enjoy this type of story but I didn't really get past the first few chapters as for every other paragraph, there was some sort of swearing or bad language which made it really hard to enjoy.

Its an OK book but artificially chopped

This book is the first of a 3 part series and isn't a bad listen but I am not sure the series is really worth 3 credits.
What we really have here is a 16 hour book split into 3 parts and the splits are quite arbitrary.

Its not 3 linked shorter stories which each can stand alone but one book sliced into 3, and 3 credits is quite a lot for this. If at some point all 3 are bundled together for 1 credit that wold be much better value.

Now I have that off my chest to the book.
First the narration by Kate Marcin is excellent she has a good range of voices for the different characters and a clear and enthusiastic reading style..

The Story is fine, although a bit implausible, and holds the interest. I know no story with vampires werewolves demons sirens etc is really plausible but you know what I mean. It has a bit of a YA feel to it except for the 18 rated bedroom action and swearing which makes it totally unsuitable for a younger reader.

The Characters are great you cant help but like the key players Mollie ( the only human) being my favourite and the baddies are suitably evil. A tale of good v bad

The book was going along quite nicely most characters now established and then it stopped - see above.
The second book carries on from exactly where this one ends.

If you are enjoying it keep going with the others - they continue pretty much the same to complete a decent full story

Its my first book by either of the 2 authors and there is enough there to persuade me to try more but might be looking for when available in some sort of 2 for 1 deal if 5-6 hours is a usual length.

Love love love

I didn’t think I would enjoy a book with a funny look pink creature on it, but I could risk missing out on this because everything leia stone touches is gold. This was no difference! I can’t wait to devour the next one

Great set up looking forward you next one.

Loving Brock and Evie and Cass fun characters with plenty of attitude.
Enjoyed the story it starts off faster than expected lol. (Don’t have kids in the room) and I like the progression and discoveries that are made, feel like this book set everything up and I’m looking forward to next book and seeing the story and characters develop from here.
I did feel the narrator spoke a bit fast and found myself having to rewind bits, but that’s partially due to me listening while I’m cooking and things to. xxxx

Easy to Follow

I enjoyed listening to this urban fantasy tale. A respite from my usual genre of choice. I like that this story feels more adult compared to Fantasy that I used to read.
Both main characters have strong personality and the clash was inevitable, but so was them ending up together, despite the challenges.
It's a fun read. Strong dose of profanity and steamy content. But it is fun!
Kate Marcin did great with her narration on this one.

Brilliant

This book is so beautifully crafted taking you to another world. It has a super sassy heroine, wonderfully sexy shifters and Cass is just brilliant! The amazing narration brings another dimension to this book making it thoroughly entertaining but, what a cliff hanger, definitely leaves you wanting more.

Magic Bits

This is a funny look at supernatural discovery, and emerging powers. I giggled through this book, with its twists and turns. Read with great feeling by Kate Marcin.

***Sassy kitsune***

I loved this series so much that I have already read it in ebook now I bought the audio format as well (obsessed much) lol seriously Evie is amazing, she is a pocket size spitfire with an attitude and a katana to boot oh yeah haha and Brock omg I can't tell anymore spoiler but gods forgive me but I feel so hot and bothered reading this two activities between the sheets *sighs* I have already read book 2 and can't wait to be able to read it. And The BFF Cass wow I loved the lil dude and Molly she is insane. My first Kate Marcin narrative and woah she is amazing she portrays Evie so well that I can imagine her like in my mind. So good

Really enjoyable

As always, this is a really enjoyable book series with great, kind, caring and formidable lead females and other characters including a really great lead male that isn't abusive and smothering. Instead is kind, caring, supportive and loving, pretty ideal in any relationship really, male and female, ff, mm or any whichever way you prefer.

Oh, not to mention an awesome action, romance packed story with a kick arse female lead character and a fantastic narrator to bring the story to life. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Btw, It's always impossible to please everyone but personally I much prefer One female narrator doing all the voices, especially if she does the male voices well as Kate Marcin has done. For me, even if the male voices are a little feminine, I still much prefer this than the typical deep throated surfer male type voice used in many an audiobook. For me, that contrast breaks me out of the continuity of the story, especially if the section being read is from the female perspective with that female narrator doing the male voice only for the book to switch to the male point of view with a male narrator doing the voices. Regardless of whether they are a male or female narrator, Please stick to the sex of the leading character, I much prefer it this way.

Spoiler alert

So I loved the start of this book!!! So much tension, snark, flirting, and sass all of which I loved.

BUT

(Spoiler)

I just don’t do accidental pregnancy books… it’s just not my trope. The main character goes from someone I’d want to read about at the start … to someone who’s basically taken out by pregnancy and becomes less snarky and sassy and more tame. Just not my thing.

I’m sure others will love this book but personally I couldn’t finish it.

Great start to a series

“Magic Bite” is book one in the Supernatural Bounty Hunter series that is co-authored by Leia Stone and Lucia Ashta.

This is the first book I have read that is by Lucia Ashta, I have read all and loved all of Leia Stones. To be completely honest I could not tell where one author had started and the other ended. The flow in the book is flawless, there is no transition or storyline bumps. Well done ladies!

Magic Bite follows Evie Black a witch dud turned Supernatural Bounty Hunter alongside her BFF and partner a demon imp named Cass. Having to return home after her grandmother dies, Evie’s history and future isn’t as clear as she thought. Past secrets and lies are revealed as well as new threats, and relationships are made.

Being upset and drunk, Evie has a one night stand with a sexy mysterious werewolf. But a one night stand was not in the books for Evie and Brock. It turns out that the werewolf is the alpha that is trying to destroy her grans house.

I really did enjoy reading this story, the humorous banter between Evie and Cass had me laughing with tears. The instant bond and connection between Evie and Brock was great, especially when they are trying to annoy and frustrate each other. (Especially the porch scene)

At times Evie would be this bada** Bounty Hunter but then at times she would be the opposite and be a little too immature and whimpy.

I am looking forward to reading book 2 Magic Sight.
