Three Mages and a Margarita

The Guild Codex: Spellbound Series, Book 1

By: Annette Marie

Narrated by: Cris Dukehart

Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.

It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview - to see if I'd mesh with their "special" clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. That's the definition of fitting in, right?

I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they...offered me the job?

It turns out this place isn't a bar. It's a guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I'm exactly the kind of takes-no-sh-t bartender this guild needs, or there's a good reason no one else wants to work here.

So what's a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course - with a pay raise.

Make sure to check out the companion series, The Guild Codex: Demonized, available now, and The Guild Codex: Warped, coauthored by Rob Jacobsen.

Well worth the listen.

Good enjoyable characters, nice plot with well thought out twists. I really enjoyed this book.

Looking forward to more

Great story. I really enjoyed this and hope this is the first of many for this storyline.

Great Start to a Great Series

Where to start? For one, I don't write reviews (as you will be able to tell). However, as I'm beginning this series (again, for the 3rd time) I felt I really needed to put something on here. This is a series that anyone can enjoy, but I must warn you ... there are (currently) 3 Series to the Guild Codex. I've only really put myself into two of the series (Spellbound and Demonized), but picking up the 3rd part (Warped) this week. If it is anything like the other two then it will really weave in and out of the other stories. The book on it's own is a good standalone, however, when you add in the other books/series it really makes a unique story. This is something I'd love to see something like Netflix make a series on ... IF they could actually follow the books.

Enjoyable from beginning to end

I loved that this book had me captured and chuckling in the first 3 minutes. I love the main character, loved the storyline, and loved the performance. This book was easy listening through and through.

Amazingly fun

The story was fun to listen to. The narrator is extremely easy to listen to as well.
