Omg!! This book ❤️

This was so good. Aaron & Kelsey did amazing as Ellea & Ros! I need more of their voices. This was my 3rd time with this book & the audio had me squealing & blushing something fierce. Thank goodness I was alone. You need to check it out.

My comfort book

“So many things are wrong with me,” he said in a way that showed he was fully okay with that statement. “If you’re lucky, you will get to learn all of them.”

Tricky Magic is dark paranormal and mythological romance, that features supernatural creatures, great magic system, dealings with trauma, captivating main and secondary characters, and steamy ohh so steamy smut! You will unlock a new kink, my friend! 🔥Aaron and Kelsey did an amazing job with voicing Ros and Ellea! 💕

After Ellea escapes from a city where mortals and supernaturals hate her for who she is, she takes up a residence in cabin, that is owned by her family. In the small town of Glenover, Ellea will find friends and foes, learn new revelations, go to a wolven barbecue and read a lot of smutty books. Oh, and she will meet a grumpy, mysterious and sexy lumberjack - Rosier. In truth, they have given up all hope of a happy future due to the fact of who they are and what is required of them. Until they met each other.

I love that Lexi created a great balance between spice and plot. There's tension, struggles, humor, unapologetic desires, trauma, chemistry, witty banter and characters are multilayered. It really was a page turner. With updated version, we get to have clearer and more in depth story than before, that is told by dual pov.

“Fears evolve and grow, welcoming another. One whose power will balance yours in destruction. You feed his fire as he feeds your chaos. You will turn worlds upside down.”

We get to meet a witch Ellea - a rare trickster and seer witch lineage. Enjoys latte, has open relationships with 3 partners and has a hilarious and sassy familiar Billy. She has a lot of trauma and struggles to unpack, so you will get to see her journey to self discovering and evolving so someone much stronger that she realizes. I loved to see how she grows as a character and I can't wait to see what's in store for her in book two.

And of course, sinfully sexy Rosier - a swoon worthy and shadow wielding mountain of a man, who enjoys reading, swimming naked and chopping wood. He's a a demon witch princeling ;) Also has a hilarious familiar Garm. Jokes aside, Ros has his own dark past to get over and we will only be able to sense a small portion of it throughout book one. As I am currently reading book two, I can say this - you will learn the dark and sad revelations that Ros didn't share before.

The chemistry between Ellea and Ros is tense and steamy, but it does not take away focus from the plot. Garm and Billy are my fav familiars ever! I love every encounter they have with each other. Sam and Devon - we need their own book Lexi 👌

Blushing

I absolutely loved this book but this audiobook is on a whole other level!! Soo good. So spicy. The narrators voices are perfection!

fine not as spicy as other reviews made it seem

the plot was reasonably interesting. I was loving the dynamic with the city boys and I adore Billie. other reviews made it sound like it was a super spicy book, but the spice level was more Minnesota spicy.

Complete Eargasm

I have now read this story 3 times, with the third being completed via audiobook. The way this story wraps me up and fills me with so much emotion never gets old. You will laugh, cry and clench your thighs in this delightful story full of Magic & angst.

The characters are complex, and so easy to fall in love with. Knowing we’ve only scratched the surface of who they are has me desperate for more of them. The story is full of intrigue and secrets that will have you devouring this story for answers.

Audio narration was so insanely hot 🔥 and some dinners may or may not have been burnt due to insane amounts of distraction listening to these two say the most delightful things in my ears.

Obsessed

I loved the book, and this audio did not disappoint! Aaron and Kelsey perfectly brought the story to life.

Love it

Sexy, witty, dark romance. I absolutely loved it!!! I need more of this series ASAP!!! I already bought the second audiobook!!!

I’m usually a passive listening, impossible with this one

I’m historically a passive audiobook listener. I almost exclusively listen as rereads so i can come in and out and be okay. HIS VOICE. His voice makes it impossible not to sit up and listen. It’s perfection!! Not to mention I already love this story. So this is a total win for me.

I love Lexi<3<3<3

This series is amazing and everyone did so great on the audiobook! I can't wait for the next one to come out

This is a good one!

Great story. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. There was a good amount of yummy spice. The narrators did an excellent job and I cannot wait to read the next one!
