Summary

Dixon Penn’s family wasn’t terribly shocked when he announced he was gay, but they were devastated to learn he’s the only one without the gift of spellcraft. Fortunately, that doesn’t stop spellcraft from reaching out to him.

Dixon’s prospects have gone from bad to worse, but a contest at the biggest greeting card company in the tri-state area would be just the thing to turn his luck around. So what if he’s not technically a Spellcrafter - he’s been scribing pretty words and phrases all his life. How could anyone possibly write a better verse than him?

Yuri Volnikov, the taciturn Russian security guard at Precious Greetings, is determined to keep the charming contestant out. But Dixon has always been a sucker for big guys with exotic accents, and he won’t take no for an answer.

Whether or not Dixon wins the prize he hopes for, when he and Yuri work their magic together, it’s clear that luck is on their side.

The ABCs of Spellcraft is a series filled with bad jokes and good magic, where M/M romance meets paranormal cozy. A perky hero, a brooding love interest, and delightfully twisty-turny stories that never end up quite where you’d expect.

This collection contains the first five stories in The ABCs of Spellcraft series: Quill Me Now, All that Glitters, Trouble in Taco Town, Something Stinks at the Spa, and Dead Man's Quill.

Great book and I love this narrator so much.

Great books and love the series and the storyline. It's like every JCP book, totally worth reading many times over. One of my favorite authors. Highly recommend.

Amusing Stories

The story and characters  are engaging and the narrator has very distinctive voices for each character, always a plus for me.

take a chance

I took a chance because Nick is my favorite narrator. I wasn't disappointed with the stories at all and actually found myself laughing out loud a lot.

MM magic at its very best!

This is amazing. The characters, the world building, the stories, the humour and as for the narration well, it was spot on. Nick Hudson did an amazing job with the characters, particularly the Russian accent, and brought them alive with light and humour. I found myself laughing out loud at times and often chuckling. Yuri is just perfect as the stoic Russian Seer with a heart. And Dixon as the slightly batty, over the top Scrivener who finally gets his quill. The two of them as a couple balance each other perfectly. The situations they find themselves in bring out their personalities and allow the reader to appreciate them in full. The mix of MM romance and magic is awesome and this is pure entertainment!

A Great Way to Spend a Few Hours!

The ABCs of Spellcraft is an entertaining journey with Dixon & Yuri over the course of 5 stories narrated perfectly by Nick Hudson. He did a great job with Yuri's accent & I absolutely loved his performance of Dixon...fabulous!

This series of books had been on my TBR for a while but I'm glad I got to experience Dixon & Yuri's developing relationship & their adventures (or misadventures) with crafting spells together whilst trying to solve the mystery of Uncle Fonzo's disappearance in this format first. The quality of the narration really brought the magic (pun totally intended) of 'cosy mystery meets sweet romance' to life. Bring on the next installment!!

Hilarious

Anything by JCP is brilliant, dry, and wonderfully written, but Nick Hudson makes this hilarious! His Yuri is simply perfect. Want pure entertainment? Buy this (and if you haven’t got the Psycop series by the same author? These are also must have listens).
