Summary

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.

So good I finished it in one day!!!

I know the book is only 7 hours but it was impossible to put down. It gave me quite a few laughs and I am a sucker for books with strong female characters with the odds stacked against them

Bloody Brilliant

Yes. Yes. Yes. Listen to this now.
This was my first ever Annette Marie Book. I'd somehow never heard of the author prior to this but the synopsis looked good so I took a cgace and gave it a go. I'm so freaking glad that I did! I actually listened to this audiobook in May and by April I had purchased and (listened to), not only every available book in the series, but every book Annette Marie has ever written.
That’s how good this book was.

OK, let’s get to the actual book review now that I have finished telling you, apparently, my entire life story. It’s written in first person narrative so you feel intimately connected with Tori straight away. The narrator does a fantastic job and you can tell each characters voice from another easily. It’s easy listening and damn fun. The humour is sarcastic, witty and playful and you quickly fall in love with the characters; they leave an imprint on your soul. Seriously.
This book is the first in the Guild Codex: Spellbound series. It follows Tori, a sassy, flawed but badass individual, as she attempts to navigate a hidden world of magic with the help of three handsome strangers who have secrets of their own. A genuinely enjoyable book to listen to.

Fun, funny, and captivating

Chris Dukehart does a stand up job of captivating the MC's essence. (the only issue I have with her performance is sometimes she pronounces words in a weird or unfamiliar way "quay" as "kway" instead of "keee" for example).

Tori is hilarious. I love her grumpiness and her stubbornness. Her character shines through in her every decision.
Actually, all of the characters stand out wonderfully. They're so individual and interesting and dynamic.
The story itself is fun, and interesting. I spent a lot of my time in heart-pounding tension or grinning ear to ear.
I would absolutely recommend this book to fans of urban fantasy, especially hidden magical worlds.

My comfort series

Discovered this series when I was pregnant and heavily sick with it. Ever since, I've loved it and it is my go-to listen. Good character development, fantastic world building and great long lasting story. Should one day make a great Netflix series.

My favourite series

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read and listened to this series. It is by far my favourite series and I have never found anything that comes close to its humour, action, and characters. It is amazing. It will always be my go to series.

Love this story and series

Only downside is the wierd mix of the use of mage and 'mahj' and not pronouncing quay correctly.

Intetesting and Easy listening; the perfect combo.

This book was well paced with no unnecessary filler but including detail when it added to the story. The story itself was entertaining and coupled with the choice of narrator made very easy and relaxing listening.
