Summary

When supernatural secrets collide, it’ll take more than coffee to brew the perfect love. 

When Ky Hernández bonded with his familiar, Zuri, his life changed forever. Their connection turned him into a practicing witch and led him to his calling as a medimagical professional. However, it totally tanked his love life - what guy would settle for eternal second place behind a parrot? 

So, Ky keeps his witchy nature under wraps and sticks to hookups with humans, which can never go anywhere. But the mouthwatering barista at the coffee shop next door makes him thirst for more than a caffeine fix. 

The charms Ewan Jones uses to appear human are inconvenient, disorienting, and necessary. Ewan and his siblings are achubyddion, metaphysical healers whose powers are coveted by unscrupulous supernatural beings.

And let’s face it: All supes are unscrupulous, given the right incentive. He’s grateful for the protections that hide his little family and for the barista job that keeps them housed and fed. He’s just so lonely. And his regular Ky, the super-hot, commitment-averse EMT, seems like the perfect candidate for a one-night shot at intimacy. After all, humans are no threat.

It takes a clumsy coffee shop intern, a mysterious werewolf epidemic, and one snarky parrot to unravel their pasts - and give them a chance at a future.

Fantastic!

Great book and great addition to the series! I liked all the new characters and loved all the cameos. The plot was really interesting and I thought that all the new developments were great. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story and the characters to life! I really adore this world.

Worth the listen!

I really, really enjoyed this listen. It was quite the quirky surprise for me, in fact.

This might be my first EJ Russell book, but it sure won't be my last. I adored the seriousness of the story that went along with the fun, flirty characters. It was witty and wry, very sweet, and very smartly written.

Definitely one worth picking up!

I loved it

I enjoyed this paranormal story all about not living or giving into fear.

This book could be read/listened to as a standalone but to get the most out of it, you need to have at least read the Cutie and the beast, but I would read/listen to all of the books of this world if I were you.

The characters are as ever from this author, well rounded a little flawed but willing to learn from their mistakes. It was nice to see characters from all of the other series’ making appearances. Although the story was about Ky and Ewan, I did enjoy them as characters, my favourite is Jordan and I do hope he gets a book soon.

This is a book because it has a very interesting conflict at its heart and that is what made it so engaging. Greg Boudreaux does a great job. Overall a worthwhile experience if you like paranormal books/series with an ever expanding world.

Wonderful mix of paranormal and reality

I enjoyed the first book in this series immensely and was glad to see some characters from that one returning. What I particularly enjoyed about this book was the combination of paranormal/supernatural aspects with the medical and healing arts. Initially, both main characters are hiding their abilities from each other so that they cannot be abused by evil characters. It was fun watching them slowly figure out the secret and then team up to use their powers for good and to develop their relationship. I look forward to seeing more careers with the supernatural mix added in as the world building continues in future volumes. There's nothing to be said about Greg Boudreaux's work that hasn't been said innumerable times before. His talent for various voices, his minute attention to and care with the details and his emotional range continue to put him at the top of audiobook performers.

Wonderful story

I loved this audiobook! I enjoyed the eBook when I read it, but the audio and the incredible narration by Greg Boudreaux provide an even higher level of enjoyment. The change in voices for each character and the inflection he puts into the various events and emotions are fantastic. The story of three unique healers (don't ask me to spell it!😏) realizing that in hiding themselves from those who would abuse them, they have imprisoned themselves just as much, is sweet and poignant, and the love story between Ewan and Ky is augmented by Zuri's limited but entertaining commentary. I do want to go back and find out the story between David and the fae warrior. It's touched on briefly here, but I am sure there is so much more. Overall fantastic story!

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

An incredible treat!

I am such a huge fan of EJ Russell's books that I have read every single book written by her, so I was happy to discover that the Universe that started with the Fae out the water series, continued with Mythmatched, and now we have another book to continue the plotline. I loved everything about this new book, how many of the characters of the previous series made an apparition in this story, how Ky and Ewan complemented each other and how their worlds collided as they need to overcome their own prejudices and many misunderstandings to be together and of course, how it opened a whole new angle in the captivating plot of this Universe. Of course after enjoying this book in its ebook version, the audio version was a must. Mr Boudreaux made an amazing performance, with his nice voice, great acting skills and an agile narration, that really brought the characters alive. (sorry for the cliché). It was an incredible treat, not just to have read but heard this perfect little part in this wider paranormal world.

Witches and Achubyddion and Werewolves – Oh My!

I don’t read many paranormals, although that seems to be changing of late. I’m on an E.J. Russell kick, and this is my fifth book by her. I’m immersing myself in these stories, but parts are still very new to me. Like a witch’s familiar. Kentucky (Ky) Hernández is a witch and his second is a mouthy parrot named Zuri. I loved Zuri. Apparently a familiar takes top billing in a witch’s life, so Ky only hooks up with humans – hiding his real nature of course.

Ewan is an achubyddion. I only found out what that was from the last series, Fae out of Water. A type of mythical healer. Ewan believes he and his siblings are the only ones left in the world so they must block their true nature. But a guy’s gotta make a living, so Ewan toils away in a coffee shop instead of healing like his soul is demanding he do. He’s naïve and inexperienced, but when Ky offers to show him the way things are between men, he’s game. Except when he discovers Ky’s true nature, he runs. Because supes and witches and all other creatures will destroy Ewan and his family – or so he believes.

Then one of his co-workers is injured and Ewan has to make a choice – save someone he cares about and risk discovery, or let the young one die.

Add to this chaos a virus taking out werewolves and things get very complicated. I got to see many of my old friends (Alan and David as well as Tanner and Chase) and meet some new ones as well. I got my happy ending and I hope there will eventually be more books in the series – hello, Jordan HAS to get a happy ending! I remember Jordan from the last book. The clumsy young werewolf who loves frisbees. It’s nice to see he’s making his way in the world, but he’s also a bit of a disaster.

Loved Greg Boudreaux’s narration. Loved the book. Can’t wait for more.

Loved it.

Great addition to the series. Fell in love with the characters. Loved tbe way this book tied into so much of the past events in the same world from an entirely new perspective. Without requiring reading the rest of the related books to stand alone. Fantastic job crafting the story, wonderful narration. Great read.

Coming Out of Hiding

Witch Under Wraps is the second book in the Mythmatched series, and technically, it can stand on its own. However, it is part of a bigger series known as the Mythmatched World. The Mythmatched World is composed of three series beginning with Fae Out of Water series, then the Supernatural Selection series, and finally the Mythmatched series. I highly suggest reading all the books in order to really enjoy the richness of the world building and getting a feel for all the amazing characters’ backstories. This series has to be one of my favorites, and I have definitely re-read these books multiple times.

Witch Under Wraps is just as fun and engaging as all the previous books in the series. There is a lot of action, worldbuilding, and great character development. Ky is a witch who is a self-proclaimed commitment-phobe. He prefers his encounters to be string-free and easy going – it’s what works for him. However, when he meets Ewan, there’s just something about the handsome barista that Ky can’t shield against. Soon Ky finds himself attempting to help save the supernatural population from a mysterious illness while also untangling all the secrets that make up Ewan’s life. The romance in this book is a bit light, but the intensity in the relationship between Ewan and Ky makes up for that. There’s also some very sexy intimate scenes that definitely spiced up the pages. I really enjoyed the focus E.J. Russell put on the importance of relationships not only between Ewan and Ky but also with all their friends and family. Every book in this series just gets more and more fascinating, and I hope the author continues to write more in this universe.
