    About this audiobook

    Niko is caught in a powerful spell that was cast from the very book he sought to protect. Trapped between life and death, his chances of returning look grim.

    Gem is determined to set things right. Armed only with her innate knowledge of language, she begins her daunting quest to break the diabolical spell . . . no matter the cost. When an irreversible action unleashes a new threat, Keystone scrambles into action. Lives are at stake as the team scours the city in search of an elusive foe.

    A bond forged in secrets. A courageous sacrifice. Will Gem succeed at her daring attempt, or will she inadvertently destroy them all?

      St. Patrick’s Day

      At university, I said I hated Nate Moore. It was an annoying-sibling hate, the kind exclusive to teenagers. I remember once we were in the living room of my and Jen’s townhouse-style dorm in the fall of my sophomore year, drinking Kahlua with coffee.

      The Grand Am’s window rolled down but it was too dark out to see in: a hand waved me over, a voice asked if I wanted to make some quick cash standing right where I was standing for the next ten minutes, simple as that. Just stand here? I said. Simple

    • 5/5
      Excellent read. I am completely in love with this series. Can't wait for the next book!
    • 5/5
      Spellbound by Allie TherinMagic in Manhattan #1Stepping into a magical paranormal romance set in 1925 New York was a delight. The plot and characters were perfect to time, place and this story. From page one I was hooked and I kept reading eagerly to find out what would happen next. Rory and Arthur were an absolute delight as they found way to one another. I fell in love with both of them and am so happy they found one another. This book has a cast of characters with and without paranormal abilities. There are relics with power, people who want the relics to gain the power and while Arthur and his band of paranormal people are doing their best to keep that power contained and away from the corrupt evil people after the relics. One of the side benefits that I love about getting to read advanced reader copies of books is that sometimes I stumble on a new-to-me author that I want to read more by. This time I found a debut author that I see a great future for. I loved this book and am eager to read what will happen next in this series. With seven magical relics mentioned and characters with paranormal abilities I want to know more about I am hoping that there will be more books to look forward to soon. What I liked: • Arthur: a noble hero without “magic” but who is magical lifeline to Rory • Rory: a younger man with magic that has so much to give • The Paranormal Friends of Arthur: so much I want to learn about them • Mrs Brodigan and her sister: good women who were there for Rory • Everything...still smiling as I think about this bookWhat I didn’t like” • Exactly what was meant not to likeDid I enjoy this book? YesWill I read more by this author? Without a doubt! Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
    • 4/5
      The descriptive bit: Arthur Kenzie is wealthy, educated and has some very magical friends. He keeps the supernatural secrets of his friends while trying to make sure that magical objects don’t fall into the wrong hands. Rory Brodigan is living a secret life, hiding his supernatural gift by working as an appraiser. The two men meet up when Kenzie finds an object that he needs read by someone with the right abilities. Then, things get really complicated!

      My thoughts bit: This was enchanting! (I don’t regret the pun!) I loved every moment of this book. It was fast-moving, intriguing, and had the absolute perfect amount of sexual tension. The chemistry between Arthur and Rory was carefully crafted and has ensured I will be anxiously awaiting a sequel. In addition to the wonderful main characters, the supporting cast is all well-rounded and contributed a great deal to the plot.

      The supernatural powers in the story were based on the traditional powers one might have read about, but I loved the authors twist on losing oneself into the magic. Each power demonstrated by one of the characters seemed to have an equal drain on them, and the terrifying possibility of losing themselves to a power they were unable to harness.

      This is a creative twist on the supernatural mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    • 4/5
      Fun story, likable characters. The romance pacing seemed off to me, though. It felt like insta-relationship, but also lots of artificial barriers to getting together at the same time. For example, the scene where they're on a skyscaper construction site together. That scene was memorable and sweet, and also didn't really make sense in the context of the story. I 100% can't remember what they were doing up there in the first place, which wouldn't be true if it belonged in the book. And then afterwards, it didn't seem to have moved the needle on their relationship, which it should have.

      This is a good book, but with stronger plot development and a tighter edit, it maybe could have been a great one.
    • 3/5
      That this could tear me away from reading the next book in a different series speaks to how engaging this was at setting the stage for this series. It was a lot of fun, pretty sweet, and a good read overall.That said, I don't know if I have a burning desire to continue. I would be completely fine leaving it as is for now. TBD I guess.And I want more books about this time period. Period.
    • 4/5
      This vastly exceeded my expectations; I was expecting (and would have been satisfied with) something much fluffier, something lighter on plot, detailed fantasy elements, and characterization—instead it excelled at all three. The central romance hit most of the usual tropes and story beats; there weren't any surprises there—but isn't that what we all signed up for? I'm happily anticipating reading more in the series.
    • 5/5
      Was short but sweet. I love the whole series.
    • 4/5
      It was great that this was a continuation of the previous book, so there was closure.
      It was great to have a bit more background on two of the team members.
      And, yes, I still love Christian Po.
