Inherited magic. A secret neighborhood. And... a formidable Homeowner's Association?
Recent graduate Mathias Mandrake's life takes a turn when an unexpected inheritance of a distant relative's manor falls right into his lap. However, this home across the country comes with a condition: Mat cannot live there alone. Good thing his best friend Frankie is ready to leave behind his lackluster trail of midnight trysts for a more suburban life.
Eager to hone in his dilf-hunting skills, his bags are packed and ready to go before Mat can finish signing the paperwork. Completing this trio is August, for whom the idea of living with newfound friends away from the hustle and bustle of city life is, honestly, a dream come true. Not only that, but it's a perfect setting to finally finish that novel they've been working on.
Mandrake Manor is a whimsical tale full of mystery and mayhem as well as an abundance of queer joy through found family, budding romance, lots of sass, and light spice.

Historia
Something is very wrong with the Fitzwilliam estate. It was supposed to be a regular seance job. But from the minute I met an angry ghost in the hall, I knew there wasn't going to be anything ordinary about this house or its dead residents. First of all, there were way too many of them. Second, some of them had been helped along from living to dead. Third, my attempt to figure out what was going on got a bit sidetracked when I met the gardener. He was tall, dark green, and handsome. And really, really smart. So I hired him to help me figure out what was going on.

Witch Briar Wyngrave's time is limited. The wasting curse that killed his mother is coming for him too, consuming his magic bit by bit. At least he'll have the chance to make his name as a magical fashion designer with an elite placement in Pentawynn, the country's glittering capital, after graduation. Until, that is, a prophecy sends him to the remote island of Coill Darragh instead, in search of a predestined lover with a mysterious mask.

Historia
Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

Historia
Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Lily isn’t exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined: Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning. As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell’s demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass.

Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him. Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone. He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

A thousand years ago, my great-something uncle founded the Collective, a secret organization dedicated to protecting humanity from demons. The hunter tradition has been passed down over the generations, from parent to child, secure in the knowledge that the Collective is a community of safety and knowledge. But betrayal sucks, and six years ago, it turned my world—and the Collective—upside down. After generations of deception, the hunters left behind are picking up the pieces and trying something we’ve never done before—working side by side with our enemy.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Historia
When my grandmother, the leader of the Rathmore Coven, summons me, I have no choice but to answer her call. To reach her, I must cross the Wood, the realm of Wotan, lord of the hunt. Rumors of his cruelty and brutality precede him, but nothing prepares me to meet the monster face to face. Because Wotan is more than a monster. He's a predator, a bully, and now he's claimed me as his pawn in his war against my grandmother. A master of torture, he's determined to master me, stripping me bare of all my secrets.

Historia
His birth magic leaves Prince Nikola with nothing but bad choices: live as another man's possession, subject to his whims and his desires, or remain dependent on a potion that stunts his powers and prevents him from knowing love. Andreas vows to protect the prince with his life—whether Nikola wants him to or not. After all, the queen pays his soldier's wage. Nikola's nothing but a job to do. But when they find themselves stranded, with Nikola's potion running out, Andreas has to… improvise. Because what Prince Nikola needs to survive is the opposite of a lowly guard's respectful protection.

Historia
Nick has no direction in his life, as his mother often reminds him. He works paycheck to paycheck, which becomes a problem when the paychecks stop coming in. When he's offered an opportunity to work off his rent, Nick decides there are worse things in life than being a super, especially when the job includes free rent. There is, however, a catch. His landlord is a vampire, and he needs more from Nick than maintenance and renter-wrangling. He needs Nick's blood.

My standard issued lab badge reads "Simon", but it really should say "unexciting nerd with no social life". Don't get me wrong - I love what I do with a passion, but it doesn't leave a lot of time for much else. Especially romance. While chipping away at my work, I'm suddenly the person between hired cartel muscle and the fossil that will define my career. Which isn't the most insane part of the story. My savior is a chaotic, bat-wielding punk with a bubble-gum pink mohawk and a killer smile.

Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long-time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn't at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw-up ends him up with the most smoking-hot demon he's ever seen, and he decides he's keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won't be so bad after all.

Good
My first by this author.
Overall this tale was fun. Very different from what I've heard/read. Which, in my opinion is hard todo this day and age.
I very much enjoyed how all three young men embraced the supernatural world without any fuss or drama.
The one big thing that drop it from a 5 to a 4 for me was the back and forth between all three MC and the insta love interests. Instead of making the book about one main.
I get they had to form the coven and start the journey, but all the stories is annoying.
Kirk really does an amazing job with everything. Not just the human voices but the animals as well

Magic and whimsy
I LOVED every bit of this audiobook. The performance was fantastic. The storyline held me hostage. It was funny, romantic, and nerve-wracking. I was an anxious mess a time or two but it was so so good. I can't wait until season 2 comes to Audible.

Loved It
I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I just love setting of this story and I was very quickly sucked in. I loved the mystery, magic, and supernatural. I loved the characters and the supporting characters. I even loved the little descriptions at the beginning of each chapter.
Kirt Graves was the perfect narrator to bring this story and these characters to life. I've listened to a number of his narrations, but this one is my favorite.
This is my first book from this author and I look forward to more.

fun and light spicy
Mandrake Manor: A Cozy Suburban Fantasy Romance by JP Rindfleisch IX is a delightful blend of magic, mystery, and found family, all wrapped in a quirky, queer suburban setting. The story revolves around Mat, Frankie, and August—three very different characters who inherit a mysterious manor with some unexpected supernatural surprises, including a secretive neighborhood and a tough Homeowner’s Association. The characters are rich, diverse, and full of personality, including a nonbinary character who brings depth to the story. The trio's easy acceptance of the supernatural world keeps things light and fun, avoiding unnecessary drama. The world-building is immersive, and the quirky, magical setting is a joy to get lost in. The humor and sass, mixed with just the right amount of romance, make this audiobook a truly enjoyable escape. Kirt Graves' narration is pitch-perfect, bringing the characters and the whimsy of Mandrake Manor to life beautifully. If you're looking for something fun, heartfelt, and unique, this cozy fantasy will leave you smiling.

Read it. Had it Read to Me.
Kirt Graves’ voice was perfect especially for this story. I could feel myself being transported back into Mandrake Manor just as I had when I first read it my self. Each character was distinct and while still being read by the same person, each one had their own sound and voice. 10/10 would listen to again. And I hope that future books of this world are read by Kirt, as it would feel strange if the voice were to change.
J.P. wrote an excellent story, and Kirt really did bring Mandrake Manor even more alive the second time around for me.

Audiobook Good
Mandrake Manor by JP Rindfleisch IX.
This review also reviews the audiobook for Mandrake Manor, narrated by Kirt Graves.
Mandrake Manor is a 2023 novel about three recent college graduates, Mat, August, and Frankie. Mat inherits an old family manor. Unsure of their post-college plans, Mat convinces August and Frankie to move with him to this mysterious manor with him. They know nothing of the estate, Mat didn't even know about this aunt who willed her entire estate to him upon her death.
The estate, it turns out, is magic, the neighborhood is a shelter for magical beings, and everything is not as it seems. The trio quickly discover this as they acclimate to the neighborhood. Frankie works at a veterinary office run by a werewolf, Mat is a dentist who has clients who freeze time to reveal their magical side so he can deal with their magical toothaches, and August is a novelist who finds a quiet but magical café where they can settle in and write their book.
Henbane Hollow
The Henbane Hollow neighborhood seems to be an entity itself. The trio of friends can't even find the neighborhood at first, which is hilarious. But, it is being taken over by a crazy HOA suburbanization project that sounds awful with how dull it will make everything. . Who in their right mind would take historic Victorian mansions and make them McMansions straight out of the 90s? This plot is so sinister in its drive to take all the character out of a perfectly paranormal neighborhood that it is outwardly the big bad in the novel from the start. The HOA president takes being the nefarious neighborhood Karen to the magical next level.
World-Building
The audiobook narration is spot on for building the mystery and sense that there's something not quite right with the neighborhood. The character POVs are interwoven well and the narrator's voices for the various characters is entertaining. I loved how Graves narrates Frankie most of all, the character with the most sass.
Characters
I enjoyed the main characters and their POVs were clearly written as different, such a hard thing to do when writing from so many POVs. Narration also differentiated between the characters well so it was easy to tell who's chapter it was from the narration style.
Audiobook Gripes
The narrator said the word "vague" as "vahg" when it's pronounced "vayg" and that rubbed me wrong. And then let's talk about the French. Oh the French. I KNOW I can be super picky about French dialogue. Full disclosure, I am a French teacher IRL. But Oh My God y'all. If you know there is French dialogue make sure you have the phonetic pronunciation to guide you.
I can tell the narrator tried and they probably took French at one point in their life because it wasn't all wrong. But there were times when he was reading spells that I couldn't even tell what he was saying. And I am well versed in understanding butchered French pronunciation. I hear all sorts of wildly mispronounced French on the daily, as a MIDDLE SCHOOL teacher of French. I teach children who were not taught to read using phonics. I would be so happy to help with pronunciation. Or there are so many websites where you can ask native speakers how to pronounce things.
Overall I enjoyed the narration, the narrator did a good job with building the tension, speaking clearly, acting out characters differently, and keeping the pace steady. I also enjoyed the narrator's reading of the poems at the start of each chapter. On the flip side, the narrator's voice lulled me into not paying as close enough attention as I could have been, at times. This is likely a user error, as I don't often listen to audiobooks and find my adhd self's attention wandering quite easily.
I enjoyed this book and want more from the series. I hope we continue to see character growth and development as they continue their adventures as the Mandrake coven.

Ready for the next installment
I loved this story, its cute and captivating. Definitely a new favorite, and excited to see what comes next.
Does contain "strong language", does not contain explicit sexual scenes. Contains one, suggestive, sexual scene.
Love the pronoun placement, the fact that the "villain" despite being the antagonist was not homophobic or transphobic. I stepped into a world where no one questioned, everyone was respected and accepted.

Whimsical Fantasy
Delightful cast of characters draw you into a sweet, whimsical and wholesome fantasy that is absolutely worth every second. The romantic subplots are enjoyable and engaging. The main plot is solid, if mildly predictable. I absolutely loved that there was no “miscommunication conflict” involved in it. Solid story. Cannot wait for the next part.
Narration was perfect.

Be Still My Non-Binary Heart
Gleeful Goblin Review: The author's description of qüeer joy, found family, and SASS is absolutely spot on. I'm non-binary and it's still pretty uncommon to have representation that's more nuanced be present in media so this story was magical for me in multiple ways. Spoopy/cozy/sweet all wrapped up in an excellent package. I'll definitely be back for more from this author. 5/5 Stars.
