Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Deanna Chase comes the complete set of the Crescent City Fae saga (Books 1-3). Includes Influential Magic, Irresistible Magic, and Intoxicating Magic.

Influential MagicIt's tough being a faery in New Orleans, a city fraught with vampires... especially when their very existence drains your life-force. Willow Rhoswen, owner of The Fated Cupcake and part-time vampire hunter for the Void, is having a rough week. Four years after her twin brother's mysterious death, Willow's life is threatened, and the director saddles her with a new partner - her ex-boyfriend, David. To her horror, he's turned vamp, which causes her physical pain whenever she touches him... and any other specimen of the undead.

In order to save Willow's life, David agrees to turn double agent against the most powerful vampire organization in New Orleans. Or so he says. And she's convinced they know something about her brother's death. Unsure where David's loyalties lie, she turns to Talisen, her childhood crush, to help her solve the mystery.

Caught between two gorgeous men and a director who'll stop at nothing to control Willow's gifts, she'll have to follow her instincts and learn who to trust. Otherwise, she risks losing more than just her life.

Irresistible Magic Finding the perfect dress can be hell...especially when a stranger tries to gun you down in broad daylight. Void agent and magical baker extraordinaire Willow Rhoswen has been anticipating her first date with Talisen Kavanagh since she was 16. After eight years of waiting, there are only two things that can stand in her way - an assassination attempt and a new game-changing drug.

Talisen's invented a new elixir that creates superhumans, ones that can rival vampire strength, and everyone wants it. Including the vampires. With Willow's life on the line, he makes a deal with the devil, one she's forced to accept

Intoxicating Magic Willow Rhoswen is finally coming to terms with the fact that Talisen - the healer she thought was the love of her life - has left town and is trying to move on when a rogue vampire poisons three of Allcot's guards. With his most trusted security team on the verge of death, the notorious Cryrique leader orders Willow to bring Talisen back to New Orleans before it's too late.

But when she gets to her hometown of Eureka, California, Willow once again finds herself the target of her brother's murderer. And suddenly no one is who they seem. With spies, secrets, and undercover missions to navigate, Willow's determined to not only survive but to do whatever it takes to protect the ones she loves, all while hopefully getting her happily-ever-after.

Awesome!

I couldn't stop.listeming to it! On the subway. at work, at home, in the truck.... it was great!

good

a little predictable at times. the same scenarios repeat over and over. her dog gets hurt "Liiiink" and then he's okay. she falls down and then she's okay. over and over. but still good.

kind of felt like Jody foster was reading it to me but still okay. also, ugh is not pronounced "ugg"

Lots of eye rolls!

I liked the story idea but the main character made me roll my eyes all throughout the book. Without giving the story away what is portrayed as being a strong independent female was more of a stubborn, selfish, spoiled brat!

nothing is happening

struggling to finish the first book. 2 hours in and nothing has happened. If you like long drawn out books that do not have a dense plot this is for you.

Fairies, Witches, Vampires, Oh My

Great read and good ending. Twists and turns throughout the first three books. Glad I bought them together. The Void is a bad place that has no checks and balances, but neither do the vampires pods and to save the day they have to work together to weed out the bad in both.

Good but long.

It’s a good series. The narrator was ok. As much as I liked the story, every time I thought it was the ending of the book, it just kept going. Best to listen to this in short segments I instead of most of the day like it did.

great trio of books

I loved this series.
I especially loved links addition to this adventure.
I was a bit frustrated with the lead willows ability to be easy to manipulate by it seemed every bad guy in the story but by the ending I was smiling. I do wish she would have been a bit more of a badass like phebe at least as you get through it though they all fit together like a glove.
this author is amazing and this series is appropriate for young adults as well .

Meh

Can't get through the first book. Willow is annoying AF. I kept listening hoping it would get better, but she makes me want to cheer for her enemies. Not a fan of stupid heroines.

Love this series!

After reading this series leaves you with such a good feeling, its my 2nd time reading them. I always thought once you read a book or watch a movie, why read or watch it again, you already know wverything thats going to happen but some books and movies are so good that you get excited to read or watch again and again and this series it one of those.

Starter book

As a fan of Deanna Chases books I decided to start from the beginning. A fan of her other books theses first three books were a let down. The heroine doesn’t learn a thing after mistakes and misty. No one is THAT stupid. Sorry big let down but her other series are great. She definitely learn from theses first three books.
