Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures

Guild Codex: Warped, Book 4

De: Annette Marie, Rob Jacobsen

Narrado por: Iggy Toma

What's a hardworking MagiPol agent need to do to get a little R&R?

Between Agent Söze, the treacherous Internal Affairs tyrant whose taken over my precinct, and the super illegal sorcery my partner Lienna was hiding in said precinct—which is now missing—my usual routine of busting magical criminals has fallen apart in favor of hectic damage control.

But that went out the window too when a respected Guild Master was found dead. Agent Söze is trying to cover it up, which is all the reason I need to make solving the murder my top priority.

Except now Agent Söze is trying to arrest and/or kill me. Not entirely unexpected, but both dangerous and highly irritating.

With the clock ticking on the next mysterious Guild Master murder, Lienna and I have to find a way to prove Agent Söze is behind it all. We need rock-solid evidence to bring him down, which is kind of tricky when crooked agents, shady allies, and cutthroat assassins keep complicating matters.

And if we don't get to the bottom of it fast, my next day off will be in the morgue as another corpse to be swept under the corruption rug.

This series gets better and better!

I'm really liking Kit and Lienna, and even if their "romance" is moving VERY slowly, I love that that is not the focus of this partnership. Instead, their growing friendship and their belief in each other, as well as their willingness to call each other out (usually her calling him out, but not always) as well as forgive each other's foibles. Bottomline--I really love their partnership and friendship without all the complicated relationship stuff getting in the way. This one takes place immediately after the novella More Than a Little Warped, and while reading novellas are not always necessary, I think it would be helpful if you read it first, so that Soze going off the rails doesn't seem so sudden. Plus, the novella overlaps the last Spellbound book, and helps explain how Kit suddenly arrived from seemingly nowhere.

I loved how the Crow and Hammer showed up in this book, and there were some hilarious scenes with not just the Spellbound folks but also Zylas and Robin. When Kit suddenly spots the hammer, I was dying. Just look for that scene.

This series started out slowly, and I wasn't so sure that I liked Kit and Lienna, but after this book, I am glad there are at least two more books planned for this series. I can't wait to read them both!

love this Character

my wife and I love this book seiers very much. we recommend to all are friends and faimly.

Back at its peak

Kit Morris is one of my many spirit animals in my spirit animal pantheon. Quickly became my favorite character in the Guild Codex Series. Book 1 was my favorite. 2 I thought had some great moments but didn't give me as much enjoyment as 1. 3 was a step up again, and here we are at 4, and Kit is at his best since book 1. Love this guy. Every witty line of dialogue is always a knew slapper - my favorite one that had me rolling was the one with the cookie. That was the best part of the book imo. 10/5.

Just love this whole series

One of my favorite things about this author is that the main characters from other series pop into each other’s books. there’s also unexpected things that happen, and I love being surprised by an author.

Excited for more

I love Kit, his movie references are such a great character aspect. The pace and layers to this installment was great and I LOVE the appearance of my two favorite characters Robin and Zylas!! I am super excited for the next installments!! I hope we get more of the other Guild Codex crew!!

Like a movie in my mind

Annette is one of the best writers. My only complaint is that it’s too short 😭 can’t WAIT for the next one 😊

Amazing as always. Wish the narrator had pronounced Zylas correctly

Amazing as always. Wish the narrator had pronounced Zylas correctly. Otherwise, it was indeed wonderful.

So fun!

These books are addictive and so fun. I love how each series interweaves with the other. The characters are fantastic. While they each wrap up nicely they of course leave you anticipating the next. Thank goodness she’s a fast writer and publishes often!

I Love Kit!

This is my favorite series in this grouping of stories! Kit's sarcasm and random thoughts are great! I can't wait for the next book. I was sad to think this was the last one, but saw there's another coming.

This one does have an open ending, but not a major cliffhanger. I also love this narrator! His delivery is perfect.

If you haven't listened to the other series related to this one, get on it! I love how these all weave together.

editing

why did no one tell this narrator he's been saying people's names wrong and this isn't the first book
