Synopsis

Let's get one thing straight—Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact, she's probably the last witch in the world who you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content.

However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses. It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body which a cover model would be proud of but, as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch-work. And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.

Goodreads review by Jacob on September 08, 2017

I got this a while ago and put it off because I don't find the lazy thing terribly appealing. Once I picked it up, though, I had a hard time stopping and found myself closing the book (okay, turning off the Surface) late at night with a contented sigh. I just loved Ivy and Winter didn't suck, even u......more

Goodreads review by Mara on June 30, 2017

2 1/2 barely Urban fantasy light. Very light, in both senses of the word. It reads easily, but as a UF it lacks a tight, logical mystery. They don't really sleuth, they stumble around. World-building is pretty confused too, that thin layer's that there.. The plot is what makes less sense to me. An arm......more
