“But I’m not half-of-a-whole sort of woman. I’m whole all by myself”

Wild Magic is written in the genre of urban fantasy/mystery with some paranormal romance involving witches, mages, demons, and vampires.

First off….Peri is a QUEEEEEEN 👑
She is so fiercely independent that it left me in awe of her. Her ability to rebuild herself after such trauma and betrayal in her life really spoke to me. I think the author did an incredible job creating a strong FMC, which is what I love to see in a book.
Valen is just as good. The way he supports her and matches her energy is just lovely to follow. Throughout the book he makes a point to allow Peri to flourish and discover herself, which is such king behavior.

I love love love a good fantasy book with a mystery storyline. Alexandra combines these genres very well and the book had many thrilling and page-turning moments.

This story also contained a lot of character building between all of the main players. This makes me hopeful that there will be more world building to come in the next book!

The ending was so good and I definitely have my theories. I can’t wait to see what Alexandra Ivy does next!

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

This book was tail wagging good and it kept me reading long into the night when I should have been curled up in my bed. It was fast paced and unputdownable and I can't wait to get my paws on book two!! This review was submitted by Lark Tails the pupper who reviews books!!

Alexandra Ivy’s new series is an absolute must read. I can’t wait for more. Stunning cover, and can’t put down story.

I always enjoy Alexandra Ivy books, I find they are able to create a cool fantasy/paranormal world that hooks me in. I really liked the romance between Peri and Valen and the will they won't they element. Overall I really enjoyed this universe and look forward to reading more in the series.

Thank you to netgalley for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

This short mysterious, magical, slow burn romance really hit the spot for me. It took me right out of a reading slump. A must read!

This was a fascinating and fun read. I loved the struggle Peri went through as she worked through her past, the mystery surrounding the coven, and her feelings toward Valen. And, Valen, initially came off as a single-faceted character that was only concerned with Peri via a weird obsession. But, after time, the depth of who he was and his motivations came to light.

It was a beautifully woven story that built over time in complexity. I'm hoping this isn't a one-off and turns into a series because I'd love to read more!

Wild Magic by Alexandra Ivy was so good, it’s a brand new series by such an awesome older author who knows who to write! I cant gush about it enough, i read this over the summer time and i am excited to listen to the audiobook.

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I loved this book! Enemies to lovers, a magical mystery quest, bad ass mage FMC, and sexy, brooding, touch her and I’ll kill you Vampire mob boss; this is the fantasy mafia of my dreams.

Love the sassy banter, interesting magic rules that are introduced in digestible ways, and how just easy the read is. I need two pack of these kind of books to read a day please!

Can’t wait for the second book, I want it in my hands asap

I am so happy to have read this one! Once upon a time, urban fantasy was my to go genre to take a break, it was a sort of comfort genre for me, but then I started outgrowing it and, sadly, I didn't find new series to love. I still continue, and love, some of the ones I started back in the day but as far as novelty go, I haven't find some new series to read. I tried the first volume of a lot of them, and I am not saying that they were bad, just that I didn't fall in love with them as I was hoping/expecting. But this one... this one was something different!
I really enjoyed the setting, and I love that we have so many supernatural beings around. I really hope to see more of them around in the next books. And I really enjoyed the characters, Peri is a strong woman, who has her heart in the right place, and Valen is her swoon-worthy counterpart.
And the plot was interesting enough. I had a really good time with this book, and I am really happy to have read it!

Genuinely enjoyed Peri and Valen's story! The pacing of this book turned it into one of my favorite reads of the year.

Alexandra Ivy's 'Wild Magic' catapulted me into a whirlwind of paranormal romance, weaving a narrative rich with mages, demons, vampires, and an enthralling murder mystery. As a lifelong book enthusiast, particularly of stories that blend the mystical with the romantic, I found myself captivated by the tale of Peri Sanguis. Her journey from a tumultuous past, marked by betrayal and danger, to her alliance with the enigmatic Valen, ruler of the Vampire Cabal, struck a chord with me. Their mission to unravel the mysteries of a deadly magical mist and the demise of Peri's mother was both fast-paced and filled with a slow-burning romance that was as frustrating as it was delightful.

The dynamic between Peri and Valen, characterized by witty banter and mutual respect, was a highlight, showcasing Ivy's ability to craft characters that are as complex as they are charismatic. While I yearned for more depth and involvement from secondary characters like Skye and Maya, the promise of their stories in future installments keeps me eagerly anticipating more.

Despite some initial confusion at the story's onset, the latter two-thirds of the book were so engaging that any early ambiguity faded away. Ivy's world, replete with intrigue, danger, and love, rekindled my admiration for her storytelling prowess. 'Wild Magic' is not just a book but an invitation into a universe I'm not ready to leave. My thanks to Netgalley and Kensington Books for this enchanting read; I'm already counting down to the next adventure in this series.

The story was entertaining and kept my attention. Definitely a different take when the community you grow up in tries to kill you for something that’s out of your control but very relatable to “real” life. Even though this has a romance and the male main character seems to be set on finding his one true love in the 16-year-old girl from the beginning, the romance actually turns out to be a slow burn and one in which the main character can hold her own. Thank you NetGalley for the e-book!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book. This was a fantasy full of vampires, daemons, magic, and more. Enjoyed the multiple POVs, and I always love a good slow burn. Excited for more from this author!

Pure fire! I'm use to reading her historical romance novels so this was a different genre for her and man did she blast it out of the park! I loved every word of this! It kept me up all night reading it. I can't wait for the next in the series. Perfect!

The first book in an all-new series, Magic for Hire by Alexandra Ivy. Wild Magic will take you to a place of creature and magic and tell the story of Peri Sanquis, and ancient vampire king Valen’s.
I loved this book and the characters and look forward to reading more.

This is definitely a don't want to put down book. I was so enthralled with this story. Peri is someone that fights for what she wants. And no one is going to tell her what to do. Part of this story takes place in the state I presently live in. Wyoming isn't a state that you hear much about. The chemistry Valen and Peri is definitely something Peri can't resist. Even if she tries. This is book one in a new paranormal series that I can't wait to keep reading.

This is such a fantastic paranormal romance. I love the touches of magic and the relationship between the main characters.

I was intrigued with the story blurb for Alexandra Ivy’s Wild Magic. Vampires, mages, witches, and magic gyres all drew me in. The story begins with Peri, a mage, working a spell on a local bad guy. She lives within the territory of the dominant vampire, Valen. Peri and Valen are brought together as they explore what happened to Peri’s mother, who led a witch coven and attempted to kill Peri when she was revealed as a mage. The story had a lot of promise and is in a genre which I favor. The character building was two dimensional and I did not find myself empathizing with Peri or Valen. For that reason the story fell a little flat for me. It’s an interesting read but not a story I will re-read.
I received an ARC of Wild Magic by Alexandra Ivy from NetGalley for an honest review.

Overall, this novel was a fast-paced and entertaining tale. I’m intrigued to see where it could go and how the world will expand. I enjoyed this so much!
