Tori is hardheaded and abrasive, and looking for a new job. She’s sees an ad for a bartender at the Crow and Hammer, and bluffs her way into a bartending position. She thinks the clientele is a little odd, but she holds her own. She later learns that it is a guild for mythics - which are mages, witches, psychics, hags, etc.
Humans are not to know about mythics, but Tori is the best bartender they have ever had, she holds her own and takes crap from no one. So they decide to keep her around.
This is a fun urban fantasy. And thankfully not a reverse harem. Sorry if that’s your thing, but it’s not mine. There’s no romance in this one, but there’s attraction for sure. I’ve already read the three books that are out and they are funny and don’t repeat the same plot.
If you’re looking for a funny urban fantasy, like [b:Slouch Witch|34670747|Slouch Witch (The Lazy Girl's Guide to Magic, #1)|Helen Harper|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490304725s/34670747.jpg|55840251] give this series a shot. Sorry for the obvious pun

a fun read!
I really enjoyed this book and will continue with the series. I loved the boys and Tori’s character too. I’m definitely interested in finding out more about Ezra. What a neat way to incorporate magic and supernatural elements into this story and I really like the fact that Tori is just plain human but pulls her own weight!

I have never read a book so efficient and entertaining in its exposition. Absolutely fantastically paced and edited, a real marvel of craft. Very strong female gaze, your milage may vary.

This book was pretty good. I REALLY liked the MC and supporting characters. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t near enough romance-personal preference-so it can’t be a 5 star read for me.

4.5 stars. Wow LOVED this book. I was immediately captured by Tori’s personality and the world. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next between her and the “three mages”. ;) I’m looking forward to continuing the series!

Whilst Annette Marie’s work is of such a high quality that I can only (jokingly) attribute it to magic—I mean, how else does she create such complex worlds, well-developed characters, and compelling storylines?
—it’s obvious that in actuality, she is a dedicated author who puts her blood, sweat, and tears into her stories. This series is an attestment to that.

Three Mages and a Margarita is book one in The Guild Codex: Spellbound by Annetta Marie.
This is my first taste of Author Annetta Marie. I’ve had my eye on her work since she first came on the scene. Her covers are very eye-catching and make want to take a second look.
Three Mages and a Margarita was a very entertaining and amusing listen.
Tori is our lead. She’s a twenty-one-year-old heroine who’s currently sleeping on her brothers couch while attending college and working in the serving industry. Tori doesn’t have the best of luck on keeping a job and soon she’s looking for something new. Magically she finds herself at an unusual bar and the tale that unfolds is hilarious, snarky, sweet, and fun.
We are soon introduced to three mages who are all friends/roommates and work together to collect bounties. Tori’s interaction with each one is unique and each guy plays a role in her life as a friend. There might be a possible love interest, but that’s not here nor there.
The story-line is fast-paced and enchanting. The world-building is nice. The secondary characters are all unique, interesting, and fun.
Three Mages and a Margarita unfolds nicely and is a great start to the series. I can’t wait to continue on. If your looking for an enjoyable urban fantasy to listen too then this is definitely one to check out.
Narration: Cris Dukehart is a new to me narrator. She did a fantastic job with Tori and the rest of the gang. Things moved along at a nice pace, emotions where captured, and the snark came off as fun and appealing.
Rated: 4 Stars

The MC was so sassy and it was awesome to see her kick ass as a human in a magic wielding world! I loved this adventure and can't wait to read the next in the series.
