I'm not a badass mage like my three smokin' hot best friends. I'm not a sorcerer or an alchemist, or even a wussy witch. I'm just a human, slinging drinks like a pro and keeping my non-magical nose out of mythic business. Seriously, I know my limits.

So why am I currently standing in a black-magic ritual circle across from a fae lord?

Somewhere behind me, my three mage friends are battling for their lives. Somewhere near my feet is the rogue witch I just knocked out with a stolen spell. And I have about five seconds to convince this very angry sea god not to shmoosh me like a bug.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't part of the job description.

This series is certainly addicting.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019

Oh, this series delights me ever so much! I truly wish that it would never end. This series has it all! Scenes that will make you laugh out loud, high stakes, magic, a grip of handsome mythic men to drool over, and a heroine that has no superpowers but can still kick ass with the rest of them.

I am so glad that Annette Marie decided to go the route of episodic episodes for this series. While elements from each book crossover to the next in the series, each book has a self-contained plot. While there is enough information planted into the books to leave some mystery and plot points to grow on for future books, there are no cliffhangers. Marie is a truly skilled plotter. Her stories take on a life of their own. The construction of her stories is always incredibly clever and the basis of them is always unique. It is what I have come to expect from her stories and I have never been disappointed. I love that I never know what to expect from the plot and that I am always surprised by the outcomes.

The world-building is much the same as in the first two books. The world itself is set in our own world, but with a secret, underlying magic world underneath. I am really enjoying the interesting magic system that Marie has created for this series. We get to explore some more of the rules and exceptions to that magic system in this book.

The characters are the absolute best! They are so easy to love. They have perfect chemistry and they feel like a family. I love the deep underlying aspect of friendship in this series. The characters care so much for each other and will go to great lengths for each other in this sometimes dangerous mythic world. There is also a large aspect of family or found/chosen family. The guild is a family for those that are members and Tori has been lacking in this department for most of her life so the guild becomes that for her as well. The characters are all written with enough mystery about them and their pasts to make you wonder what the missing pieces are and how they may fit into the story in later books. I liked that Tori was going through some deep personal emotions. She has to face her fears that if she should lose her job at the guild then her new friends would be lost to her as well. She faces her abandonment issues from her past with a little help from Ezra. I liked seeing more of Kai in this book. A look at his past was awesome. I liked that Zak returned in this book. I love his character and this book just cemented my love for him. I also liked the parts with Darius. He is the leader of the guild and he is as sharp as a blade and has a big heart. I liked the tender moments with Ezra. Aaron is trying to decipher his relationship with Tori. And I liked the introduction of new characters that kept things interesting. Bottom line, Marie can write characters like no one else. They are always complex with unbelievable chemistry.

There wasn't as much romance in this book. Tori and Aaron are trying to sort out their feelings for each other, but I don't want to get into it much because...spoilers. Let's just say that I wasn't surprised by anything.

This series is certainly addicting. I definitely recommend this series to fantasy lovers that enjoy fast-paced plots, an original story premise, and characters that will make you laugh out loud. It is ever so easy to fall in love with these books. I can't wait for the next installment of this series, Demon Magic and a Martini, which comes out in April! (Oh god, it feels like forever!)

Two witches start an avalanche of adventure you don't want to miss

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020

Tori embarks on yet another journey into unknown-to-her magical realms where dark arts, evil rogues, and dark fae have targeted her after some not-so-honest, but good witches seek her help locating the missing small fae from the area around their coven and Tori ends up bound to the Lord of the dark fae. With the help of the Ghost, her best friends, and members of the guild where she is a bartender, they eventually free Tori and the dark fae Lord from the bond that is killing Tori. This book is full of intense mystery, intrigue, magic, and suspense. It has its fair share of feel-good moments, romance, and friends. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who have just started their journey into The Guild Codex series of books! I've read this one three times now and am on the third time through the next book in the series. I can't get enough of these books! In fact, I enjoy them so much I've bought the entire set and pre -subscribed for the new ones coming out. Enjoy!!

Gotta a love a gutsy, snarky heroine and her three best friends

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019

I was going to say the best thing I like about the series but I can’t just pick one. (1) Tori - I love that she may have her issues that doesn’t hold her back. She’s smart, loyal, and brave and she’s not afraid to hit someone upside the head when they deserve it. (2) The Best Friends - Aaron, Kai and Ezra - Not only are these guys seriously awesome fighters but they’re really good guys. I hate those books where the girl chases after the “bad boy“ instead of going after something healthy. While they also have issues (we learn more of their backstories!), they’re just as smart loyal and brave as she is. (3) The secondary characters - like Darius, Sin and Twiggy - don’t feel like secondary characters. (4) Well paced, not cliched and *funny.*

So what makes this book great? Some of the things hinted at previously - like the threat of the MPD - are fleshed out. We see more of the Ghost and this book delves more into how Tori feels about being human around a bunch of mythics. There’s a great surprise at the end (which I won’t spoil). You’ll just have to read a book to find out what it is.

I am eagerly waiting for the next book to come out. Read it. You won’t regret it.

I really love this series still. Based on my past experience with unrelated series/authors, I should hate Tori's reckless need to run into the fray when she is outmatched. I should also hate the guys' building trust that she can do it, despite all of the problems that happen. But I don't. I love it. It works. So enjoyable.

This series has really grown on me! I’m not even going to lie: I’m attached. I love the mages. Each “job” is one wild ride after another. And i’m literally on edge, trying to guess who Tori will end up with (right now, it’s a toss up between a dark druid and a mysterious mage)!!!

The Guild Codex series is so much fun…it's a quirky and fast-moving storyline. Although there are teasing hints suggesting a reverse harem (due to the closeness of the relationships), the author has kept the storyline one-on-one, but the chemistry between Tori and the three mage (and a druid) is smokin' hot. Excellent, fast-paced plots, supernatural politics, and a bartender who just wants to be included in the magical community she works in. A delightful ride. I highly recommend this urban fantasy series.

Annette Marie is on my list of top favorite authors. Her Demonica series brought me to this one and I love it just the same!
She has created a magical world within ours with incredibly well-rounded characters. The Ghost is my favorite after Zylas, and Tori's spunk often has me laughing out loud. I can't get over these books! I'm waiting for both series to cross over, and I think that just might be happening next!

Sooooo Good!

The 3rd instalment in the Guild Codex series is such a great read. We're still kept guessing where Tori's love interest will be but I'm rooting for Ezra! It was great to see Zak again and I love their interaction. The story was brilliant as per usual. There's always a disaster with Tori around but at least she's entertaining! There are quite a few developments in this story and if you've read the first 2 books then you'll love this one too. If you haven't, why not? Go read them, you won't regret it.

Brilliant, Brilliant, MAGICAL

I was so eager to get my hands on this next installment of this witty series, and as usual i am left wanting more of the story! Yet again Marie has not disappointed with this next book. Parts of the story left me grinning and laughing, while others had me on the edge of my seat, finding it hard to take my eyes away from the screen.

The development of this story is incredible as predicted from Marie; Tori's continuing growth, the relationships she has formed from the start of the series and the entertaining, dark magic filled world Marie has created. Makes me wish it was April already.

The romance aspect in this story would make anyone swoon. I know Marie said this book is not a RH but you could definitely tell there are aspects of it in this story. Well with 3 gorgeous boys with mysterious pasts and a powerful, Rogue Druid I can see where that's hard for a girl. I just hope Marie doesn't play too hard on it and we finally get to see more development like we did with Aaron and Tori in the next book.

*Lifts whisky shot in the air* This was an amazing, magical, easy too read book/ series so far. Here is too Marie and the fast coming of April. *shots down Whisky*

The wood sprite has been gossiping

Annette Marie has become one of my favourite authors. The plots are solid, the characters entertaining and the dialogue is just fun. Tha main charcter is Tori, twenty one with a smart mouth whose sole goals in life it to A) Get a job - check B) Keep said job - looking uncertain, may get messy C) Try really really hard to stay out of trouble - she really should just give up now, particularly as her wood sprite roommate has been gosspiing about her to other fae and D) find an affordable place so she can get off her brother's couch and move out - lo and behold she has actually accomplished this one. Sounds simple right? Naaaaah. Enjoy folks!! You won't be disappointed.

My review of book 2 was something along the lines of I love the story but the love interest wasn’t quite doing it for me. Thanks for sorting that in this action packed book which is exciting, lighthearted and fun.
