About this ebook

A madman. A sex cult. And world-changing genetic magick.

VERITY STRANGE—Hedge Witch, Youngest Daughter of the Strange Family

Seeing the future isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—especially when you can’t change it. Even more so when your Talent nearly kills you. I’ve searched the world for a guru—a magickal monk—who could help me tame my divination powers, but most were frauds or worse. Being young and female is precarious when you’re consorting with powerful adepts. But then I met Eliphas Storm, and everything changed...

WYLDE BANE—FBI Analyst, Cult Expert

Eliphas Storm is like any other cult leader. Never mind that he’s gathered millions of followers to his sex-magick-enhancing temples. Never mind that he’s likely the madman behind these Talent-destroying drugs. He’s all about the power to control people—people like the beautiful and naive Verity Strange—and I’m determined to take him down. I grew up in a cult, and I know just how much he could damage a woman like her. But going undercover with an uncooperative asset is a good way to get me killed. And stepping back into the world I left is dangerous in a whole different way...

Wylde is intent on bringing down a charismatic cult leader. Verity is bent on proving his innocence and seducing her way into his inner circle. Together, they have to stop whoever is making the Talent-destroying drugs threatening Chicago’s magickal populace.

Verity Strange is the third book in the paranormal romantic suspense series Legal Magick. The series follows the three Strange sisters, each powerful witches in an influential magickal family embroiled in a mysterious plot to change everything about the magickal world. Legal Magick takes place in an alternate Chicago where High Magick returned in 1859 and is now integral in every aspect of the legal—and illegal—world. Each book is a standalone romance.

Verity Strange is book three in the Legal Magick series and the concluding piece. I do not suggest reading these books out of order as they really are meant to be one contiguous story. Each book is about a different sister and her partner in this story, but they are one big story. Verity was not what I expected. I think that should be said first. Ever and Mercy were both very serious and dark (understandably when you realize how dangerous they are) but Verity always came across as very light and playful. Turns out, she's that way because she's mostly in her head and not for light and breezy reasons. I ended up liking her a lot more than I expected I would. Her character was just as deep and relatable as her sisters when it came down to it. Wylde was another interesting character, though I can't say he was the surprise Verity was. All of our male protagonists have had dark and somewhat twisted pasts for sure, and Wylde fit that profile. His fit perfectly (by design) with the theme of this book, so it worked well. But man did my poor heart ache for him. I think what I liked best about him was how easily he managed to play of the naive and innocent 'young' man to pretty much everyone. As stated before, this book is the conclusion of the Strange trilogy and the big finale where we learn the origin, purpose, and how of the med-magic drugs that we have been chasing for three books. Everything has led us to Eliphas Storm and his sex cult; and boy let me tell you, that man is appropriately disturbing. Anyhow, no spoilers, just suffice to say that the book has some magic action, some soul searching, a sweet romance, a heaping dose of steaminess, and a whole lot of crazy cultists. Also some appearances from characters from the last two books. Yay for more Zane! If you haven't read Ever Strange, you really need to pick it up and start there. If you like magic, characters with checkered/tormented pasts, romance, steamy fun, and a good crime case, this series is definitely for you.

This is the third book in this series, and I have devoured every one. This is a treasure. I absolutely adored Verity, and Wylde’s character was fabulous , and so well written. His backstory was such a part of the story, and Verity was messed up with her power. The cult story was excellent and Wylde rescues Verity - it is such a wonderful imaginative story. I just wish there were more sisters :) If there were more than 5 stars I would give this story 6

My rating dropped, not because the story is less captivating but this one was more explicit and full of gutter language that had to be jumped over. I'm afraid if book number 3 is as full or more filled with this I will return to loo seeking for another author.😞
