Description from the publisher:

Let the Trials begin...

The time has finally arrived! The Trials are in full swing and celebratory parties fill The Isle as Candidates go head-to-head to prove themselves worthy of the coveted Ranger title. Drinks, dances, and masquerade balls set the stage for a glamorous series of events until suddenly, it all changes.

The most dangerous criminal on the island escapes from prison. Tragedy strikes. The Isle is thrown into chaos due to old, forbidden black magic, and only one person can help.

As the island’s Mixologist, Lily is expected to step in and save the day. When she’s forced to keep secrets from X while deciphering decades old clues, however, she’s pushed to the edges of her sanity.

With the help of her family, The Core, and her new boyfriend, X, Lily must stop The Puppeteer from taking over the island before it’s too late.

Because if she doesn’t succeed, nobody will.

Welcome back, Islanders.

This is the third book in the Magic and Mixology series.  They do need to be read in the order of release.



I love this series a little more with every hour that I listen.  Though Lily (and her relationship with Ranger X) is the center, there is so much more, and that “more” is what makes it fabulous.  Each character, scene, and spell is woven into a tale that transported me from grey skies to an enchanting, bewitching, magical island… and I never wanted to leave.



I love the way that the characters have grown in their roles, especially Lily.  Her family is amazing, supportive, and loving, especially her badass grandmother, Hettie.



If someone were to ask me to recommend one series to start listening to on Audible, this is the one that I would suggest.
