If magic could kill, it would. Or, at least it would kill Devon Jinx.Half warlock, half… well, it used to be half witch, but I’m not so sure anymore. Ever since I defeated a powerful witch, my magic isn’t what it used to be. And, yet, I still hunt the ring leaders of the witch slave trade.Until a more unsavoury plot appears. Gerard, my handsome agent partner, works with me to unravel the … partner, works with me to unravel the mystery of the warlock and witch gatherings. Apparently, they want to do a lot more than party. They’re prepared to create half-breeds, like me, to keep the warlock coven safe from the witches who threaten it.
And yet, from my own experience, being a half witch, half warlock, isn’t all fun and games. If I don’t stop the rogue supernaturals, the poor beings that are born into the world will face the same ultimatum as me: To choose just one type of magic… or die.

This 2nd installment of the Hunted Witch Agency is fantastic, phenomenal, exciting, thrilling, etc. It continues from where Magically Bound (Book 1) ended. Ms. Medhurst has a style of writing that pulls you into the story. Her character development is excellent, you learn more about her characters as you progress through the series. The action is fast paced with many twists and turns. I read Magically Bonded in one sitting as I did not want to put it down, needed to see what happens next. As with Magically Bound, we have a cliff hanger. Am anxiously waiting for the next in the series, Magically Betrayed. I cannot say enough about this series – I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend it. I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
4 Stars
Magically Bonded is the second book in the Hunted Witch Agency Series by Rachel Medhurst. This book picks up where book one ends off. Devon is still struggling with her situation and between her witch and warlock sides, and finding balance. The Agency is still investigating the witch kidnappings and finding the one responsible. Romance seems to be blossoming between Gerard and Devon. And I hope that develops further as the series continues. Looking forward to more!
Thank you, Ms. Medhurst!
This book continues just after book one and you don’t even miss a beat. Devon is so confused and her powers are still screwed up. Gerard wants to help, but Devon is having a bit of trouble accepting it. She ready to do what she needs to do in the hopes that her magic will straighten out. I don’t want to give too much away, but Devon’s family gives a whole new meaning to dysfunctional. This is turning out to be one fantastic series. I volunteered to read an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
This is the second book in the Hunted Witch Agency, is certainly doesn’t disappoint!! The characters are funny, and well developed. The plot keeps moving at a crazy pace, secrets are revealed, personal history’s torn open and skeletons fall out of family cupboards at an alarming rate! Action and magic aplenty, with a little sexual tension just to keeps things popping!
Cannot wait for book 3!
This picks up almost exactly where the first left off and never stops to let you catch your breath.
One thing I like about this author is she doesn’t spoon feed you. From the very first book, she drops you into the middle of the world, just as if you were to go to London, for instance. You learn about the world as you go along with explanations given as the situation arises rather than setting everything up with long expositions. I don’t know about you but I prefer this method to the long historical expositions. Kudos to Ms. Medhurst for keeping it real and expecting her readers to keep up rather than writing down to them.
Devin is still trying to be both witch and warlock but, as a result of the last book, her magic is bonded with that of her coworkers. Things build right to the surprise ending where you find out what;s really been going on. Ready to dive into the third in this great series. Can’t put it down.
Devon and The Agency are still looking to root out whom is at the evil core of abducting witches, stealing their powers and selling them off. This book was so good. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
The storyline, the action, along with just enough unpredictability is what kept me reading when everything in me wanted to chuck this book and move onto the next. Thankfully, once I got past the halfway slowness, the story picked up speed and I thought I might as well finish the book for the sake of review. Devon, the main character, was irritating on several levels because her inner dialogue and emotional reactions were super immature and much more simplistic than I cared for, rendering her character shallow and unrealistic. Despite this, the plot was pretty interesting, and I will read the final book in the trilogy because it will be free.
I want to be clear: my issue is with the writing and the way that the story is portrayed. This trilogy has great potential, but is too short for proper world building, character development, and character interactions. It’s like a bad movie; you only keep watching because the creativity and premise of the story is barely intriguing enough to keep you reeled in, but every time someone speaks you can’t help but roll your eyes in annoyance. The action scenes are also much more well-written than non-action scenes, and thankfully this second installment of the trilogy has more action than the first. Also, Gerard’s character is still written in such an inconsistent and shallow way that I still struggled to get a good picture of this guy’s personality and emotions. Yes, there are vulnerable moments where he opens up in the book, but I can better picture Justina and Kurt’s characters and they aren’t even given the same amount of exploration as Gerard. Like I said, so much potential, but barely interesting enough.
