An incubus FBI agent, a billionaire witch, and someone spiking street drugs with deadly magick.Zane Walker’s undercover in Chicago’s deadliest drug cartel—and his magic is as dirty as the enhancers they peddle. When a beautiful witch storms in, making demands she thinks she can back up with magick, he’s forced into a split-second choice… and his monster rages out.Ever Strange’s father was … out.
Ever Strange’s father was murdered. They made it look like an overdose, but Asher Strange, world-renown med-magick researcher, would never take tawdry magick enhancers. But before she can get an autopsy, her father’s body disappears… and being one of the richest witches in the city means she will get answers.
Someone’s putting deadly magick into street drugs… and it’s killing people all over the city. Zane’s magick is monstrous, and Ever’s power brings out his beast. But she insists on finding her father; and keeping her safe has suddenly become his job—on top of stopping an epidemic of overdoses that just might be cover for a serial killer. Together, they work to stop the dark magick that’s stalking the streets of Chicago… and try to keep their own secrets from consuming them both.
Ever Strange is the first book in the paranormal romantic suspense series Legal Magick. The three books in the series follow 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.

I am not really into Para Romance but found myself limited on options to read on a borrowed Kindle on Long weekend. I was surprised Once I started reading that I found great characters and couldn’t wait to finish the book. Kudos to Alisha Woods.
Ever Strange
By: Alisa Woods
Narrated by: Lance Greenfield, Brooke Hayden
A mage witch looking for justice for the murder of her father gets tangled up with the illegal magical drug mob and saved by an undercover cop that happens to be an incubus. They have to work together to try get get the bad guys and find her father’s missing body! Hot, action packed, great characters, and loved the magic!
Narration was terrific!
Sorry, I didn’t get very far in this book. It was way too farfetched and just didn’t draw me in.
This was my first Alisa Woods’s book, and won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Legal Magick Series, a great paranormal romantic suspense. Zane and Ever are great character, strong and powerful! Ever is CEO at Strange Medical Technologies, her family empire, and she is a powerful Witch. Zane is an undercover FBI agent at Magickal Crimes Division, and he is an incubus. They share an instant attraction, and a sizzling chemistry. The story has both POV, which is great. I love the sisterhood/family spirit in this story. The storyline is action packed and filled with adventures, and twists and turns. The world building is well done, and complex. The story has a HEA for now for Ever and Zane, but ends with a cliffhanger/introduction to Mercy’s story. Lance Greenfield and Brooke Hayden did a great job with the narration. I love their voices together. I enjoyed listening this story.
Action-suspense APNR
This is a suspenseful adult paranormal- action-romance. Set in a universe much like our own, just add magic. Both “good” and “bad” are in the magical and mundane groups. Dark emotions are still problems, but there are also those who work toward making the world a better place.
Magical talent doesn’t solve all problems just as much as any mundane skill or knowledge can. It is still a matter of choises and intentions thst reveal character. Being magical or not just gives characters more to cope within their dealings with each other and their world. Some characters’ talents make dating/family life that much harder as shown by memories or flash-backs of characters.
Not a cozy read, neither is it post-apocalypse, but somewhere in-between. It’s a world of possibilities, opportunities, and risks as our own is. Woods’ characters are written strong enough to find happiness where they can. Are we brave enough to do the same? Can we use mistakes as lessons and choose or act better next time, or will we let them steal all our hopes, never to rise above it? That is my take-away. Maybe you’ll get something else out of it.

Urban fantasy featuring a different spin on magick. Ever Strange is a witch with some unique and untamed magic who ends up with an undercover FBI supernatural crimes agent to tackle a situation that threatens the magic world. A stand-alone HEA with two more in the series, each featuring one of Ever’s younger sisters.
I enjoyed this book.
Just finished this book. I can’t wait to purchase the next book in the series.
May be better suited to young adult readers.
Page Turner with lots of action!
A magical mystical of a book to read. It’s an era when witch’s are the norm and common folk are the minority. But it’s a good relationship until a drug lord wants to take over by controlling the witch’s powers reducing them to common folk. A witch with great powers unwittingly discovers this plot. She becomes paired with a warlock male that has unusual powers of his own. They are ambushed by the drug lord and drugged. Can they escape and prevail?
Read and enjoy!
This was a fast read and I did buy the next in the series. It is a little strange that each of three sisters has a book focused on her instead of a continuous narrative through the series but the second was good too. They are a little too romance-ish for my taste (the men are stunningly good looking, well endowed and caring lovers, etc.) But the storyline is interesting and the action reads at a good pace.
I really enjoyed this story. Not to mention how hot the idea is of someone affecting your mind, using your own most orgasmic moments to incapacitate you and potentially kill you with ecstasy. An incubus paired with a ‘chaos’ witch-her collective magic charging him and him feeding it back to her can keep them lost in a potential loop, but when they learn to control that….watch out! I am a fan of Alisa Woods, having read most of her books and this is a new storyline for her. I have pre-ordered the next book and am interested in how these two evolve.

But when she goes to talk to him she is apprehended by Zane Walker a undercover agent for the FBI, Magickal Crimes Division. Hes undercover to put Pennies away in a Magical prison.
I absolutely adored this book! The world Alisa Woods creates is so interesting! Even without the romance this book would be awesome. Zane is a tortured soul, powerful and so, so sexy. Ever is just as powerful. This book is intense, dark, sexy and action packed. It’s full of magic and great characters. I cant wait for the next book in the series!
This book is the start of Legal Magick.
The plot starts off a bit slow but but once
I got past the first few pages it actually got
real interesting. Can’t wait for the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
A VERY interesting twist on “magic” and how it works in their world. Very entertaining, I’m looking forward to getting the next book in the series.
Ever Fabulous! A Definite MUST READ!
Another great and powerful well written world by Alisa Woods! The Legal Magick series is going to be the best paranormal series of the year! I really loved this book and couldn’t put it down, then I started pining for the next book in the series. An absolutely wonderful story filled with intrigue, HOT STEAMY passionate love, strong females, hot men, mobsters, FBI, and of course lots of magic. HEA, save the day, with no cliffhangers – just a can’t wait to see what the in the world will happen next!
Ever Strange
Ok, I admit I wasn’t sure about this book but after I read the blurb, I found myself one clicking the preorder. I like Alisa and her paranormal books generally but as I said uncertain about this one. Well I should have known better…….as it was awesome
Ever’s father supposedly OD’s and then his body disappears….poof. She is now trying to find out where his body has gone, so that she can prove his demise wasn’t because of drugs. When she unfortunately stumbles across a drug cartel’s meeting….oops
Zane is an undercover FBI agent and when Ever shows up unexpectedly, rather than getting the evidence he needs to shut down the operations of this drug cartel, he decides to save her life instead. Through this meeting Ever and Zane strike up an unusual relationship with heaps of chemistry and sparks of Magick
A not to be missed first book in this series and I look forward to Mercy’s story next…hopefully with Arrow?
Curious-er and Curious-er! A Wonderful Suspenseful, Dark, Romance.
I’ve read several Series by Ms Alisa Woods and have always enjoyed the stories/worlds she’s created. This is definitely a darker series than I’ve read from her in the past. Although the h and H (Ever and Zane) reach their HEA in this book, it does end in a cliffhanger in as much as there’s more to the larger Series Story then was handled in Book 1. I look forward to reading the complete series to found out the rest of the “Legal Magick” story.
Three things I’d like to point out:
1. I have to say that the lead up to the explanation of Zane’s magick was masterful. I had no idea what was coming!
2. Her reference to “Witchipedia” made me LOL!!
3. Finally, I sure hope to see more of Ever’s cat, Salem, in the rest of the series, she was hilarious!
I received and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
