Dirty Magic Prospero War Jaye Wells Books

*I read this book for my own enjoyment.

Kate Prospero is put on suspension from the force due to a deadly encounter on the job. A man with oddly predatory eyes, fast running, immune to charms, and growing hair all over who's drawn to blood. This man was connected than Kate had ever imagined. Drawing her to an opportunity on a new task force to help clean up the dirty potions and the top of the chain of who's making and selling them. Kate was raised on the streets of the Cauldron and can help with her knowledge, and maybe contacts, to help find who's making the new deadly and dangerous potion.

First thing I noticed, Jaye's descriptions. Nicely done. Her writing feels to have grown greatly coming into this book.

We start into the world with a quick insight to a new potion and what it does to its users. We then take a step back and see Kate Prospero in her life, with family and friends. Her family is a huge thing in Kate's life. She has complicated...issues with some of her family, but her younger brother lives with her. Taking care of Danny and keeping him out of magic, whether clean or dirty, is her goal in life along with helping to clean up the streets as a cop. This is a huge motivator for Kate through out the book.

Then come to the team she'll work with. The crew is fun and I enjoy their interactions with Kate. Especially Morales who becomes like a partner on the beat to Kate. He gives Kate a hard time, but it feels as it turns into innocent picking on a friend a the book goes. They do grow closer as the story goes. We have the cool science guy, Mez, who's a wizard and mixes clean potions for the team going into dangerous situations. And Shadi, who I feel we don't see enough of in this book. She's part of the team but does different parts to the same mission.

This book felt like it was one that anyone who loves cop shows could read. The story didn't feel high in the magic field that others would be distracted by it. The story feels as though it's more character driven based on Kate and her wants and desires to do or not do things, also her complicated family connections don't help her but make her beliefs stronger in her mind.

The magic part of the story is very low key. There is no spells whipping around like Harry Potter. The magic is discrete and in the sense of mixing potions, which are similar to drugs. The making of the potions actually feels more science than magic to me, though there is a moment of magic in making them. The world of drugs and a dangerous city is replaced with the obsession with potions that can make you prettier, faster, to lose weight, to protect you, and much more. But! These potions come at a cost. If you over use them, which we see is very possible as people become addicted to them, you could turn colors like purple, or lose all material possessions with the need for more and end up living on the street. Or, the worst cost to potions, you could lose your life. And we do see this example in the book.

The story is well constructed in we see how the characters are lead to where they go. There are strong beliefs that they don't want to deal with, yet by fighting it they are lead to face what they don't want to. Kate has much going on in her personal life with raising her younger brother, it's hard having a teenager. But Kate also has to deal with a prejudice at the police station because she's a female and because she's an adept. There is plenty of action to go with the story after we get through the introduction phase of the book.

I was impressed with how well all worked together to create the world of potions and the cop scenarios. Well done. I'll be looking to pick up the next few books when I get money.

Dirty Magic Prospero War Jaye Wells Books Reviews

Dirty Magic (written by Jaye Wells) focuses on Kate Prospero, a beat cop who joins the Magical Enforcement Agency.

The best thing about this book is that it takes the - sometimes - tired Dark Urban Fantasy genre and completely comes in with a sucker punch and takes the concept of magic (the usual potions and energy and the like) and turns it into something very mundane. The hook is that magic is just like any other drug that mostly anyone can make or use for good or evil purposes which causes problems for the Agency.

The characters are one-dimensional but I don't mean that as a bad thing. While some characters are plotted out more (such as Kate or her elderly neighbor) others (such as the lead officer of the MEA) are not developed beyond a certain stage. With that said, I enjoyed them all as they interacted within the plot and each character added something to the novel.

The writing is fast paced and easy. Wells gives you just enough detail on the world introduced in the book without overloading you as the reader.

I definitely recommend "Dirty Magic" to the dark urban/urban fantasy fan.
Dirty Magic was a great read. It is urban fantasy but focused on magic instead of on various supernatural species such as many UF series are that I’ve read. I felt it was a refreshing change from that. Oh don’t get me wrong there was a type of were in this book but it was one brought on by a dirty magic potion rather then being a supernatural race.

I don’t need no stinking magic!

Kate gave up all things magic ten years ago when her mother died from some dirty magic. She also comes from the wrong side of the tracks you could say and now works for the cops instead. A recent case has her hot to get assigned to a special task force to find the culprits behind the newest and nastiest dirty magic on the streets. She makes the team of course and the hunt is on.

When siblings raise each other

Kate has been raising her younger brother these past ten years and I really enjoyed the family dynamic this bit added to the storyline. While I really like Kate character she makes done classic parenting mistakes where her brother is concerned. These things totally got under my skin as I’m sure they were meant to. It was an excellently done portrayal of a sibling/parenting situation.

A little potential sizzle sizzle burn

It looks like there might be two possible heart throbs in Kate’s future with forthcoming books. Thankfully Dirty Magic only sets up the possible scene for romantic entanglements, and I don’t know which way the author will take things but I know I’m liking what has gone down thus far.

Thoughts on the audio narration

Excellently done!! I’ve become more and more hooked on audio books lately. I find what will really pull me in is how well the characterization is accomplished. If a narrator can pull off all the personalities and voices of the different characters such that it really feels like each of those people are real to me and not just being read to me then I know that is a winning narrator. Morgan Hallett was definitely able to do that and I’ll be looking for more narrated by her.
