About this listen
The war isn't over...
With the world clinging to a fragile peace forced on the Fae by humanity after the Faerie Wars, metalsmith Alex Blackwood is plunged into the world of the half-fae who traffic in illegal magical artifacts. Her best friend's murder and his cryptic last message place her in the crosshairs of a scheme to reignite the decade-old war between humans and fae.
Worse, violent attacks against her and the arrival of a fae knight on a mission force Alex to face a devastating revelation of who and what she is. To catch a killer, retrieve a dangerous artifact, and stop a war, Alex will have to accept that she's an unregistered fae "halfer" with a unique magical talent - a talent that would change everything she believes about her past, her art, and her future.
Her world is crumbling around her, and Alex will have to decide who to trust if she and the world are going to survive.

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. When a criminal has magic too dangerous to merely lock up, we send them to a blackout prison. Hell would've been a better destination for this guy. As a lowly cop in the LVMPD's Rapid Response unit, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of dumpster-fire scenarios, from drunk salamanders on a building-melting bender and angry manticore landlords threatening to eat tenants' gallbladders in lieu of payment to human summoners calling up monsters from the deep to impress their girlfriends to name a few.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

They all think I know where the damned statue is. Then I'm attacked by demons. It wouldn't be so bad, but some of them are really rude. Being rude is a capital crime where I come from.

Jenna Faith teaches self-defense to vulnerable women. She knows only too well what it's like to be on the run from someone and fleeing a past you'd rather forget. But her own past is about to catch up with her, in the form of know-it-all, hot druid Grey. He blackmails Jenna into taking on a case that her old magical task force can't solve, and she finds herself on the trail of a monster, an ancient evil that snatches children from their families and disappears with them into the night. When a young girl is stolen from under Jenna's nose, the race to save her life begins.

Story
In detective Mera Maurea's experience, three things motivate a murder: secrets, convenience, or passion. But none of the three can explain why the Summer King is dead. With a tight deadline hanging over her head, Mera has to figure out who's the culprit before the frail balance that holds the nation of Tagrad together crumbles into dust. To aid her - or turn her life into a living hell, hard to tell which - is her fae partner Sebastian Dhay, a snarky detective with a penchant for the illegal. He's a volatile wild card who will do anything to solve the murder, even if it means his doom.

Story
My name is Scarlet Jones, and I'm a witch...of some kind. Probably. I grew up in a family full of strong Blood witches, in which my strange magic never belonged. I thought I was the only one of my kind out there, a true freak of nature, and I liked it that way. I lived on my own, learning to hunt these creatures nobody seemed to know anything about, a bunch of mindless thingies who were in the habit of sucking my magic dry wherever they found me.

Her answer is to drop off the face of the earth. Safely hidden in a quiet seaside town, she just needs to keep her head down and pretend to be a regular human. Since her only magical ability is the power to control animals, that should be easy, right?

Story
They call me an abomination. A mutant. A curse on their kind. I don't let it bother me. Much. My name is Holly James, and what they say is true. I'm a freak of nature - a null. My mere presence saps the magic from others, rendering them powerless. That's why they hate me. But here's the kicker: I've found a way to profit from my lack of mojo. Whether it's acting as a mystical wet blanket in a dispute between pyromancers or keeping hormonal shifters from changing during a sweet 16 party, I provide a highly specialized service.

Intriguing Urban Fantasy
This is the beginning of a promising series. The story starts with the female main protagonist being attacked by a couple of males. Then later she is attacked by other people, or beings. Let’s just say she isn’t having the best week or two. She finds out things are not what they seem. People she thought of as human aren’t or not just human. Monsters are not necessarily bad, and being human doesn’t mean you are good or right.
The author welcomes us into her world with each new character and situation. Making for a colorful world made up with a plethora of different beings who capture your interest and heart.
I recommend this book to fans of Urban Fantasy and the paranormal.

I'm not sure
So, the beginning starts off really good. But then it becomes cumbersome as more of the established world is explained. The characters are interesting so I hope the story will come together better in the next book.

I love a good Magical World!
I enjoyed this book. I have also read book two in the series and am partway through the third one, so I would have to say the author is doing something right.
The world of these books starts with magic and the Fae as something everyone knows about, but that doesn't mean there aren't other discoveries for the protagonist, Alex Blackwood, to discover along the way.
Do you like magic? Fairies? Mysterious happenings? If so, I would say, you will find this series an interesting and fun one.

A pleasant surprise!
I have never had the pleasure to read nor listen to any of LE Braden’s Novels therefore I was elated once I purchased this Audible to find a new author that I truly enjoy!
I highly recommend this audible; the storyline is unique and never lags therefore once I started listening I couldn’t stop until the end!
I’m definitely looking forward to LE Braden’s next masterpiece!

Took me a minute at first
I wasn't sure about this book at first, but I kept with it, and it got better pretty quickly a couple of chapters in. I went on to books 2 and 3, and this series kept the pace of drawing you in more and more into the adventures and description of this main character's world.

I almost gave up
The narration was a bit choppy. The main character was frequently annoying. However, I had things to do, and this kept my mind occupied. The story eventually progressed well, and came to a reasonable conclusion.

An interesting story.
Fantasy stories of this type are not my go-to books to read** so I was a little surprised that I really enjoyed it a lot. The narrator was very good and AFAIK this was the first audiobook I’ve listened to that she’s narrated. I’m pretty picky when it comes to female narrators (I usually prefer to listen to a male voice) but I would listen to more from Heather Costa. It’s the first book I’ve read by L. R. Braden.
The story itself was pretty complex and that’s understandable for the first book in a series of this type. There was a lot of set up for the world/series happening so perhaps the next books won’t be quite as involved set up wise. I haven’t read many (maybe not any, I can’t remember) stories with Fae and the other kinds of characters that were in this story so I don’t know how this compares to similar fantasy worlds.
So, while this might not be my normal kind of story to read/listen to, A Drop of Magic held my attention and I found the story interesting and engaging.
**I read this for a reading challenge I was participating in.

Sorry this book should be a hard pass.
I listen to the book entirely. I choose this book after reading other reviews and I did not have the same experience. The voice of the narrator was high pitched and annoying. The story line was not enjoyable. It was free to listen to but a waste of time.
