Publisher's summary
Hero. Traitor. It all depends on which side you’re watching from.
When the vicious ruling mages launched a war against their heirs, they tore the magical community in two — and I walked out on my family to stand with their enemies. You could say I was championing compassion over tyranny, but really it was pure self-preservation.
Two years after our victory, I’m tutoring a way-too-charming heir who’s totally off limits, dodging my parents’ vengeful spells, and trying to figure out where I’ll land after graduation. My once-prestigious ancestry isn’t doing me any favors. Most of my peers look at me with more suspicion than warmth.
Then a mysterious, brooding man arrives on campus with news of a conspiracy that could destroy our newfound peace. To unravel it, I’ll have to reconnect with the dark side of our community. Disavow my few friends. Woo the mages who idolize my family.
If I fail, they’ll probably kill me.
By now, I know there are worse things than death. And this might be my one chance to prove I’m more than a traitor — to my allies and myself.
But with the charming heir and the mysterious brooder along for the ride — two bad ideas I can barely resist — and a horror from my past rising from the ashes, I’m in way over my head. Will I win the day? Ha. The real question is, how much am I going to lose?
Crooked Magic is the first in a new urban fantasy trilogy set in the Villain Academy world. Enter here for magical conspiracies, an outcast heroine, and a fraught romance where she'll get to keep both her suitors.

Story
All I wanted was to keep my distance from the criminals I work for and get my little brother out of the hell that is our mother's house. Then I died and woke up to four stunningly hot gods telling me I'm now a valkyrie. Sly, sharp Loki. Jovial but ferocious Thor. Dreamily compassionate Baldur. Grim and secretive Hod. I'm connected to all of them through a bond we barely understand. The longer I spend with them, the more my walls start to crack. But the gods didn't summon me just for kicks. Their king is missing, and they need me to find him.

I came to Roseborne College looking for answers. This place swallowed my brother whole. What I discover are sadistic teachers who torture more than teach, unearthly sounds that echo through the night, and a wall of roses that holds the students captive. To unravel the mystery of this place, I need the help of three very different, unnervingly appealing guys. Guys who might be just as messed up as I am.

For years, the monsters who killed my family have held me in a cage. Brutalized and half-starved. Only kept alive so they can steal my blood. Until one evening, when three eerily gorgeous men rescue me. They offer a safe haven under their protection with everything I need to heal. I'm not used to this kindness—or the desires their smoldering eyes and strong hands stir in my body and my heart. But these fearsome men aren't really men. Like my former captors, they're fae who can shift into wolves. A curse gripping the faerie realm turns them wild under the full moon.

I make a living out of screwing over the jerks who capture and torment supernatural beasties. But when I free a bunch of particularly powerful monsters from their cages, I'm not counting on them following me home like lost puppies - stunningly hot lost puppies, but still. These manly monsters are determined to repay me for my help, and they won't get out of my apartment, until they're satisfied we're even. There's something to be said for allies so devoted they'll tear off heads and shred souls on your behalf. I'm all for joining forces.

The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana’s La Petite Mort Casino, and he’ll forget my father’s gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I’ll do anything. With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn’t matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I’m certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me.

crooked magic
In Crooked Magic, we are two years later after everything went down with the heirs and their parents. This story deals with Cressida, and while I didn't like her in the other series I will give her a chance in this one I promise.
As always Eva Chase has mystery surrounding mystery that will suck you in and have you wondering just what is actually going on, and make you wonder who is the good guy and who can you really trust. And don't even get me started on that ending.
And as always Jamie Lamchick does an amazing job narrating this story.

Loved This
I was so excited to go back to the Royals of Villains Academy world. I love that series so much. It was so fun to get to read Cressida’s story. The steam between her and Noah was just fire! The fluffy at the end of this one man! I need the next one right now. Thank you to the author for a review copy of the audio for this one in exchange for an honest review!

Wonderfully Entertaining
What a cliffhanger!! Eva Chase has left us dangling over the edge again without a safety net! I'm feeling all the feels.
My heart absolutely goes out to Cressida! She wasn't ever a favorite from Royals of Villain Academy because she always seemed reluctant and shady. We really get to see just what her motivations are and where her heart rests. Her past is so much more vial then I ever could have imagined. She's a victim that now is claiming her choices and forging her own path. She's brilliantly breathtaking as she thinks through options and acts right on the spot.
The guys in this are as different as night and day. I can't wait to see where this series will take us.
If you liked Royals of Villain Academy and just need more of that world, you will love this! It's like seeing friends again and getting a glimpse of Rory and her fellow barons is quite the treat. One-click this beauty today!

And we're back!
Yay, it's so fun to be back in the Royals of Villain Academy universe and I'm so happy that Eva Chase decided to continue it. I can't say I Cressida is who I ever thought I'd like to learn more about, but she makes for a fascinating character. It's fun to get in her point of view and see what's going on inside of her, and I feel bad for her that her family are such terrible people who essentially torture and torment her because she sided with Rory and the boys before. I'm liking the relationships that are developing here (loving Noah!) and I love seeing bits of the old crew around as they deal with the fallout of what they did in the old series. Great narration, as well. I can't wait to read more!

Spin-off from Villians of Royal Academy
I appreciate the fact that this narrator is different from the one narrating the original series which this series spins off from, since this is a different MC.
This series is a spin-off of Villians of Royal Academy. It is not truly necessary to read that series to follow along, Eva makes sure to give a small summary when it is relevant. But it’s small, which ensures that the reading pace doesn’t slow down by any means.
I am grateful I know everything that happened two years prior to this story, I much rather have the full story. It does give extra information that makes following this story a smoother experience. I don’t really know how “flat” this world would seem if I hadn’t read that series first.
But if you love guessing for a bit or have no need for the full history, you do get a summary of the necessary details so you can jump into this series straight away if you really want to.
My suggestion is that, if you’re considering whether or not to read or listen to the 8-book series prior to this story, you might as well first read those because this book will spoil a lot for you if you were to read that series after this one.
In this spin-off we follow a previous tormenter-turned-good-friend of Rory, the MC from VoRA. Cressida’s parents are one of the most prestigious families in Fearmancer society. And on opposite sides as the new barons. Those opposed to them call themselves the reapers.
After changing sides 2 years ago by leaving her parents behind for the heirs in the battle against their parents, Cressida has become a great friend to the new barons.
But the new barons still have enemies. The Reapers.
So after someone informs the new barons of a mysterious plan plotted against them, Cressida plays spy, with the ruse that she has seen the errors in her ways.
It is the same world, with the same intrigue and politics but a nice change of view. Never imagined I would want to follow Cressida but it has been insightful to see what’s going on in her mind. Struggling with the guilt of acting out of self-preservation instead of really wanting to take the heirs’ side in that epic conclusion, she still wants to prove her loyalty. I can’t help wondering whether it is guilt that drives her or low self-esteem. After all, how would we be if our parents kept on terrorizing us just to prepare us on being strong and holding our own in a world where loyalties mean nothing and everyone can, and most likely will be plotting against you... and everything can and will be used against you.
We get the lonely-as-hell but-clever enough to secondguess everything said and done around you side of Faermancer society vs. the warmth and genuineness of the current heir to the barony who’s her handler while she’s undercover.
So although it’s the same cruel world and the same politics, it’s a whole new story with more of a redemption feel instead of a “tumbled in this cruel world filled with injustice I won’t tolerate” and with love interests that aren’t bullies. Which is clever because we get more of this wolrd but the way we get to see it is different so it doesn’t get boring.
And oh my, that ending... I need book 2 now lol

So happy to continue reading in this world of magi
This book continues the story of The Royals of Villain Academy series. While you don't have to have read that series to make sense of this one, you should because it is really good.
Cressida Warbury sided with Rory Bloodstone and the other scions against the Barons who were the leaders of the Fearmancers. Her parents had been on the other side of the conflict and she now found herself disowned. Now the former scions, and their relatives, were the new leaders and Rory has completed her time at Blood U and is ready to take her place as a full Baron. Cressida still has some time left and very few real friends still attending the University. Her TA position in Professor Burnbuck's Illusions class does not make the students trust her or seek out her help, except for Noah Ashgrave. Noah was Baron Declan Ashgrave's younger brother and he often asked her to tutor him, though she wasn't sure he wasn't just keeping an eye on her for the Barons. When she is called to meet with the new pentacle members she is nervous and wonders what she might have done wrong.
It seems a Fearmancer whose family sided with the former barons has shown up and reported that the opposition is still up to no good. They need a double agent to try and discover exactly what the other side is planning, and Cressida is the perfect person for the job. But will it be more than she can handle even with Noah's help?
Thrown into a world of intrigue and backstabbing, Cressida does her best to swim with the sharks. But does she really know who is on which side of the conflict? Well, you won't find out in this book. Yep, cliffhanger ending. Stay tuned. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Cliffhanger Alert!
This amazing author has left us hanging in the edge of our seats again. I love her world building and character development. I really enjoyed Royals from Villain Academy. I enjoyed learning more about Cressida and her struggles. Narration was well done and brought the story to life. She develops into an amazing character with so much depth and becomes strong, independent, and fearless on her search for justice. I love Noah and can’t wait to see how things will grow between them. I totally understand her caution but he seems like an amazing guy. Looking forward to the next book in this outstanding spin off from Royals of Villain Academy.
