Publisher's summary

Inherited magic. A secret neighborhood. And... a formidable Homeowner's Association?

Recent graduate Mathias Mandrake's life takes a turn when an unexpected inheritance of a distant relative's manor falls right into his lap. However, this home across the country comes with a condition: Mat cannot live there alone. Good thing his best friend Frankie is ready to leave behind his lackluster trail of midnight trysts for a more suburban life.

Eager to hone in his dilf-hunting skills, his bags are packed and ready to go before Mat can finish signing the paperwork. Completing this trio is August, for whom the idea of living with newfound friends away from the hustle and bustle of city life is, honestly, a dream come true. Not only that, but it's a perfect setting to finally finish that novel they've been working on.

Mandrake Manor is a whimsical tale full of mystery and mayhem as well as an abundance of queer joy through found family, budding romance, lots of sass, and light spice.

Read it. Had it Read to Me.

Kirt Graves’ voice was perfect especially for this story. I could feel myself being transported back into Mandrake Manor just as I had when I first read it my self. Each character was distinct and while still being read by the same person, each one had their own sound and voice. 10/10 would listen to again. And I hope that future books of this world are read by Kirt, as it would feel strange if the voice were to change.

J.P. wrote an excellent story, and Kirt really did bring Mandrake Manor even more alive the second time around for me.

fun and light spicy

Mandrake Manor: A Cozy Suburban Fantasy Romance by JP Rindfleisch IX is a delightful blend of magic, mystery, and found family, all wrapped in a quirky, queer suburban setting. The story revolves around Mat, Frankie, and August—three very different characters who inherit a mysterious manor with some unexpected supernatural surprises, including a secretive neighborhood and a tough Homeowner’s Association. The characters are rich, diverse, and full of personality, including a nonbinary character who brings depth to the story. The trio's easy acceptance of the supernatural world keeps things light and fun, avoiding unnecessary drama. The world-building is immersive, and the quirky, magical setting is a joy to get lost in. The humor and sass, mixed with just the right amount of romance, make this audiobook a truly enjoyable escape. Kirt Graves' narration is pitch-perfect, bringing the characters and the whimsy of Mandrake Manor to life beautifully. If you're looking for something fun, heartfelt, and unique, this cozy fantasy will leave you smiling.

Be Still My Non-Binary Heart

Gleeful Goblin Review: The author's description of qüeer joy, found family, and SASS is absolutely spot on. I'm non-binary and it's still pretty uncommon to have representation that's more nuanced be present in media so this story was magical for me in multiple ways. Spoopy/cozy/sweet all wrapped up in an excellent package. I'll definitely be back for more from this author. 5/5 Stars.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Good

My first by this author.

Overall this tale was fun. Very different from what I've heard/read. Which, in my opinion is hard todo this day and age.
I very much enjoyed how all three young men embraced the supernatural world without any fuss or drama.
The one big thing that drop it from a 5 to a 4 for me was the back and forth between all three MC and the insta love interests. Instead of making the book about one main.
I get they had to form the coven and start the journey, but all the stories is annoying.

Kirk really does an amazing job with everything. Not just the human voices but the animals as well

Loved It

I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I just love setting of this story and I was very quickly sucked in. I loved the mystery, magic, and supernatural. I loved the characters and the supporting characters. I even loved the little descriptions at the beginning of each chapter.

Kirt Graves was the perfect narrator to bring this story and these characters to life. I've listened to a number of his narrations, but this one is my favorite.

This is my first book from this author and I look forward to more.

Magic and whimsy

I LOVED every bit of this audiobook. The performance was fantastic. The storyline held me hostage. It was funny, romantic, and nerve-wracking. I was an anxious mess a time or two but it was so so good. I can't wait until season 2 comes to Audible.
