A mage with deadly magic.
A royal thief fading to a curse.
A forgotten love that will unravel their world.


When Adira’s crook of a boss sends her to a Las Vegas casino as one of his goons, her world turns upside down and she’s tossed through the gates of a strange, dangerous world of Mage courts and curses.

Disoriented and convinced she’s in a twisted afterlife, Adira is overtaken and robbed by a band of highwaymen whose seductive leader stirs something in her soul.

Soon, royal guards rescue her and believe her to be a powerful blood mage, prophesied to protect the kingdom. But while dining with the mage prince, his drunken stepbrother stumbles in, and Adira recognizes him as the thief who ambushed her in the forest.

As their forgotten pasts intertwine, Adira and a thieving prince may be the only ones who can unravel a spreading degeneration of the Mage kingdom, but enemies of old are rising and it will become a battle between spell casters where one wears the crown and the prize for the rest is death.

Author Note: This is a standalone fantasy romance that contains a dark romance with slow-burn morally gray soulmates, forced proximity, epic found family, and spice.

I'm a big fan of LJ. I love her immersive world building and Viking themes! This book had a more laid back, mellow vibe than her other stories. I loved the humor and inclusion of the mortal realm. I actually laughed out loud quite a few times with the banter and how our band of mages handled mortal technology. Cyland was an absolute scene stealer. Overall, I thought it was a great, chill and amusing romantasy tale!

From the very first chapter, I knew that I would love this book. And she did not disappoint. What a wonderful, standalone, romantasy series. Complete with world building, faded mates, slow burn, and a few twists and turns along the way. When I tell you I cried through the last half of this book, I wept! LJA writes the highs and lows of life so well. This is a must read for fans of SJM, Stacia Stark or any other LJA series.

What a refreshing standalone fantasy. This book was really unique as it incorporated modern time in our world with the magical world of Terrea. I loved how comical the writing was as Adira thought she was in a wild dream during the first part of this book. It slowed a little toward the end for me, but overall this was still really good. Kage & Adira were easy characters to love, and the secondary characters were great as well. An awesome adventure from start to finish.

I love this author, truly. I have read every other book from her and loved them. This one didn’t do it for me and I’m not excited to leave a less than stellar review. I think this is a really compelling premise and I love how LJ can write a morally grey character, see Erik Bloodsinger or Valen Ferus. There was so much tension in the Ever King, it was beautifully written.

This book, however, was really choppy. The base for the characters was great and I think if it was a full series or even a duet it would have been perfect. This is a super complicated world and magic system that needed more explanation and time to unfold. Having an epic love story like Adira and Kage, being ripped apart and tossed into different lives with no memories makes for a really layered past and romance. I think too many things couldn’t have been explored properly in the allotted standalone and it left the book feeling really rushed.

I also had a problem with continuity. It seemed like a character was in one place doing something and was suddenly somewhere else. It was hard to follow and I found it too easy to put down.

I write this review to be constructive and also point people who haven’t read anything from this author to her other books. The Ever King is a spinoff from the Broken Kingdoms series, I really suggest reading the main series first. It was amazing and I always recommend those to fantasy readers.

Fabulous!! A wondrous emotional wreck that I devoured from start to finish.
I don’t even know where to start with this one. It was so, so, so good!

The world and the different Magicks were awesome! I loved how there were different specialties and uniqueness to the Magicks the mages had. I enjoyed the collective shared world as well.

Wildling and Thief, oh what another epic couple right up there with Serpent and Songbird.
Adira(Wildling) was fierce and not to mess with. I loved her determination and sass. I really enjoyed how she was just as protective and possessive as Kage (Thief) was.
Kage was the perfect broody morally grey sexy hero. He was mysterious and grumpy and full of secrets. I don’t want to giveaway too much but trust me you’ll love him ;)

Together they were fiery! They were full of banter, steam, and of course undeniable love.

Now, if you really need more reasons to read then check out these tropes:

- second chances
- Morally grey characters
- Fierce FMC
- Roguish Prince MMC
- Touch him or her and ☠️
- Epic battles
- Unique Magicks
- Found Family
- Lost memories
- Spice
- Slow burn
- Forced proximity
- Hurt/comfort

i enjoyed this book, only read this one know nothing about the others. after i finished the broken kingdoms and the Ever king and Queen(still waiting for the 3rd to come out) so it's safe to say that i'm pretty used to this author's writing style and a few of her patterns. the book was entertaining,easy to read and fast pace
enemies to lovers so it hit the target for me ,just the right amount of magic, romance and battle so if this is your style i'm pretty sure you'll like it as well
happy reading!

L.J. Andrews has become an instant buy author for me there hasn’t been a single book that she has written that I haven’t loved. What I love the most is how beautifully written each book is, they are engaging, intriguing, have swoon worthy romances, interesting characters and exceptional storylines.

Of Mischief and Mages is a standalone book in the Forgotten Kingdoms series by different authors and while there are some connections between them you can read each book separately.

From the first page I was instantly pulled in. Set in modern day for the beginning and then moves into a fantasy world. The world building was perfect, both main characters and side characters were great which is something I always love about LJ’s books is the way she can write such interesting and gripping characters added in with such good banter.

I loved the plot and the mystery behind the events that Adira finds herself in. The romance between her and Kage was so good! I am such a fan of the way the mmcs are written in any of LJ’s books she writes the morally grey love interests so well and Kage is just perfect!

For a standalone this literally has everything you could possibly want in a romance fantasy, fated mates, forced proximity, found family, forbidden love, spice, great plot, easy to understand worldbuilding and unique magic system. Highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars It’s a interesting world

Oh!! From where to start?? I am amazed by how this story took off and how it has moved around the world. Once they were on earth and in the next second it all went to some other realm. The entire concept was refreshing with lots of questions and new emotions in every chapter. There was so much to explore about this story, world-building, and the characters. Nothing was easy.

First, the writing is good and everything is addressed in time. The story is neither show nor fast, it has a pace of its own where the world is developed and the plot is explained deeply with all the factors and terms used for mages, what they are suffering from, and how they are waiting for their Blood Sacrifice to return and make everything right.

It was a slow process of getting to what actions were needed, but once it got there, it went like firecrackers. It blew up pretty fast giving all the answers and getting up to the happy ending with the roller coaster ride. The dual POV gave a beautiful insight into the story and kept everything on track. Adira and Kage are such mesmerising characters that I want more of them. This story made me add the other related stories to my TBR too.

It’s a 4.25⭐️ for me.

Reviewed in Australia on March 20, 2024

Honestly, these are one of my favourite types of stories. The ones where their love transcends time and space. Where they lose each other in one lifetime only to find each other again in another. Reincarnated love stories, in other words. This is my first book by this author, but she sucked me in with a reel, and I was hooked. Definitely be reading more from her.

Adira had spent her life in the system, abandoned at birth, she'd learned to fend for herself and do what she could to survive. Sent to Las Vegas to track down a goon for her boss she never imagined her latest job would change her life forever. When Adira is pushed through the veil, she finds herself in a world not yet touched by modern times. Prophesied to return home Adira is who the kingdom suspects is the last living blood mage who sacrificed herself 50 years ago to save their kingdom. The only problem is that a curse ravages their lands, stealing everyone's memories from before that day. She remembers no one or anything of this world despite the fact that her hands bear the marks of being tied to another. But she is drawn to the thieving prince. They try to fight their attraction, but it's no use when they feel so familiar to one another. But the degeneration eats away at Kage, and it's only a matter of time before he turns dark and is lost forever. There is a way to find answers at a well, but Kages brother and future king seems hellbent on keeping Adira away from Kage.
They'll have to work in secret and find out the truths hidden in order to restore their memories and the land to its original state.

Definitely Recommend Reading 📚

Compliment sandwich time.

I really liked the found family aspect in this story. It feels genuine and unforced. Many of the pitfalls of YA and memory fog are avoided by maintaining the FMCs self sufficient nature and capable skillset. No 'he taught her how to fight in their spare time and now she's as skilled as a battle made 300 years her senior'. She has power and authority because she's earned it.

I would not fully agree that they are stand-alone stories though. There is much to be gained from reading all the stories in the order released.

This book in particular suffers from a late chapter dedicated entirely to closing plot holes using a sudden appearance of a character who knows both all the answers possible but has memory loss for the plot holes that really can't be answered, one of which is just glaringly ignored. Making the HEE feel forced and unjustified.

The MMC is a multifaceted character who has flaws that aren't relyant on a typical male inability to have feelings other than anger, lust, or drunken happiness. His relationships feel real, and are built out of interactions the author carefully wove in, rather than 'knowing glances' or allusions to past revelry.

I think readers would benefit from an additional 100 to 150 pages to flush out more of the answers and questions this complex story weaves together.
