A Touch of Fever

Arcane Hearts, Book 1

By: Nazri Noor

Narrated by: Zachary Johnson

What do you do when you can’t cast spells? You make your own magic.

Jackson Pryde was never great at wielding magic. Instead, he works as an artificer, crafting enchanted devices in the Black Market, a shadowy bazaar of wonders. But Xander Wright, the mouthy, pretentious mage next door, hates all the hammering in Jackson’s workshop.

When a chance assignment forces them to team up, they discover a terrifying predicament. Something is driving members of the magical community into murderous rages. Jackson and Xander must combine might and magic to find the source of the Fever and stop it. Can they put aside their differences long enough to end the Fever, or will they succumb to its bloodthirsty curse?

A Touch of Fever is a 73,000-word M/M urban fantasy romance with a happy-for-now ending. Join a fast-talking artificer and a snarky sorcerer, best friends-turned-bitter enemies, as they navigate an adventure filled with strange flora, mythical fauna, and magical murders. If you like your urban fantasy with humor, horror, and a whole lot of heart, you’ve come to the right place. Experience A Touch of Fever today.

A promising start

This is a very interesting spin in the fantasy genre. Jackson Pryde, Xander Wright and the gang are all loveable characters. The world this story sets up is really interesting, and I can't wait to see what the rest of this series has in store for us.

Wonderful!

I usually never hear audiobooks I haven't read in ebook before, but this book really got my attention. The book has everything to make it a perfect reading, a great backstory that includes a mystery to solve, a magical complex plot, wonderful characters and a tangled love story. This is my first Nazri Noor's book and I can assure you it will not be my last, I can't wait for more on this series! Regarding the performance, I enjoyed a lot how Mr Johnson managed the characters and the narration in general. Wonderful!

Nazri Noor does it again.

This is the second book I've listened to by Mr. Noor, and once again, I am enamored of his writing. The characters in A Touch of Fever are fun and the banter between all of them is super amusing. In fact, much of this book amused me, but it also kept me interested and riveted to the story.

Jackson and Xander together are hot enough to blister flesh.

Zachary Johnson does an outstanding job narrating this book.

Interesting world building

Fun characters in an interesting setting. I enjoyed the way this series has characters and settings that cross over into other series by this author. It is packed with action, adventure, romance and mystery. I'm a sucker for childhood friends turned lovers and this ome also had a bit of a rival/enemy to lover twist. Very interesting magic system and loads of fantasy critters. Great narration.

Fantastic

Such a good story full of magic, mayhem, pining, mooning, adventure, fun, and of course love. Fantastic audio performance by Zachary Johnson! Love the way he brings each character to life, such emotion! Great job and I'm looking forward to the next!
