Hexes and Haberdashery

A Queer Cozy Fantasy Romance

By: Vera Winters

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A demonic pact. A draconic dilemma. A secret that could reshape the realms.

Arkenev is under fire. As the demonic envoy to Luminara, he's hosting the most powerful demons from across the realms as they navigate a crisis. The demons' toehold in the human world has been severed, and Arkenev is desperately hunting for an ancient source powerful enough to reopen it . . . a source only a dragon can provide.

Ivy guards a hoard of secrets. After fleeing an arranged marriage, she's come out as a woman and opened an enchanted hat shop in Luminara, yearning for a quiet life and a chance at true love. But the dark forces of her past are closing in, threatening to unravel everything she's built.

When Arkenev seeks Ivy's help to make the demonic convocation a success, he quickly finds himself entranced by her sweet charms and uniquely human perspective. But as Arkenev's superiors–and Ivy's family–tighten their grip, the unlikely pair must outmaneuver their foes and fight for a chance at happiness. Because Ivy is hiding a secret of draconic proportions–one that could change Luminara forever.

Self Acceptance

A great story about self acceptance and love. I wish there was more depth to the love story of the relationship.

Surprising and very romantic

Love the characters and the the surprises laced within. The beings within this, their backgrounds, and realms are enchanting to say the least.

Ugh, thumbs down.

It was horrible. It took me a few chapters to realize it was written by AI, I thought maybe I just wasn’t paying attention, but no. What a waste.

Confusing story

I wasn’t aware that this was AI voice at first but then multiple mispronounced words, and names pronounced differently from time to time had me confused throughout.
In addition to feeling confused about the narrator, the story was confusing and was either poorly edited or also written by Ai. For example a character gives a point of view in one chapter, then two chapter the later that same character seems to be introduced anew with a different viewpoint. This happens several times causing me to pause and relisten. I hate that as it pulls me out of the story but it also ruins the experience when it’s not because the story is so well written but because of poor editing decisions. I did not enjoy at all.
