Amanda White,
Whew!! Now that was a fun ride! This book had everything you could have asked for - action, humour, emotion, and a hot druid ;-)I really like reading this series from Kits POV。 His mind moves at warp speed (you can see what I didn’t here ;-)) and it’s interesting to see the world as he does。 He is such a joker most of the time, but I feel like in this book he gained so much depth and a new level of maturity and understanding。 There was just so much character development that occurred in the stor Whew!!

In this third instalment of Warped, we're gifted with the same humour and similar save-the-day plot。 But a certain someone made it ten times better。 That's right。 Our favourite Ghost - as you would've guessed by the title - makes a special guest appearance ;) As with the previous books, I absolutely loved Kit's hilarious commentary。 I found myself laughing to myself like a weirdo on my bed past midnight every time he cracked a funny joke (thankfully I didn't wake anyone up)。The story is once aga In this third instalment of Warped, we're gifted with the same humour and similar save-the-day plot。 But a certain someone made it ten times better。 That's right。 Our favourite Ghost - as you would've guessed by the title - makes a special guest appearance ;) As with the previous books, I absolutely loved Kit's hilarious commentary。 I found myself laughing to myself like a weirdo on my bed past midnight every time he cracked a funny joke (thankfully I didn't wake anyone up)。The story is once again fast-paced and action-packed。 Kit and Lienna are on the hunt for a kidnapper。 It gets very interesting, especially once the Ghost is thrown into the mix and with him, some questionable morals about breaking laws/rules。 😨What I enjoyed about this book was how everything wasn't clear-cut。 It wasn't simple。 Nothing was black and white。 Kit had to make some tough choices。 He and Lienna had to learn the hard way what teamwork truly involved。 I felt like I was a part of the story with them, anxiously wondering how they would solve the case。 And of course, Kit's unique ability to warp minds was a👏ma👏zing👏 as usual。 I definitely wouldn't want him as an enemy ;) An extra added bonus were some tie-ins with the other series, which I think fans of the other Guild Codex series will enjoy。Now keenly awaiting the next book because I can't get enough of Kit and Lienna in my life <3 ALSO ZAK'S BOOK IS NEXT MONTH。 MY HEART。(I was given an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review) 。。。more
Penny,
This is the third book in this series by Annette Marie and her writing partner Rob Jacobsen。 The first thing I have to say is I didn’t think it could get better and I was so wrong。 First off, I love how much Kit is growing as a character。 He comes to some interesting realizations about himself and his power that will hopefully empower him in the future。 Next, I just adored his almost-crush on a surprise ally; it was just so cute。 Add to that, we get to see glimpses of characters from other serie This is the third book in this series by Annette Marie and her writing partner Rob Jacobsen。 The first thing I have to say is I didn’t think it could get better and I was so wrong。 First off, I love how much Kit is growing as a character。 He comes to some interesting realizations about himself and his power that will hopefully empower him in the future。 Next, I just adored his almost-crush on a surprise ally; it was just so cute。 Add to that, we get to see glimpses of characters from other series while they intertwine their plots, making a complex and fascinating plot。 This was the best book so far in the series (it’s very Gouda!

Ro El,
Go read this book!I am usually a "four stars for very good, five for incredible" person, and this has earned my five stars。This tipped over from 4 to 5 largely because I found this a story I wasn't able to guess ahead about until it was about to wrap up。 (I have read a LOT of books。 I value world building, emotional depth and development, and being surprised。) The book starts with ACTION。 CHASE SCENE。 Followed by MYSTERIOUS ASSIGNMENT。 SUSPENSE。 CHASE。 ACTION。 SUSPENSE。 For a large part of this Go read this book!I am usually a "four stars for very good, five for incredible" person, and this has earned my five stars。This tipped over from 4 to 5 largely because I found this a story I wasn't able to guess ahead about until it was about to wrap up。 (I have read a LOT of books。 I value world building, emotional depth and development, and being surprised。) The book starts with ACTION。 CHASE SCENE。 Followed by MYSTERIOUS ASSIGNMENT。 SUSPENSE。 CHASE。 ACTION。 SUSPENSE。 For a large part of this book, I felt a bit left in the dark (which is an unintentional wordplay on the kind of magic we see a lot in this story) and had to take some breaks to deal with the suspense。 There are a TON of zingers, really interesting character development, and answers to some questions we have had for all of the Guild Codex books。 I probably highlighted more in this book than any previous in this series。 (Alright, everyone else has mentioned Zak, the Ghost, being an integral part of the story, so I am allowed to mention him as well。) This is a good teaser for Zak's coming spin-off, really digging in and reminding us of his quirks and essential character traits, seen from a completely different angle。 In some ways, Zak is a lot like Kit, but through a dark mirror。 Kit is really impressed by Zak, and mentally narrates him a bit like a superhero。 There's a personal growth arc in these books for Kit as well as magical growth ---which I am really enjoying。 Tori (the main/stem Guild codex character) and Robin (Demonized main character) changed but not as much, and kind of as the plot needed it。 Kit's development is really an intrinsic part of these books, magically and personally。 He is also kind of inherently a (morally) unreliable narrator because he is the one manipulating others' experiences instead of living it, and we go along with his decisions in the urgency of the moment。 A zinger example that spoils nothing:"How did he get here so fast?" "Magic" I suggested。 That wasn't a joke because, you know, he was very magical。 。。。more

Annette and Rob come through with another fantastically written story featuring Kit Morris, psycho warper and his partner Agent Shen。 Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants is the third installment of the Warping Minds series and does an impressive job of weaving past story lines in the Guild Codex universe and (one of my favorite parts) dropping teeny tiny SIGNIFICAT little bombs of knowledge that we have all been dying to know。 We meet some of the most loved characters from all the GC series and see Annette and Rob come through with another fantastically written story featuring Kit Morris, psycho warper and his partner Agent Shen。 Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants is the third installment of the Warping Minds series and does an impressive job of weaving past story lines in the Guild Codex universe and (one of my favorite parts) dropping teeny tiny SIGNIFICAT little bombs of knowledge that we have all been dying to know。 We meet some of the most loved characters from all the GC series and see them in a completely different light。 And fall in love with them even more!Kit and Lienna's new case hits close to home and Kit is willing to do whatever it takes to solve it。 The story takes off from the very first chapter and had me at the edge of my seat。 Kit does some major reflecting as his moral compass is questioned and his character growth is both impressive and believable。 As is trademark for Annette, the romance is sizzling and slow burn in which Kit and Lienna really learn to communicate and build a friendship that supports the chemistry between them。。。 and keep the readers coming back for more!The die hard fans of Annette Marie will love this book if only for the little cookie crumbles given to us through out the whole story。 It is a riot from the beginning to the end。 We can count on Kit to have a quick pop culture reference for every situation and being in his head is refreshing。 I absolutely cannot wait for the fourth installment! 。。。more
Carley Morton,
I really liked this addition to Kit’s story。 You really get to know Kit, more of what he’s thinking and how he works。 Of course, he is witty as ever and this book had me cackling。 We get to see more of his serious side as well and it really shows how he works。 My favorite part though? Kit’s giant crush on Zak。 I love it so much。
Marley,
I devoured this little gem。 I just love Kit and Lienna but you add some Zak… oh my goodness I need to drool a little bit with Kit😂 Kit is by far the ever growing character I think we’ve seen so far in this universe。 Rob and Annette did a fantastic job with this installment。 Kit is a man of many talents and he doesn’t fail to be the man needed to get the job done。 I love seeing scenes from previous series in their perspective。 I really hope we get another Kit and Zak book!

The continuity is fabulous! I wondered how some charaters met now i have the answers and simply i want to rearead the rest to see what little hints i could have missed that's great!!!But let's focus on this great story first: There are a lot of action, investigation and suspense but also a good dosis of Humour all wonderfully mixed。 Kit an Lienna are charged to find missing teenagers and other people while staying out of the book per Blythe orders or to be more exact those orders are to apprehend the Ghost, famous rogue, who is behind those kidnapping in Blythe's opinion。。。。We do see Kit personnality showing more, he is douting his abilities but with Zak's help as well as Lienna's he is starting to get more mature realising that brute force is not his things but he definitively must be taken seriously。。。。。。he also starts deciding what is better for him and what limites he accepts。 We do learn about his past as well or more exactly we see how it is affecting him。 I loved his evolution from the beginning of the series but also during this investigation。Lienna is a good Mdp but too strict in my opinion thankfully we learned the reason for that so we can understand her better but sometimes she simply disappointed me。。。ZAK oh Zak i absolutely love his his style , he is in gray zone for sure but he does have his own moral and code of honor。。。can't wait to seem him shake Lienna a bit moreThe one i hated and still do is captain Blythe。。。。。。。。。。really i can't stand herI really but really love this universes as a whole and this series it deserves to be discovered and i can't recommend it more to urban fantasy lovers it's a real must read 。。。more

This book was exciting in a ways the previous two Warped stories were not - and for me, I think that’s because we got to see a whole lot more of everyone’s fave Crystal Druid, Zak/Ghost, in this one!

Kit's quips continue to give me life。 But what giveth, can also taketh。 In Rogue Ghosts, we get a peek at some action gaps between pivotal moments in the Guild Codex series。 Their world continues to expand, contract and change with every novel and every new narrator in the most complex and incredible ways。 The slow burn but fast paced adventure never fails to capture all my attention and at least twice in every Kit book, I find myself gaping with shock。 You'd think I'd be immune by now。 Incredib Kit's quips continue to give me life。 But what giveth, can also taketh。 In Rogue Ghosts, we get a peek at some action gaps between pivotal moments in the Guild Codex series。 Their world continues to expand, contract and change with every novel and every new narrator in the most complex and incredible ways。 The slow burn but fast paced adventure never fails to capture all my attention and at least twice in every Kit book, I find myself gaping with shock。 You'd think I'd be immune by now。 Incredible novel, adrenaline rush of a plot and 5 star cheese puns。 。。。more

This book came out right when I needed a good escape and it absolutely delivered。 Kit is still his adorable, irreverent, sweet self, and I loved the depth of character he got in this one。 It went a little dark sometimes, but there was always perfect counterpoint to balance, and the character interactions were wonderful。 I love the way Annette and Rob write Kit (and the way Annette writes for the other Guild Codex books)。 I often have trouble reading books with a male lead, but I don’t with these This book came out right when I needed a good escape and it absolutely delivered。 Kit is still his adorable, irreverent, sweet self, and I loved the depth of character he got in this one。 It went a little dark sometimes, but there was always perfect counterpoint to balance, and the character interactions were wonderful。 I love the way Annette and Rob write Kit (and the way Annette writes for the other Guild Codex books)。 I often have trouble reading books with a male lead, but I don’t with these at all。 I did miss Lienna a bit as far as character growth, but she had a big focus in the last one。 So, the balance is good。 The world is immersive and there is a good blend of refences to other Codex world events to place it in the timeline and other odd happenings to puzzle over。 What is happening with Vinny and his shorts?!? What the heck is going on in MagiPol?!? Kit rolls with life’s punches fairly well, but I hope Lienna can handle all of this outside the rules work she keeps getting thrown。Overall, a wonderful book。 I’m sure I’ll read it a few times before the next one comes out。 。。。more

Seriously, if you like hilarious Urban Fantasy, characters you want to hang out with, and losing precious hours of sleep, give this series a chance。 You won’t regret it! Some of my favorite quotes: “You’ve got the accuracy of a drunken mosquito in a hurricane。”Best case scenario, something dastardly was afoot。 Worst case scenario, I got falafels。 “Short, bald, glasses。 Looks like a Muppet。”“Does he look like a Corey Feldman Minecraft avatar?”My pretend crush on his unholy, broody hunkiness might’ve just shifted closer to reality。 They were about two seconds away from an explosive magical melee in the middle of a public parking garage, which would be less than ideal for a whole host of reasons, not the least of which being that Zak would end our mortal existence and I didn’t want to die next to a 1994 maroon Hyundai。 Preaching to the choir, bud。 But she’s got a serious hate-boner for him, so we’re about two minutes away from SWAT-teaming through his front door。”“It looks like someone crossbred an anglerfish with Godzilla and raised the offspring in a meth lab。” 。。。more

Annette is the queen of a slow burn, and it's great to see it from a man's POV。 Also, we see a ton of Zak in this book!
