“Did I see anything unusual?” I repeated blankly. “Tori.” Clara’s panicked tone drew my attention back to her as Kai and Aaron continued to argue. Your plans always end in fireballs and explosions.”įireballs? Explosions? I glanced at them as Aaron snapped, “What’s wrong with that?” “We’re not doing this your way-not again. “Get over yourself, Aaron.” Kai’s angry voice rose over Clara’s.

You weren’t scared of anyone-not even Aaron! I thought you were some badass mythic who wanted to bartend, but you-” “How did you even find out about this place? I never should have-but you were perfect. I’m twenty-one, old enough to bartend, and-” “Clara,” I said, alarmed and confused in equal measure. Why didn’t I check your ID last night? I’m an idiot.” “Beg your pardon?”Ĭlara dropped my ID on the bar and hid her face behind her hands. Rubbed one ear like I might have misheard. “Registered for what? Clara, I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.” “Why doesn’t your license have a mythic identification number? You’re registered, aren’t you?” “No, your mythic class!” She shoved my card under my nose, even more frantic. “Your class, what is it?” “You mean at the community college? I’m taking-” She pressed her hands to the bar top, eyes wide. When I gazed vacantly at her, Clara visibly paled. It’s 100% fun, sassy, fast-paced urban fantasy. Note: The three mages are definitely sexy, but this series isn’t a reverse harem. So what’s a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course-with a pay raise. Either I’m exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there’s a good reason no one else wants to work here. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. That’s the definition of fitting in, right? Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back.

It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview-to see if I’d mesh with their “special” clientele. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.

Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired.
