Magic and Mayhem

by Sylvia Day, Cathryn Fox

A lighthearted, fun Halloween anthology featuring two intertwined stories from New York Times bestselling authors Sylvia Day and Cathryn Fox!

Magic: When good witch Brianna James uses her magic and writes a sexy, forbidden love spell on her thirty-first birthday, on the thirty-first day of October during a full moon, and conjures up a roguish, bad boy warlock, she has no idea that she'll experience a passion so deep and so intense it will forever turn her good girl days into bad girl nights. But, when that spell lands in the wrong hands, be prepared for a little mayhem...

Mayhem: When Abigail Garvey steps into Conjure, the local magic shop, all she's looking for are a few props to round out her fortune teller Halloween costume. Abby isn't looking for a love spell that turns her drop-dead gorgeous but long-oblivious neighbor into an aggressive alpha sex machine. Sure his single-minded pursuit (and follow-through!) is the stuff her wickedest fantasies are made of, but how much of it is the real deal? And how much of it is just a little magical mayhem?

amazing short read!

Wow—what an amazing short read! Magic and Mayhem was such a fun and entertaining story from start to finish. The humor really stood out, and it made the whole experience feel light and enjoyable.

The characters were especially memorable—each one brought something unique, and their interactions kept things engaging the entire time. There’s also a nice touch of spice woven into the story, which adds an extra layer of excitement without overwhelming the plot.

My only complaint? I genuinely wish it had been longer. I was so invested in the characters and the world that I wasn’t ready for it to end. I definitely wanted more!

Overall, this is a quick, funny, and captivating read that leaves you wishing for just a little bit extra.

I actually really enjoyed these 2 small Halloween romance stories. I just wish they were longer or that they each would get a real full book. If there’re any more written then I’ll definitely follow up on those.

I have enjoyed all the Sylvia Day books I have read. And for me, I love the witchy. A fun read. Written by two authors; two different stories, overlap.

Quick, fun sexy magical read.

[Gabriella Cascio · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love how short the story was and how it was written by two authors but flowed so easily. I loved how spicy yet magical it was, but overall, it was a little too predictable and unbelievable.

If you are in a mood from a whimsical, light read. You need to buy this one. It is sweet with a little magic and a lot of sex. Sylvia Fay, thank you for sharing

[Patrice · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a steamy, hot, romp in the hay type of story that happens to fall on Halloween. Well written and NOT over the top, it hit all the right notes.

Halloween magic and love

A fun read with two magical love stories intertwined. Abby and Brianna both find the men of their fantasies. Love this series.

3.5
I finished reading Magic and Mayhem during a full moon, a blue moon. Though these two stories were too short, they still provided a mystical read, especially during Halloween. I’m hoping there’s more. I want to know Sarah’s story, too. And who’s going to be her “stamina of four.”

Fun overlapping short stories

[Jo · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't bother reading much of this book, the bit I did read was badly written porn, with a laughable story line. Next time I'll take note of write ups....

Nice short stories. Love the way they blend the two stories in one book.

Loved both stories!

[Kathryn Parry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two romantic tales beautifully told but don't expect much erotica in the stories...
