Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. Mystery. The first rule of a supernatural fight club? Don't kill your opponent. When the fighters come with lethal spells, werewolf strength, and half-demon powers, that can be a lot tougher than it sounds. It's hard to attract talent if they know they might not leave the ring alive. So when fighters at a California club start dying, it's bad for business. Witch detectives Paige Winterbourne and Savannah Levine take the case. Going undercover in the power-heavy arena of the fight club is a welcome change of pace for Paige, relegated to the role of The Wife as her husband struggles to find his place in his family's Cabal-the corporate Mafia of the supernatural world. As Paige is drawn deeper into new and dangerous corners of her world, she quickly discovers the greatest threat isn't the killer in her sights. It's something much, much closer to home. And this is one fight she can't afford to lose.… (mehr)

First rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club.

I love that Savannah is willing to volunteer to fight in the fight club to try and solve the mystery. Paige and Lucas are two of my favorite characters in the Otherworld Stories series and picking up this novella was like heading out for coffee with friends you haven't seen in years.

Now I have to try and find more of the novellas and catch up with more of my old friends. ( )

I picked this novella as a way of getting back into the "Women Of Otherworld" series. I read the first half a dozen novels in the series very close together and then got distracted.

"Counterfeit Magic" is a fun story with murders, supernatural fight clubs, family intrigue and some quite witty dialogue.

If you haven't read the other books about Paige Winterbourne: "Dime Store Magic", "Industrial Magic" or at least, "Stolen" then this novella is going to be as confusing as starting "Game Of Thrones" at Season 2, Episode 5 (only without the violence and the sex).

For the fans, this is an opportunity to see Savannah all grown up (well, at least Savannah at twenty-one) and going undercover in a supernatural fight club and to see Paige struggle with keeping her identity when the powerful around her keep seeing her as an important man's wife rather than an person with power of her own.

It's an entertaining read and, even though Paige is not one of my favourite characters (too goody goody and middle class) it was enough to make we want to continue with the series. ( )

Someone is messing with Paige and Lucas trying to break them up. Also get a little peek at Adam and Paige. ( )

Paige & Savannah take a case investigating a supernatural fight club where fighters keep dying. Could it be natural causes or is a rival club trying to close down the business?

I enjoyed listing to this novella. It was short. It got exciting at the end. I figured Ava was up to something. ( )
