A Shifter's Wild Magic

Witches & Demons #3

by Amanda Casey

She's a vet witch.
He's a demon shifter with three wild shadow beasts.
Will an ancient ritual involving the elements pair them as mates, or will fate decide differently?

Victoria Crow hasn't gone on a hot date in almost a year. The witch has survived breast cancer, but she’s too busy for a serious relationship. She overworks herself taking care of familiars at her popular vet clinic. One fateful day, she brings her lucky Wild Card to work, only to find an equally wild demon in need of her magic.

Dezmond Ravenblood is a demon shifter with a multi-shadow beast personality. The beasts have tried for centuries to help him find a mate. Getting injured on the job only makes them angry. The only witch in Midhaven who can patch him up is hot, curvy, and magically single. She also happens to own a dragon egg.

When the dragon egg hatches, Victoria and Dezmond are thrown into an ancient magical ritual, one that will bond them as mates. To form a lasting bond, they will need more than luck if they are to master the elements. As Victoria faces her fears of having her cancer return, Dezmond battles a new shadow beast who threatens to claim her as his own. Will the witch and the demon end up as mates, or will the wild magic they discover transform them?

A huge thank you to the author for allowing me to be a beta reader. 4 stars, 3.5/5 spicy

This was a good ending to the trilogy of sisters' stories. Victoria is the oldest sister and has such a tragic backstory. She is a true survivor and I was so excited to read her story! She deserved love! Enter in the youngest Demon brother, Dezmond! God the perfect book boyfriend to read about Valentines day! He was sweet, caring and passionate about his lady! He is also a shifter with 3 beast forms! Their love story was fast paced and the plot was fiery (dragons duh!) but it was still a good way to end the series while keeping me intrigued to see if there is any spin offs in the future.
I will be buying a release copy and rereading this in the summer.

I was a beta reader for this and am reviewing voluntarily.

I loved this book. It was just as fun as the other 2 in the series (but you could also read just this book and be ok!). 1 thing I actually liked about this book more than the others was the illness representation. I have chronic health issues so some of what Victoria goes through I can relate to and I actually found it pretty healing.

Just like the other stories, it has fun spice and WOW is this one spicy. This one is even more monster spice than the others. Like definitely check tropes and trigger warnings if you're not into that.

I loved seeing the usual favorites plus some amazing new characters. Any book with sassy fantasy creatures is already one I want to check out and this book was definitely full of them.

This was a wonderful wrap up to the stories of the Ravenblood brothers and Crow sisters. An absolute perfect read for spooky season or year round (I mean I read this in January)!!

I loved the series but this one is my favorite. Amanda’s writing gets better and better! The story flows beautifully with intriguing spicy content. All of it easily imaginable 😉 I’d love to write more, but I don’t want to spoil it! The only other thing I could add is that it kept me guessing!

I was honored to be able to be an ARC reader for this book! Everything about it was totally up my alley! I had not read the first 2 books and I def want to but it’s def not a necessity to understand the book. I’m giving it a 3.5/5. This book was NOT at all what I was expecting! The first part of the book was what I was expecting, but then more and more interesting different things started happening. The imagery and imagination the author has is phenomenal! There’s so much going on! Which was good and bad. And while it is spicy it’s also like a paranormal mystery. I def kept me up reading late bc I wanted to know what was happening. And I thought that a lot. The story line was very intriguing but confusing.
I LOVED that there was a plus size witch and dragons! This book also goes back and forth from FMC to MMC POV.
The main reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars was 2 reasons. 1. Because towards the end it seemed like it was rushed from point to point. It got very confusing and almost like it was rushed to be finished. Having a short read is nice but I needed more explanation. And 2. Crazy things would happen and the characters were just like ok let’s go about our day planning a wedding and working like that didn’t just happen. I found that a lil odd bc I’m over hear like wait what!! It was confusing.
That part of the book the twists and turns was very exciting! It’s a short fun read. Almost like a paranormal spicy hallmark book. Spice level was def 4/5 bc well… shifters is all I’m gonna say. I have def never read a book like this before! It was def enough to make me want to read the first two! And I would recommend it if you enjoy paranormal romantasy, mystery, dragons, shifters, witches and want a shorter read

Review of Advanced Copy received from Author


This book felt like wrapping yourself in enchanted velvet while a dragon circled overhead and a shadow beast growled in the distance. 🐉✨

A Shifter’s Wild Magic completely stole my heart. Victoria is the kind of FMC I instantly rooted for. She’s strong without pretending she’s invincible, and her journey after surviving breast cancer added such a raw, emotional layer to the story. Watching her balance fear, healing, magic, and love made her feel incredibly real.

And Dezmond? Absolutely feral in the best way. A demon shifter with multiple shadow beasts living inside him sounds chaotic already, but somehow he manages to be protective, intense, and secretly soft all at once. The chemistry between him and Victoria had sparks flying from page one. Their banter, tension, and emotional connection created the perfect paranormal romance storm. 🌑🔥

The world-building was wildly addictive too. Vet witch heroine? Dragon egg? Ancient elemental mating ritual? Shadow beasts? This book tossed magical ingredients into a cauldron and somehow brewed pure gold.

What I loved most was how the romance never overshadowed the emotional depth. Victoria’s fears about her health and future were handled with care, while the magical bond storyline kept the stakes high and deliciously addictive.

If you love:
✨ Fated mates
✨ Paranormal romance
✨ Protective demon MMCs
✨ Strong curvy heroines
✨ Magic + danger + emotional healing
✨ Dragon eggs and shadow creatures

…then this book deserves a spot at the top of your TBR immediately. I devoured every page like a cursed little goblin guarding treasure. 🖤

Have you ever picked up a book thinking it was going to be a fun paranormal romance, only for it to completely pull you into a world full of magic, emotion, chaos, and characters you can’t stop thinking about? Because that’s exactly what A Shifter’s Wild Magic did to me.

This book had everything I love, witches, demons, shifters, magical creatures, and a romance that felt both sweet and wildly intense at the same time. Dezmond instantly stole my attention with his chaotic energy and protective side, while Victoria felt so real and relatable. Her struggles with cancer, body image, and loneliness added so much depth to the story and made me connect with her on an emotional level.

The chemistry between these two was amazing from the start. Their banter had me smiling, but the emotional moments hit just as hard. I also loved how unique the world felt with the magical vet clinic, shadow beasts, and the mystery surrounding the strange egg. It kept me wanting to know more every chapter.

Amanda Casey created a story that feels cozy, emotional, magical, and spicy all at once. I honestly didn’t want to leave this world by the end. If you love paranormal romance with heart, humor, wounded characters, and a touch of chaos, this one is definitely worth reading.

It was a privilege to ARC read this book. A Shifter’s Wild Magic was an enjoyable paranormal romance based in an interesting magical world. It has supernatural elements, and a good mix of romance and action. It’s a creative story filled with witches, demon shifters, shadow beasts, and elemental magic that definitely stood out from other books I’ve read recently.
Victoria (main character) is likeable and I appreciated the emotional depth added through her personal struggles. Dezmond’s character and the chaotic shadow beasts added some fun and intensity to the story, and the magical bond between them kept things interesting.
I think my rating mostly comes down to personal reading taste at the moment. I’ve been reading slightly different genres lately, so it took me a little time to fully connect with the paranormal and fantasy-heavy aspects of the story. That said, fans of shifter romances, magic-filled worlds, and fated mate dynamics will probably enjoy this much more than I did.

I absolutely loved returning to this world and finally getting to watch the last Crowe and Ravensblood siblings fall in love. Victoria and Dezmond were such a fun couple to follow. I loved watching Victoria battle monsters while slowly falling for her shadow-wielding demon shifter. Their chemistry was emotional, magical, and genuinely entertaining.

Zed was such a treat throughout this book. Watching him learn his own lessons while also being an absolute treasure to Victoria made me love him even more. Of course, Torchie became one of my favorite characters, ever. His parents too. Honestly, every familiar and creature in this series has my heart.

I also loved getting to see how Amon and Lucy, along with Krim and Grace, are doing in their relationships. Those little updates made me so so happy. I’m really hoping we eventually get more about Cindy and Eugene and maybe even their twin siblings, too.

This book balanced humor, romance, magic, and emotional moments really well. Overall, this was such a fun and heartfelt read, and I’m definitely not ready to leave this world behind.

Thank you, Amanda Casey and Bookfunnel, for an eARC copy of this wonderful story.

Victoria freaking Crow is nothing short of a badass! She kicked cancer’s ass and now she has her very own demon shifter who wants nothing more than to worship her with his tongue. Ladies this demon shifter Desmond likes to eat and please his vet witch with his shadows however she sees fit to let him!

I was tickled pink to see my favorite grumpy side character from book 1- Grubs! I missed him, he lives rent free in my head!

You will laugh out loud while reading A Shifter’s Wild Magic but beware you will need a tissue when things get dark late in the book. Don’t worry there is no 3rd act breakup just heavy topics!

Thank you so much to Amanda Casey for having me back on the ARC team for book 3, it was amazing! I recommend this book to all my demon loving, romcom reading book friends!

Thank you for allowing me to be an ARC reader!

I have not read the first 2 books in this series but this book sounded really cool.
I loved the world. I thought it was unique with the demons having shadow beast.
It just fell kinda flat for me with how everything played out. Everything felt rushed and I had a hard time really imagining how scenes were playing out.

I liked all the characters. The couples were great together and there was good spice.

[Stephanie Fry · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am so glad I finally got to read Victoria’s story! Out of the 3 sisters she has truly survived so much, cancer, divorce, I was glad she finally found a great partner! Who turned out to have 3 shifter forms to boot. ;) Spice was a 3/5. It’s not often I pick up a book and can’t put it down, but each of the books in this series has been so so good and un-put-down-able! :)

I received an ARC from the author, thank you so much!

[Leah Ivey · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you’re looking for a book that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go, this is it. We follow a badass vet witch with a sharp tongue and even sharper magic, paired with her demon shifter boyfriend who’s equal parts trouble and heart. Toss in dragons, high-stakes action, and just the right amount of spice, and you’ve got a recipe for “one more chapter” at 2:00 am.
Fun, fierce, and phenomenal. I couldn’t put it down.

[Jillian Hawthorne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first book by Amanda Casey and I LOVED IT. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy and flew through it in less than a day. Victoria is such a fun character and easy to connect with and Dezmond was easily one of my favorite MMCs of the year! I loved that the romance was there but so was the plot. I thought the pacing was good and everything wrapped up nicely at the end without feeling rushed! Overall 10/10 cute and cozy read!!

[Lynn Hicks · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this ARC it was a very easy read, witches, demons plus a whole bunch of witches familiars. A witchy vet FMC and a demon shifter MMC that are fated mates and the FMC has battled her monster cancer once and she worries that it has come back. But conquering her shadow demon she helps a dragon family, A wonderfully written and a wonderful palate cleanser. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Jilly · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun paranormal romance. It's a fast paced romance about a strong warrior of a witch and a demon shifter. It was a quick read with some spice 🌶️.5 though my spice tolerance is high 🤭 so this may be spicier for others.

[iesha Bright · Rating 4 out of 5]

i really enjoyed returning to this world and witnessing the final love story happen. super fun paranormal romance. the fmc was such a bada$$ and lets not forget her demon shifter....

[Hannah Rhoades · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved how the author mixed witches, demons, dragons, and magic all together. The fact that she included a plus-size fmc made it more relatable. The spice level was just right mixed with the banter and story. I would definitely recommend.

[Natasha Archer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky to get this as an ARC read. It has everything to you need for someone who loves witches, demons, shifters with the side of spice. I couldn’t put it down this is my kind of book.

[April Day · Rating 3 out of 5]

A Shifter’s Wild Magic was still an enjoyable read for me, but it didn’t land quite as strongly as the first two books in the series. I actually related to Victoria quite a bit, so I expected to connect more deeply with the story overall. Instead, parts of the plot and worldbuilding felt like they were reaching for something unique without fully coming together for me personally. The spice still delivered (Amanda Casey definitely knows how to write those scenes), but this installment felt a little flatter in comparison to the emotional pull and chemistry I felt in the earlier books. Still a fun paranormal romance series overall, especially for readers looking for very spicy fantasy romance with interconnected characters.
