They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I’m learning that lesson the hard way. My name’s Aubry Brooks, and here’s the thing—I’ve got myself a little possession problem.
Yes, I led a séance I had no business leading in the first place. No, I’m not a channeler, but let me explain. I was only trying to help a mother find her missing daughter, and then a cocky half-incubus had the nerve to possess me! You’d think a clairvoyant kitchen witch would have seen this coming.
No need to panic. I can figure out a way to exorcise Damion Blackmon, assuming I can withstand his seduction in the meantime. Oh, and he’s agreed to help me find out who killed my best friend. Deals with devils. I'm not sure if it's my soul or my heart that's at risk.
But don’t worry, my grandma was a voyeur in a past life and she'll catch you up to speed. In extremely graphic detail. A word of warning—do not let my aunt talk you into a juice cleanse. Nothing magic about that, I promise.
Possession by Andrea Hagan Paranormal romance. Aubry is accidentally possessed by Damion in a seance gone wrong. They try numerous methods, Magic and contacts to “get him out” without success. Aubrey is also investigating what happens to a friend that disappeared.
Plenty of humorous situations including his aggressive driving. Plenty of teasing of the erotic nature but that was weird for me. What does she see in the mirror? Just herself. The grandmother was witty and the puns throughout we’re amusing. Well written for a debut.
2.75. This was just ok ...not mind blowing to me. Kind of cute at times, but due to how it's written it's hard to tell who is speaking at times (Damion or Aubrey). I struggled to stay focused with it and didn't even care much about the reveal.
This is a great and funny witch/demon story. Loved the different take this author does with possession. Had me laughing at times with a snarky demon and witch banter. I will be reading the next in the series and must admit a new way of thinking of “self love” If you read this book you will know. I received this book as an ARC for my honest review.
Well in this case, the company is a sexy-ass cambion who has somehow become trapped in Aubry's body. I mean, there has to be worst things to be trapped in your body, right? And this demon, is a tease ... just like this damn book. Ha ha! It finally got really hot at 80% ... but I am getting ahead of myself.
Aubry works in a magic store with her Aunt and grandmother. Her grandmother is an absolute hoot. She is goals. She is who I want to be when I am old. Aubry decides to help a family and lead a séance she probably shouldn't have. Next thing she knows, there's a drop dead gorgeous man in her head. And he can create physical "feeling" - you see where we going here?
Anyway other than her possession "problem" (I really use that term lightly), Aubry is haunted by the death of her best friend, so what ensues is a double agenda - how to get free of Damion, and who the heck killed her best friend. There are lots of sexy side kicks who try to help but could the answer from Aubry's past? You will need to read it to find out.
I enjoyed the ride - its generally feels like a bit of a crazy caper with a wild finale. The pace is a little low and slow, but the ending really ramps up. This is a cosy mystery with a sexy, smutty undertone (I mean, she literally has to touch herself AS Damion when it gets real spicy). Hagan did a great job of the romance line - I mean they are literally in one body ha ha! Honestly, just a fun read.
Possession is a hilarious paranormal romance of a witch named Aubrey that becomes accidentally possessed by a demon. Not just any demon, one with striking eyes and an ego to boot.
Caught up in trying to solve the murder of her best friend, a date that was more than she bargained for, and trying to get her sexy as sin demon our of her body, Aubrey uses humour and her tarot cards to navigate her path.
The characters are hilarious but also relatable. While most of us don’t have the ability to read tarot cards or summon other paranormal beings in a time of need, I could still relate to the characters and be sucked into their world.
I can’t wait for Obsession to be released and read more for Andrea!
When Aubrey tries to help a mother find her lost daughter, she never believes that she’d find herself unintentionally possessed by a demon. While trying to find a way to return him to his own form and learn the truth behind her best friends death; she is finding herself falling for her demon.
I love love love the banter between these two and how much they balance each other. I love Aubrey’s grandmother and how she is pushing the best for Aubrey even if it embarrasses her. This book made me laugh and wanting more. I am so excited for the next novel to be released. #bookreview #arcreview #possessionbook #memphismagicnovel#girlswhoread #KatieBreyPA #KatieandBreyARCs #authorandreahagan
✳️Aubry works with her Grandmother and auntie Callie in their “metaphysical shop Memphis Magic ”. While trying to find a lost daughter for a mother, Aubry gets possessed by a Cambion. Neither the Cambion aka Damion nor Aubry doesn't know what made this happen. Aubry's family and friends, even Damion's friend attempts to separate the devil from Aubry's body, but nothing works. Keep reading to learn more about this symbiotic relationship between Damion and Aubry and also about the hidden meanings behind Audrey's dreams.✳️
✳️I felt like this whole thing should become a show. Every four-five chapters, there's something huge going on. It is fun, quirky, thrilling and magical. And who wouldn't love to be possessed by a handsome devil 😅. It was engaging, fast and really easy to read. There are moments of laughing out loud, but also some serious events going on. Because of this, we, readers will be hooked on to the book right from the very start.✳️
✳️It is incredible that this book is the work of a debut author. You are an awesome writer. Seriously, I am in love with all your characters, especially Damion, but also with the secondary ones. The chemistry between Aubry and Damion was so good. I was rooting for them real hard. And finally about the cover, how gorgeous is that. I need a poster, please 😂 Now, I really can't wait to read the next part of this series.✳️
Clairvoyant witch Aubrey Brooks is accidentally possessed by a sexy demon (yes, that’s his actual subtype) Damion Blackmon, during a séance gone wrong, and now she can’t get rid of him. As Aubrey, and eventually her entire entourage of magical friends and family, try every spell, incantation and potion they can think of to unlink the two unwilling corporeal co-habitors, clues pile up that point to her best friend’s cold case. Aubrey’s best friend Maddie was murdered a year ago and her killer is still on the loose. Could Maddie’s murder have something to do with Aubrey and Damion’s predicament?
This book is simply brilliant! I can not believe that it is a debut novel. It’s magically good! Are you hiding something in your spell and potions closet, Andrea Hagan?
The 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙮 is layered, compelling, and tricky. It feels like an Agatha Christie whodunit. The 𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 is sizzling and unique. Damion courts Aubrey from inside her body! You can’t help but feel the heat and their banter is delightful. The 𝙛𝙪𝙣 comes from the endless ways Aubrey tries to magically exorcize her demon. And there are so many ways!
Perfectly executed. One of the best edited and proofed debuts I’ve seen, this reads like a red racer on a newly paved road. Smooth.
This book follows Aubry still reeling from her best friends unsolved murder, trying to get back day to day normalcy. When one day she performs a seance for a family looking for their daughter and ends up sharing her body with a demon. Damion is downright sinful, all charm and confidence. They both have no clue how theyve ended up tethered together sharing Aubrhs body. They embark on the journey to end this possession and solve Aubrys friends murder.
This book is fantastic, the chemistry between Aubry and Damion is so well done, there's alot of sexual tension, but also alot of humour and wit between them. The other characters in this story standout though they're not our MFC and MMC they truly shine and feel apart of the story. I cannot gey enough of the family dynamic. This book really had me laughing out loud at times. This story is magical, steamy but also has the thriller aspect from trying to solve all these mysteries. The book wraps up nicely, but don't be fooled there is more to come from Aubry and Damion.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This was a cute, fun, light hearted, laugh out loud paranormal/fantasy romance about a witch who accidentally gets possessed by an unwitting demon. Neither wanted it to happen but now they can’t get unstuck. Then again, who would want to get unstuck from a sexy, silver tongued devil?
I adored this novel. Damion, the demon, was a riot from the beginning. While he and Aubry’s predicament takes center stage the plot in the background was also very interesting and kept me guessing throughout. I honestly cannot wait until book two comes out this fall. I need more of Aubry and Damion.
Oh my gosh I absolutely loved this book!! It was full of mystery, laughs, sass, & so much more.. I freak’n loved Aubry & Damion so much their so freak’n great.. I love their squabbles & their characters.. i couldn’t get enough of this book.. I hated when I had to put it down to adult lol..
Can’t wait till the next book comes out!! Love love love this book!!💜🖤
As I say each time, we all have different opinions so my review may not be the same as yours and that’s completely okay.
I mean...I mean...come on now...Are you going to be a person who judges the cover of this book and decides they don’t want to read it or are you going to be like me..
The person who is running on the cuteness between our characters and wishing—albeit dangerous—to find myself in a situation like this somehow?
I had the absolute pleasure of reading ”Possession” as an ARC and I want book 2.
**With all character names redacted**
I’m going to need a Grandmother like her to grow up with. A cat who I have an on and off relationship with and well... A possession problem like hers.
This book was amazing, so much fun to read. Could not put it down. Must read..... You have witches, demons, a possession and lots of other magical things. The book had its funny moments where you laughed out loud. There was also a mystery element (WhoDunIT) adventure Audry and Damion's back and forth banter was fun and entertaining, great fun relationship they had. It was great to meet these 2 characters and their friends, family and foes as well in this adventure. Oh and don't forget about the spice. It was pretty calm until the ending (just a heads up)
So happy to hear that there is going to be another book, so its a part of a series. I believe I read that it will be coming in Sept 2022. Def already on my TBR list

I loved it! In this time of mass shootings, war and suffering it is good to escape into some Magic. Of course there is some suffering if you have a demon possessing your body! But he's a handsome sexy demon so its all worth it. Kidnapping, murder and magic--all that you could ask for. Ive recommended it to my book club and I'm looking forward to some lively conversation
First, I’d like to thank the author for providing me with a copy of Possession so I could review it.
Aubry Brooks is a witch. Not the soul sucking, hat wearing, green faced evil kind of witch. She’s the kind of witch who reads tarot cards and bakes with her grandma. Together with her grandma and Aunt Callie, they run a metaphysical magic shop in Memphis.
Damion Blackmon is a devil just minding his own business, well sorta, he’s a lawyer for the supernatural with a very powerful father. One day, he felt a calling and smash,bhis first taste of possessing someone.
The dynamic between Aubry and Damion was light and sultry at the same time. Each time the story turned dark, it turned back into the light and had me rolling. The background characters had a purpose and helped drive the plot forward. The twist at the end was unexpected yet satisfying.
Overall this is a great book and I recommend it. Memphis Magic Book 2, Obsession, is due September 1st, 2022. I know I’ll be excited to read it!
If there is one genre I am picky about, it’s paranormal romance. Let’s face it, so many things can go wrong if it isn’t written well. Not only was Possession a well done paranormal romance, it was just well done period!
Aubry is your typical southern kitchen witch. She enjoys helping others and relies heavily on her tarot cards. Sure, there’s a lot of power coursing just beneath the surface but Aubry isn’t about to risk tapping into that. Everything she does is safe, routine, and comfortable. And then it happens. She’s guilt tripped into a seance and ends up possessed by a sexy half human/half demon. How does one get in-possessed when they have no clue how they became possessed to begin with? That’s the name of the game in this layered book!
Real talk, the plot is so strong you could strip away the paranormal aspects, as well as the spiciness, and still have a rock solid story. Every single character is well thought out, and portrayed in a way that you can’t help but love or hate them. This is just book one in a series and I’m here for it! Counting down the days to book 2!
I love this series. It’s only book one, but I’m hooked. I absolutely LOVE IT. It’s an interesting premise having essentially two mysteries in one - a mortal one as well as a supernatural one. Aubry is just your average ordinary kitchen witch working in her family’s metaphysical shop when an appointment for a séance turns her world upside down. Out of nowhere she finds herself possessed - and neither her or her demon trespasser can figure out how to end the possession. While working to evict the extra voice in her head, she meets an array of other supernatural beings as well as making friends with another human she meets in the worst way possible. Besides being possessed, Aubry also has her bestie on her mind. Maddie was murdered a year ago and it’s still unsolved. Aubry has plenty of guilt about this and she can’t let it go - even though the police have told her several times. So how does it go? Do they find Maddie’s killer? Is Aubry doomed to be possessed forever? You’ll have to read Possession to find out!
I really enjoyed this book, it was intriguing and it kept me snared the entire time. I was so invested in what was going to happen! For me, this book gave me KOTW vibes (which I loved) but in a more adult problem way. I actually did not speak to my husband for nearly 3 hours so that I could stay in this world with Aubry & Damion! I have already added the next book in this series to my Countdown clock because I already know that this is only going up from here!! The dialogue and banter between the FMC & MMC was so well written, I found myself giggling out loud. And VIVIAN!? Oh god, I need more of Granny Viv. She gave me major Gran vibes for those of you who read the Emerald Lakes series & I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT!!! If you love PNR, great banter, great family, and sexy incubus demons??? Look no further!
Babes I have found my favorite PNR series 👏🏻 I say series when only book 1 is out, but if the rest of these book are as good as this one then I’ll stand by that! . . . The characters will make you laugh out loud from chapter one. Don’t believe me? Here’s a blurb… . . . “the most knowledgeable witch I know is wearing a hot-pink T-shirt that says Slut for Slots and a picture of a slot machine with three cherries in a row.” . . . If that didn’t get your attention I don’t know what else will! This is comedy, a case of whodunit, some jam packed steam, and so so much more! Im not about to offer my self up as a vessel for possession but if Damion needed a home I’d gladly push Aubry outta the way is all I’m saying! If you’re looking for a new book to binge on RUN TO AMAZON BABES 👏🏻 . . . 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙/5 if I could give more I would! I love love loooovvvedd this!
Thank you to the lovely Andrea Hagan for sending me a copy of this book.
I don’t usually read the fantasy genre but I’m so glad I read this one. I now know all sorts of stuff about angels, demons, witches etc. so don’t shy away from this book if it’s outside of your comfort zone or knowledge base.
However, if you’re not into spice TBR maybe skip this one because it’s definitely spicy. The 1st sexy scene had me like 🥵.
I could’ve easily finished this one in one sitting but couldn’t because….life. Seriously check this one out. It’s fast paced, witty and sexy.
This was such a fun and light hearted book. It has a little bit of everything! Murder mystery, witch’s, demons, angels, possession… a slow burn romance. I quickly got into this book and could not put it down. I highly recommend!
Aubry, a witch, performs a seance and accidentally ends up possession by a demon. A sexy smooth talking demon. Now she and her coven along with some other unexpected new comers try to figure out how to reverse the possession and separate them.
Aubry as a demon problem. She may or may not want to solve that issue. She and Damion enlist everyone and everything they can think trying in vain to solve the problem. Meanwhile, solving a murder gets filtered into the mix. The love the sarcastic humor throughout, and look forward to more from Aubry.
Holy hotness!!!! Damion and Aubrey are like magic together. They have this give and take going on that's adorable. Grandma Vivian is hysterical. Aunt Callie acts like the middle child always going for Mr Wrong. Gabe is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The storyline is phenomenal. The characters all fit perfectly together. I can't wait for the next book.
Loved this story for a few reasons. First off- I loved the puns that Aubry makes when she’s nervous! I also loved the creativity behind the demon world and how it all works AND how it goes into law and being lawyers. I also noticed and appreciated how much research went into the facts and details of the witchy things. Looking forward to the second book!!
This book was an amazing read. It moves along at a comfortable pace making for an enjoyable read. The characters are so real that you feel as though you know them and cannot help but live them. This book needs to be read.
I loved Aubry and Damion's story, she's a sassy witch and he's a hot as hell demon, together they make the perfect couple even if he is inside her lol. This book is filled with laughs and action it is a can't put down until it is over book.
I stumbled upon this while looking for a spicy rom-com and boy was I delighted!! The sass and the unknown ! Truly unique story full of charm and adventure! I’m excited to find that there are two more adventures to read!
This is a great story and written so well. I loved how she wrote Aubry and Damion's parts. The tension was just enough angsty and sexy for me. I can't wait for book two!
