Prys Bane is a witch Princess; with her Royal Bloodline she has privilege, money and powers to emotionally manipulate and predict outcomes. Prys focuses on using her power for good, working as a witch magistrate and matchmaker. Prys has been contracted to find a Legacy match for the male Donovan heir, but when she arrives in Los Angeles, Prys finds a murdered witch Senator. Now, with a murdered Senator, Prys finds out that the Legacy heir she must find a match for is the hunky Guard she kissed the night before, John Donovan. As Prys investigates further, she receives threats of her own, driving her further into John's arms.

Wicked Match is the second book in the Wicked series. While it can be read as a stand alone, the previous book offers some insight into how the supernatural world interacts with humans. Wicked Match offers a slow burn paranormal romance that turns hot and spicy. The romance combined with a murder mystery and magic created a fast-paced exciting read. Prys and John are wonderful characters. Prys was painted as an Ice Queen by the supernatural media, but is deeply connected to emotions and never wants to hurt anyone. She is a perfect match for John with his rough exterior and dominant needs. The murder mystery is compelling along with the constant threats on Prys' life keeping the suspense and danger high. I had the villain figured out pretty early on, but the motivations behind their treachery were interesting to see unravel.

So this was the second book in a series and a somewhat continuing story from another series altogether. I had no problem keeping up with the story because there are small recaps and background information. However, I will definitely be checking out the other series because this book was so good! There was romance and thrills. John and Prys have a ton of chemistry and I love their relationship. They have such a deep connection and understanding about what the other wants or needs. There was edge of my seat action and thrills, however, I easily picked out who the villain was early on. It seemed some of the other characters were on to them too but didn’t really care. I really enjoyed the plot and writing of this book and can’t wait to check out more by this author! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy. ( )

This is the second novel in Luna Joya's Wicked series, following Wicked Crown. I believe my enjoyment of this title was negatively impacted by the fact that I had not read the first book. There was a tremendous amount of worldbuilding crammed into the first chapter of the book. Unfortunately, the author chose "showing" over "telling" and the result was an info dump for the reader. The main character, Prys, is also a woman of extreme privilege in the Witch world and comes across as a vapid socialite, although she does not see herself that way. All in all, I did not enjoy the book and chose not to finish reading. If you like the blurb and think the book would work for you as a reader, I highly recommend beginning with Wicked Crown. Thanks to the publisher for giving me the opportunity to leave an honest review of the book. ( )
