Dixon Penn’s family wasn’t terribly shocked when he announced he was gay, but they were devastated to learn he’s the only one without the gift of spellcraft. Fortunately, that doesn’t stop spellcraft from reaching out to him.

Dixon’s prospects have gone from bad to worse, but a contest at the biggest greeting card company in the tri-state area would be just the thing to turn his luck around. So what if he’s not technically a Spellcrafter - he’s been scribing pretty words and phrases all his life. How could anyone possibly write a better verse than him?

Yuri Volnikov, the taciturn Russian security guard at Precious Greetings, is determined to keep the charming contestant out. But Dixon has always been a sucker for big guys with exotic accents, and he won’t take no for an answer.

Whether or not Dixon wins the prize he hopes for, when he and Yuri work their magic together, it’s clear that luck is on their side.

The ABCs of Spellcraft is a series filled with bad jokes and good magic, where M/M romance meets paranormal cozy. A perky hero, a brooding love interest, and delightfully twisty-turny stories that never end up quite where you’d expect.

This collection contains the first five stories in The ABCs of Spellcraft series: Quill Me Now, All that Glitters, Trouble in Taco Town, Something Stinks at the Spa, and Dead Man's Quill.

Hysterically Funny with Grumpy/Sunshine Magic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

The ABCs of Spellcraft Collection Volume 1 features Quill Me Now (Book 1), All That Glitters (Book 1.5) ,Trouble in Taco Town (Book 2), Something Stinks at the Spa (Book 3), and Dead Man's Quill (Book 4) and this is almost 14 hours of fun, grumpy Yuri, happy sunshine Dixon, magic, and so much Scrivening :) I was so happy when JCP released the books on KU so I binge read the entire series and purchased the audiobooks based on all the great feedback! Best decision ever because Nick Hudson does an amazing job bringing Yuri and Dixon to life! Yuri’s grumpiness and Dixon’s zany and over the top peppiness was spot on. Brilliant narrator and wonderful author for making me laugh, smile, and laugh some more while listening to this amazing volume :)

I love this series and would love to be lost in this world. The characters and quests are wonderful. I love all the growth that happens. I do not want to give away spoilers. I can not wait for more adventures.

The Audio - LOVE it. The narrator is spot on. When I read the stories I now hear the voices he used. I LOVE his Yuri and his Dixon. I can not wait to hear more adventures.

Silly, Fun, and Sitcom-esque w/ Magic & Romance!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2020

I listened to the audiobook of The ABCs of Spellcraft Volume 1, which collects the first four novellas and a short story, but I'm going to do a separate mini review for each.

Quill Me Now (Book 1) - This was light and fluffy and cute! This first novella was about Dixon and Yuri's backstory and how they meet and get into a relationship when Dixon enters a greeting card contest. Nothing too deep, just an enjoyable story with some fun ridiculousness and a quick romance. Something that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. (I've come to realize, having read a few more books in the series already, that these are kind of like a sitcom with their exaggerated, humorous situations. Also, while I'm using this paranthetical to talk about the series in general, there are mentions of sex, but nothing I'd really call explicit scenes. Now back to the review for Book 1.) This was just the start of things and leads into a bigger story arc, so there's still time to get to know these two and their relationship better. Even so, they already had their own unique personalities in this one. There was also a cool magic system involving painting and writing. I enjoyed this!

All That Glitters (Book 1.5) - This was a cute little short story extra in the series. Not a lot happens, but I would say it's good to read if you're reading the series because it shows Yuri meeting Dixon's parents. And you get to know Dixon's family a tiny bit better. The ending cracked me up. A fun little addition.

Trouble in Taco Town (Book 2) - This was another cute, light, slightly ridiculous in a fun way novella. This one was about Dixon and Yuri heading to a tourist destination called Taco Town because they're pretty sure Dixon's uncle has been there, and they're looking for him, but a bunch of weird things keep going wrong in the town. Dixon is the most hopeful, optimistic, glass half full kinda person, and Yuri is not, and it makes for a fun dynamic sometimes. I also liked learning a little more about the magic system and how it works. The plot and characters had their usual silliness and made me chuckle. You can't take these books too seriously, but they're fun.

Something Stinks at the Spa (Book 3) - This one ratcheted up the ridiculousness to new heights and was maybe a bit much at times, but I tried to just roll with it and enjoy it for the fun, light novella that it was. In this one, Dixon and Yuri end up at a hot springs resort, pretending to be staff in order to help the owner get a good review from a critic and trying to figure out what spell went wrong this time. These books are kinda like a sitcom with their humor and silly shenanigans. I did chuckle some, and I enjoyed the cuteness of the relationship deepening. I liked seeing how the two men see each other from their POVs.

Dead Man's Quill (Book 4) - This one had a little more urgency and seriousness to it than the previous books, but it still had the same overall light, fluffy feel. This time, Dixon and Yuri finally find Fonzo, but he's gotten himself into a mess, and they attempt to help him get out of it. There was still a bit of the signature ridiculousness of the series, and Dixon's signature optimism and obliviousness, and overall it was another fun addition to the series that wrapped up the story arc about Dixon's Uncle Fonzo. It was nice to finally get some answers about that, I once again enjoyed seeing this unique magic system in action, and it was sweet seeing just how much Yuri cares about Dixon, even if a part of him still seems to be struggling with believing Dixon will stick around. These are silly books, for sure, but enjoyable.

I listened to the audiobook for this, and the narration by Nick Hudson was great. He really brought the characters, especially Dixon, to life with his natural and enthusiastic narration. It suited the writing, story, and style of humor perfectly. I'm not sure how good his Russian accent was, it didn't sound exactly like other Russian accents I've heard, but I'm no expert. It was still a great audiobook though.

Overall this was a fun, sitcom-esque collection of novellas with a cute relationship and interesting magic, and I'm enjoying the series!

Dixon and Yuri

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2019

QUILL ME NOW Super cute Valentine's story. Dixon made me giggle with his ramblings when he got nervous. I liked Yuri and his attempts at protecting Dixon. Together these two undo a lot of wrongs and fit together just perfectly. I'm excited that the author intends to add more adventures for these two.

ALL THAT GLITTERS Poor Yuri! Being introduced to Dixon's parents is a bit unsettling. Dixon is his usual effervescent self the perfect counterpoint to Yuri's stoicism. The dinner with the parents is something interesting. It tickled me that Yuri's 'seeing' was scrutinized by Dixon's mom.

TROUBLE IN TACO TOWN This second book in the ABSs of Spellcraft follows Quill Me Now. We get to see Yuri and Dixon further along in their relationship. Dixon is his usual bubbly self, seeing the joy in everything. Yuri is the definition of stoic, but Dixon is managing to melt that. Chasing after Dixon's wayward Uncle Fonzo they happen to encounter all kinds of people and problems in Taco Town. The domino effect of situations bordered on the absurd. It was all great fun. I loved the sweet sentiment that Yuri added to the guest book.

SOMETHING STINKS AT THE SPA I'm so loving this series! Tons of laughs and cute moments. Dixon is his usual effervescent self; bright, sunny and always looking for the best in everything. Yuri gets a chance to open up a little as he softens from his usual stoic self. The stories are best read in order and so much fun.

DEAD MAN'S QUILL The trek to find Uncle Fanzo comes to fruition only to be fraught with more peril. Dixon remains his true chipper self, seeing only the good in everyone and every situation. Yuri is still stoic and still deeply in love with Dixon. He indulges all of Dixon's hairbrained ideas and tries his best to be gracious to Uncle Fanzo. The storyline is great with a bit of cloak and dagger, a creepy carnival owner, a bitter rival and a nasty curse. Loved every minute.

Highly recommended author and series

Audiobook: I really enjoyed the narrator. He occasionally loses Yuri's 'Russian' accent but it almost makes it more enjoyable.
