It’s all quasi-legal fun until somebody gets framed for murder.
Miss Misery, Book 1
Jessica Moore thrives on misery. Literally. Thanks to a goblin’s curse, she gets a magical high from humanity’s suffering. A shameful talent like that could bury a girl in guilt, so to atone, she uses her dark power to hunt murderers, rapists and other scumbags—until one of them frames her for his crimes.
In desperation, Jessica seeks refuge with the one person she trusts to not turn her in—a satyr named Lucen. Like every member of his race, Lucen uses his lusty magic to control Boston’s human population, and Jessica isn’t immune to his power. But the murder victims belonged to a rival race, and when they discover Lucen is harboring Jessica, dodging the cops becomes the least of her problems.
With only five days to find the real killer, Jessica faces a danger far more serious than the brewing magical war. The danger of succumbing to Lucen’s molten seduction.
Warning: Contains a heroine with a lust for misery, creepy murders, and creepier goblins, satyrs so hot you’d sell your soul for one, and scaly sewer rats masquerading as dragons. Who said magic was all sparkles and tiaras?

Good worldbuilding, but the protagonist refuses to learn from her mistakes.
By Elena Linville
I'm always apprehensive when I start a new series, because you never know if you will like the world and the characters. And I usually try to stick with the series for at least 3 books or so before I decide to drop it, because the first book has the difficult and thankless task of introducing the reader to a brand new world. So even if I am not particularly trilled with book 1, I am more than willing to discount some of my misgivings and give the series another chance by reading book 2… That is if I like the protagonist enough to stick with him / her for another book.
Unfortunately, that is not the case with Wicked Misery.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I loved the worldbuilding for this series. The fact that we have a different kind of supernatural beings than vampires or werewolves is rather refreshing. It's also interesting to read about a world where the preds and other supernatural beings are known and more or less integrated into society.
My problem with this series is the protagonist, which is a deal breaker when you are stuck observing the whole story through her eyes. Jessica Moore is a classic case of how the character has to constantly do stupid sh@t to drive the story along. I mean, I understand that the protagonist has to make mistakes, get burned and rise to the challenge, but a good protagonist also has to LEARN from those mistakes and get better, or at least not repeat them over and over again.
In Jessica's case, she doesn't seem to learn. AT ALL. And while this might be endearing the first time or two, it gets extremely annoying by the end of the book. She is in deep trouble, framed for a series of gruesome murders, wanted by all sorts of powerful people because of that. Yet, she absolutely refuses to listen to the people who try to help her with this problem. People whom he ran for help in the first place, I might add. It's like she landed this whole mess on the satyr's lap, then can't seem to manage to stay put and let them deal with it. They tell her to hide and lay low, but she runs off to meet with a goblin who might or might not have pertinent information for her instead… without telling anyone where she is going. Ok, that might work once as a plot device, but later on in the book she pulls the same trick again and goes barging into a Fury bar on her own without telling anyone about again, in the middle of a Griffon raid designed to find her btw.
That's not endearing anymore, that’s called having a death wish. The fact that she seems to emerge from those encounters unscathed and with no consequences at all indicates poor planning on the author's part. The fact that Jessica's little escapades are the only thing that drives the story forward also makes me want to put the book down.
My other problem with this book is the romantic relationship between Jess and Lucen, or what will probably become a romantic relationship between them in later books. It doesn't work, at least not how it's written. He is a satyr, so a pred whose whole nature is to incite lust in humans. Jess feels that and despises him for it. In fact, even though she run to him for help, all she does during the whole book is belittle and denigrate him, at least in her head (and since we are in her head, we get to read all of it). Then by the end of the book, after a plot twist I won't tell you about, her ability to sense preds is dampened and she realizes that she still lusts after Lucen. Light bulb moment for our protagonist - so that wasn't entirely him, I really want him! So it's okay to finally be with him. News flash, honey, the fact that you want to jump his bones does not a strong relationship make. Especially since you haven't really changed your opinion on what he is and what he does.
I think that's my biggest problem with this book - Jess hasn't really evolved by the end of it. As a person, I mean. Sure, she learned a bit more about her powers and decided that she would use them for good rather than evil, but that's as far as the character development went. And since she wasn't a character I was particularly interested in following at the beginning, it doesn't make me want to follow her into the next book.
So my verdict for Wicked Misery is - interesting world building, but the protagonist is not my cup of tea. I wouldn't recommend this series to my friends. There are plenty of other excellent series to read instead.

Excellent!
By Book Passion for Life
Wicked Misery is the first book in the new Miss Misery series and what an opener it was, I loved it!
In a very different world, the supernatural is commonplace, filled with humans that can be used for the pleasure of various supernaturals known as Predators (preds) of which there are a few species. Jessica Moore is human with magic in her bloodstream, which usually means that you get a chance to become a Gryphon, the police of her world. Jess was on her way to becoming one, only her magic didn’t develop as hoped, no, Jess’s magic is something else and made this way because she was cursed by an unknown. So ten years after being kicked out of the Gryphon program, Jess has made her own semi hidden identity as the Soul Swapper – when a good person is left with no other choice than to bargain with a ‘pred’ for their soul, without fully understanding the consequences…Jess finds a soul from the dregs of society to swap and return the soul of the person who hired her. Only now, someone has worked out who she is and she is unwittingly dragged into a serial murder case. Finding herself accused of the murders & with no one to turn to, she turns to the one man who was there for her when her world came crashing down – a satyr named Lucen- she has always tried to keep him at arms-length for fear of becoming a ‘lust addict’ – hooked on a satyrs magical power – but he makes a big stand on her behalf and now Jess must join up with the satyr people to clear her name, she has 5 days…..
So, I really enjoyed this book. The author has created quite a different scenario to the usual paranormal UF I have read and although at times it was puzzling, it was a great read. Jess was a good character, easy to connect too and feel for. I always like a strong heroine with a bit of attitude and Jess fit the bill nicely. In the beginning, I found it hard to get a grasp on her powers, how they worked etc. but that got easier as the book went on. I liked her relationship with Lucan, you could tell from the get go that they had feelings for each other and could feel the sexual tension between them. I totally got why Jess was apprehensive and doubted her own feelings incase they were ‘lust magic’ induced so it’s understandable how she behaves around him. It’s hard to know whether she was in fact being lured or if they were really her feelings, I think they are hers but will enjoy reading about it unfolding some more. Lucan was great too, I can’t say I like his magic and what he has to do for the addicts he has, I can see problems arising because of this but I’m willing to see where it will go.
The storyline was good, who doesn’t like a good old whodunit? Especially when our leading lady is put in the frame and needs to prove her innocence to everyone, including the authorities. I like the whole set up with different areas of the city being for either humans or different supernaturals, sort of segregated because of the humans fear of the Preds and the preds distrust of the other species. We have a few Pred species like Satyrs, Sylphs, Harpies, goblins, Magus, Furies… all of course have their own kind of magic which brings human addicts and all lead by a Dom & their council. I had a little trouble grasping their power, I didn’t get the whole ‘addict/master’ scenario, the same with Jess’s power but it didn’t interfere with my enjoyment of the book and I guess as the series goes on, I will understand it more. I liked the pacing and how everything unfolded, it was definitely one of those books where it keeps you on your toes and guessing who actually committed the crimes right up until the reveal and I loved the who, what & why when we eventually get the answers. I’m left curious about a few things - I would like to find out more about Jess & her powers, would love to see what develops between Jess & Lucen and wondering what’s next for her too but I thought it was an excellent beginning to a new series, full of potential and I will definitely be looking out for the sequel.

I loved the world of Wicked Misery! What a fun book!
By Molly Mortensen @ Woven Magic Books
Unlike most Urban Fantasy books I’ve found lately with the traditional vampires, werewolves, and some sort of ruling council, Wicked Misery actually has a unique world! The world building was easily the best part of the book! (You all know how I am about world building)
There are humans with magic and they all work for the Griffins, a sort of police organization. And then there are the Preds; Satyrs, goblins, furies, harpies and Sylphs. These people have to feed off negative human emotions to live. (Satyrs lust, goblins greed, furies wrath, harpies jealously and sylphs vanity) They addict people to their powers and feed off of them.
Jessica is a human, but she has a power that is similar to that of a pred. At eighteen she was kicked out of the school preparing her for the Gryphons and told her gift had dried up, but it didn’t, it changed. She’s made the most of a bad situation, using her gift to find people who are truly evil and trading their souls to the preds. People make deals with preds in exchange for becoming an addict and Jessica trades a blood sample from a rapist or pedophile to the preds to save people who have come to her for help.
Jessica was a likable enough main character, if a bit abrasive at times. I liked her best friend Steph, sassy and unique, a computer expert and transsexual. Lucen was also a mysterious and sexy love interest. He’s been her friend for ten years, but she doesn’t really trust him because he’s a Satyr. The other Satyrs were cool too. (I personally have a bit of a crush on Devon.)
The way Jess could taste negative emotions was a nice addition. Like she doesn’t like anxiety because it tastes like spearmint to her and suspicion tastes like chocolate, which usually gives her a craving for cake.
The plot was quick and well paced. The murder mystery was obvious from the beginning, but I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the preds and Jessica’s powers.
The book was written in a lighter tone which was supposed to be funny, but wasn’t really. (It wasn’t bad funny though.) Okay I realize I need an example since I’m not making much sense. This paragraph pretty much sums up her humor.
I was also a twenty-eight-year-old waitress who carried a chip on her shoulder for having her dreams crushed at the age of eighteen. Who was I kidding? The thing I had the most of was not mojo. It was issues. Enough to keep your average psychiatrist employed for years, probably.
The Bad:
I was annoyed when Jess acted recklessly. In my opinion such a heroine is only a weak plot device. I hate it when she says, ‘this is stupid, this is suicidal’ and then does it anyway. If she wasn’t the main character she’d so be dead!
Point of View: First (Jessica)
Predictability: 3 out of 5 (Where 1 is totally unpredictable and 5 is I knew what was going to happen way ahead of time.)
