Virtutis gloria merces

Translation: Glory is the reward of valor

Fed up with playing the normal game, recent university graduate, ex-cum laude, ex-soccer star, ex-popular and mostly broke Kera MacDonagh changes her life when she decides to research how to be a witch... And believes it.

Kera didn’t want to go back east and deal with her overbearing Mom. So, when university was done, she stayed behind in Los Angeles.

Little did she realize how controlling moms can be from the other side of the country.

Feeling a little desperate to make her own way, she buys a few books on business.

And one on a lark ‘How to be a Badass Witch.’

That’s when the trouble started.

Join Kera as she grows into her powers and faces challenges as she learns how to become a badass witch, then vigilante and finally detective. And maybe find love along the way.

Get these three complete series - 9 books total - in one boxed set:

  1. How To Be A Badass Witch
  2. How To Be A Badass Vigilante
  3. How To Be A Badass Detective

Go up and click ‘Read for Free’ or ‘Buy Now’ and find out just what trouble a young woman can get into when the magic just might be real.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

I really am enjoying these books. This is a collection of three trilogies, all with the same heroine. Good character development, as well as action that doesn't leave you lost. Suitable for teens (except for some of the language, but oh, well). Not trying to sound like a fundamentalist - just alluding to the fact you don't have to fret about steamy sex scenes. But well written/edited which seems rare in books of this genre (sorta sci-fi/fantasy magic). Have never been disappointed in any novels Michael Anderle has written or collaborated on (but I have read only a tiny fraction of his work).

Loved the action and how I was kept up late in the night! Hard to put down once started. Have enjoyed both of the Badass series and I know they will pull me back again and again. Great escapist fiction that is easy to get immersed into until the final page. Leaving need always wanting more. Highly recommend especially if you love discovering unique urban fantasy.

I highly recommend this kick@$$ group of books, which make it so much easier to binge read, to be readers who love reading thrilling Fantasy. The main character and the people with whom she is close, are phenomenal in the way they handle all the truly awful actions of the protagonists. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars I wish the ending of these series would have had more closure
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2022
As it is, it just feels rather incomplete.

Although I enjoyed the world building and the supporting characters, the Heroine just didn't seem very appealing. The series didn't engage me thoroughly at times, so it took me longer than usual to get through the complete set. I did, however, finish it. But I was somewhat disappointed at the end, because it left some things unresolved.

I liked all the books . The best part was buying them as a bundle. The only concern I had was the titles. It was hard to see how they were all related. Confusing. However, the main character was fantastic. Hope to see her in future books.

Die drei Trilogien sind genial!👍

Ich würde mich riesig über mehr von Kera freuen, aber wo soll es da noch hingehen? Vielleicht ein Epilog, wie ihre Welt und ihre Freunde in 10 Jahren sind, oder ein Rückblick, wenn Steph und sie in 100 Jahren noch leben, aber Lia, Chris und die Kims nicht mehr...? Oder How to be a badass Witch-Teacher, wenn es besser ankommt, als badass teacher und die "Hexe" bessere Verkaufszahlen einbringt? Stell dir vor: Kera versucht ruhig zu bleiben, während sie Teenagern etwas beibringt. 😂 😏

Gegen ein "How to be a badass Dragon!" perhaps the last female or the first female Warrior ever, hätte ich auch nichts einzuwenden. Aber von Herrn Anderle nehme ich auch ein weiteres Vampirbuch gern zur Hand, besonders, wenn es knallhart ist. 🤓 📚

Und für Herrn Anderles Pizza aus dem besonderen Ofen hier noch eine einfache Tomatensoße, etwa 600 ml, die auch als Chilli-Grundlage herhalten kann:

1 Eßl. Mehl (Vollkorn oder normal) mit
1 Eßl. Butter oder Öl anschwitzen und schnell
5 Eßl. Tomatenmark unterrühren und anrösten lassen, um die Säure abzubauen. ⚠ brennt gern an ⚠
Dann in kleinen Portionen, damit es nicht klumpt,
500 g/ml passierte Tomaten oder Tomatensaft nach und nach unterrühren, an besten mit dem Schneebesen und vor Spritzern in acht nehmen.
1 Eßl. Zucker (oder für Diabetiker 1/2 Eßl. Birkenzucker und 1/2 Eßl. Erytrith), sowie
1 Tl. - 1 Eßl. geräuchertes Paprikapulver nach Geschmack und
1/2-1 Tl. Salz zugeben.

Für Pizzasoße oder Spaghettisoße mit dem Oregano nicht zu geizig sein, für's Chilli dagegen die Soße mit Chilli und bunten Pfeffer abschmecken. Und für alle, die nicht die selbe Abneigung wie Herr Anderle haben, gerne noch 200-400 g klein gehackte Tomaten aus der Dose unterrühren und nochmal nachwürzen.👌

Guten Appetit!

I have yet to read a mediocre tale from these two...and this yet again blows it out of the water!! Glad I was able to get all three trilogys...so addictive you need to keep reading! Kara discovers she has magic...and her life becomes rather exciting. Gangs and drug dealers learn the hard way they can't do business in her town and other magic groups become aware of her. An exciting and full on adventure and it's wonderful to follow Kera as she develops her skills...and her friends learn a thing or two along the way. Would love to see more from the team...

Usually, anything with Michael Anderle's name attached is always a amusing, action-filled read.

This is the first dud I've found personally. Long, waffling tangents, that bring nothing to the character involved, or the story as a whole. I found myself flicking through pages and realized, 'I'm not actually reading this, I'm skimming through trying to find the actual story.' And it's a unfortunate realization.
