Fairydale Paperback – January 1, 2023

I don’t even know how to process what I just read. Fairydale is not just a book- it's an experience. It’s haunting, seductive, devastating, and utterly unforgettable. The blend of gothic horror, historical fantasy, and paranormal romance is flawlessly executed, and completely pulled me into a story that spans centuries, weaving together love, loss, obsession, and fate in the most unexpected way.Amon d’Artan. He is THE standard. This man didn’t just set the bar- he shattered it into a million pieces and rebuilt it in his own name. He is feral, poetic, obsessive, devoted, dangerous, and absolutely intoxicating. His love transcends time, space, and reality itself. The way he speaks, the way he breathes for her- UGH! It's the kind of love that ruins you for every other book boyfriend. The yearning, the intensity, and the soul-deep connection??? I AM FERAL.The writing is lush and thick with mystery and tension. The plot twists had me questioning my sanity. Every chapter peeled back a new layer of this intricate, dark, and devastatingly romantic story. It’s the kind of book that makes your heart race, your stomach drop, and your soul ache in the best possible way.This book is not for the weak. It demands patience, attention, and complete emotional surrender. But if you're good with the trigger warnings and let it consume you, Fairydale will mark you forever.And if you’re reading this review, just know: Amon d’Artan owns me. And if you give this book a chance, he will own you too.

This book is not awful, but there's a ton of rape and the MMC is very one-dimensional and unrealistic. The por... ahem... the intimate scenes were ok but not fantastic. Explicit doesn't necessarily mean sexy. And it just drags on and on and on. Get to the point! Plus, there were so many typos... Oh and "the big reveal" was obvious right from the start. So obvious and annoying.

I love that the twists kept me on my toes and the characters were so real that I felt their heartbreaks and loves as if I were watching them myself. This book surprised me in so many ways and is by far one of my favorite reads so far this year and I've red 44 books since January. This one was dark and mysterious but still captured all the wonder of a truly amazing story and the spicy scenes were top teir even though it's a bit of a slow burn, it's absolutely worth the wait. I love Amon and Stela!!

Not what I expected at all from the blurb but I stuck with it. This book is long and could have been multiple books but it did keep my interest, I liked how the multiple storylines overlapped and the twist towards the end was good. But it would have been better if it had kept the gothic, romance trope. Towards the end I didn’t know if I was reading gothic, fantasy, spooky, vampire, witches, romance or monsters. It ended up feeling like too much once the MMC also shifted into something else along with Magic, needing blood ect all rolled into one. Would have been better to stick with just one or two. I also felt that the romance was good but there were a couple graphic scenes that left me cringing, SPOILER didn’t like his face covered in blood while on her time of the month, it was cringe and the last scene once he shifted was also kind of cringe. Also impossible to do what he was doing with apparently how large he was down there. It just didn’t match the rest of the book at all. I Would have liked it a lot more if he just stayed as a magical Human, not also shifting to a monster. Also after sticking with it for 700 pages the ending and prologue were so rushed and anti climatic, which didn’t relate to the descriptive rest of the book at all. I liked elements of this book and it had lots of potential but random thing were thrown into it that made it seem a little messy

I absolutely loved this book! The writing was amazing, the characters were magnetic, and the unlimited number of plot twists blew my whole mind. Fairydale is a gothic romance, with paranormal elements and even some fantasy vibes thrown into the mix. There is a lot of timeline jumping with the FMC and MMC, so you have to pay close attention at all times! If you blink, the scene changes so make sure you don’t get distracted while reading. Give this book your undivided attention and fall in love with Fairydale.There is absolutely NOTHING I would change about this book! It phenomenal. All the stars!

This was a buddy read and had it not been for this I would have soft dnf’d. It is way too long and honestly could have been wrapped up in 500 pages.Somehow I was able to push through the hard moments and I don’t regret it. It’s a good read and the story is romantic at its core. Amon and Sela were meant to be together in every lifetime. It has its sad moments and moments where I think the fmc is a tad gullible. She needed to trust herself more but she got there in the end.

Okay I won’t lie, the first 10-12 chapters of this book you have no idea what the hell is going on or where it could possibly lead. But OH MY GOD. This book is encapsulating, an absolute masterpiece and I couldn’t put it down. The way that everything ties together is simply incredible. This book took my breath away, it made me mourn, it made me yearn for more until the very end. 10/10 read. I’m absolutely going to be purchasing the hard copy because I NEED this book on my shelf. It’s a masterpiece.

This surprised me a lot. The synopsis does NOT do this story justice. It's about so much more than awakening sensuality. There are some scenes that will be hard for people if you're not accepting the context that unwinds slowly. It does make sense, if you can wait for it. Check triggers, though I will say the trigger warnings don't present quite how you'd guess they would.This starts off as a real mindfuck, and I was feeling just as gaslit as the FMC, but it's quite meticulous as things are revealed. I absolutely adored this book! I didn't want it to end, but it was done so well, that it wrapped itself up beautifully, too. Wild ride! Loved it!
