5.0 out of 5 starsThis book has my heart!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2023
"How could I want anyone else when I am only because you are? I exist for you just as I exist because of you."

I don’t have the words to do this book justice. It has my whole heart. I loved it. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I adored Amon. ADORED. The way Veronica wrote him was magical. I loved how he was big, dark, and dangerous…a warrior and so powerful. Feared by so many. Yet he had this vulnerable side and was unsure of himself at times. It was precious!

"Even if the entire world hates me—even if they all revile me—as long as I have your love and your regard, nothing else matters. I can be the enemy of people, Lizzie. But if I am your lover, it's more than enough for me. I told you before," he purrs huskily, "I may be bad to everyone else. But to you, just to you, I'll be good."

I won’t say any more because I think you should go in blind, as I did. If you love all things fantasy, gothic, paranormal, mysterious, witchy, and spicy af…this is your book. This one will ALWAYS be a favorite for me…right up there with Hollow Heathens. If you know, you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars I won't know what to read after Fairydale!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2022
Verified Purchase
The last time I read a book this long was when I was a teenager and read Stephen King's The Stand! My New Year's resolution though is to not DNF so easily and since this book will probably carry me into 2023, I'm going to finish it. It's no hardship though. It doesn't get spicy until about 50% of the book but it's written in such a way that I didn't even care. The main story is set in 1955 but follows different timelines but it's done in a cohesive way so the reader isn't confused. It has mystery, intrigue, supernatural and otherworldly elements, witchcraft, some gore (not too bad), an antihero you'll root for, romance to die for and so much more that I won't mention or I'll give away too much! It's in first person but her prose is divine, her grammar and vocabulary are stellar and I only saw 3-4 typos. The second half of the book almost reads like a different story but in a good way and there's so much character development going on! Now, you can't really skim with this book or you'll be lost later on. I should say that there's SA on page but it doesn't come to fruition (I'll admit I skimmed over those parts but it wasn't necessary). If you're looking for a long book with a love story like nothing before, you'll be enthralled by Fairydale!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I wanted in a book
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2023

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Before I get into the actual plot and story I want to say the price is so so worth it. Self published books tend to run a little more and I’m so happy shes getting her coin because this is so very much deserved.
The story is a little confusing at first, we get snippets into different perspectives and as it continues on, it perfectly interweaves into the plot. Right from
the beginning events are happening one after the other I began to question if it was going to plateau near the end and boy was I wrong. I was hooked from the first page and by the midway point of the book I was staying up to finish it.
There are points where you cant help but theorize and while I guessed correctly, I didn’t feel as though it was predictable because the writing is so freaking amazing.
I cant recommend this book enough please go read it and experience Darcy’s story its so very worth it

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've read this year!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2022
Verified Purchase
I have read over 200 books this year and I can honestly say this book is, by far, the best book I've read so far! The book is placed I'm multiple different worlds and over thousands of years/multiple lifetimes...and yet, the author had a way of keeping me enthralled and on the edge of my seat the entire time. The world building was exceptional and I could really feel like I was there experiencing it all with the two main characters. I laughed, cried and everything on between with the two MC's and even though the book was over 760 pages it never felt like it was drawn out or had unnecessary details to the point where I got bored...on the contrary, it left me wanting more! SO MUCH MORE! I sincerely and deeply want a second book about Sela and Amon and how their story continues (I don't want to give any spoilers, so that's as much as I'll say...but trust me, you'll want more too!). Their love story was epic, timeless, so pure and true it made my heart soar and made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside! It was truly the best love story I've ever read (and like I said I've read A LOT of books this year and I only read romance). The plot was amazing and the spice 🌶 was fire 🔥, trust me, you will not regret reading this book, I recommend every romance book lover reads this book, 1000/10 recommend! Please give me more Sela and Amon Veronica Lancet! I NEED more! ❤️

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2023

This is a doozy! Darcy is a schoolteacher in a private school in the 1950s. She is contacted by strangers, telling her that the father she never knew has left her some money. In order to inherit, she has to travel to a strange, small town with a sinister reputation. When she arrives, she meets a handsome, mysterious stranger, who she finds herself strangely drawn to. All kinds of strange things start to happen to her. She starts to see and experience things that make her question her sanity. At night, she dreams of another life, and romance with an enigmatic man, who she just cannot resist. What follows is a true gothic tale, which is sure to keep you reading. There are a lot of descriptive, down and dirty sexual encounters included, some of which are disturbing. It was a little too much for my taste, otherwise it was really good reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars OH MY GOD READ IT RIGHT NOW
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 4, 2022

This.... I can't even say how effing insanely happy I am that I found a some random tiktok and picked up this book. I've been slogging through 3/5 255 page books for months and finally FINALLY we have a real, well thought out, truly epic story. The spice is cherry, the action is cherry, the character development is cherry. I cannot believe I did not run across thus book before now.

Whatever you're doing, drop it, this is not a book you can finish in one night because it's an actual book and not a short story. The writing is incredible and I'm gonna be stalking thus author for years to come I just know it. They should make this a movie honestly. I don't often re-read books, I haven't the patience for it, but this one you can be dam sure I will read again and again.

No spoilers, go read thus. Right now. Ideally alone somewhere because you're gonna squeal and laugh and cry and maybe need to sit on a towel oh my God the spice!!!!! It manages to be many full sex scenes (which I usually end up skipping if there's more than like 3) but it's got enough substance that you can just read through them and enjoy them. The tension previous to those is also incredible, the MMC dialogue is so so 🔥.

FMC isn't a pushover but she's also not like sassy pretends to be badass, she's not super awkward or clumsy which is a trope I hate, and she's thoughtful and all her reactions to things make sense.

The several timeliness are easy to understand and follow, the writer is truly a gifted storyteller, it's just wow. Ordinarily multiple timelines and POV are rough but here it's smooth as butter.

Just go. Go read it. You're gonna die, it's incredible.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK ALTERED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2022
Verified Purchase
I don't think words can describe how much I loved this book. Easily one of my top reads of the year.

Overall: 5/5 PLZ READ THIS BOOK
Spice: 3.5/5
Characters: 5/5
Plot: 5/5 VERONICA KEPT ME GUESSING

This book follows two timelines. Oe in 1955 when Darcy is summoned to the town of Fairydale to attend her father's (whom she never met) funeral. Once she gets there, she immediately gets robbed, starts seeing strange things, and finds a paper with "Don't trust anyone" written on it. She also meets this man named Caleb, who she begins to have feelings for, but she can't deny the strange things that continuously happen around him.

In 1789 we follow Elizabeth as she is entering her first season. When she meets the man she thinks she will marry she tells her mother. Instantly her mother forbids her from seeing him again because she claims he is a demon and Elizabeth comes from a long line of witches.

This is a romantic fantasy with great writing, interesting characters, and a unique plot. Loved the characters, the spice was fantastic, and I cannot recommend this book enough!

As soon as I thought I knew where the story was going, I was thrown a curveball. I couldn't accurately guess what was going to happen next until the very end which made this book so fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.

In this beautifully crafted dark love story, an incredible tale the spans several lifetimes sucks you in and each time you think you've assembled the pieces another unexpected but perfectly written plot twist knocks you on your tale. 500 stars 🌟 for Veronica Lancet's Fairydale. Magic, covens, world's within worlds and love that lasts throughout time are at the heart of this story where nothing is as it seems but everything ends as it should be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the slow build up!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
I won’t lie, I started and stopped this book a couple of times. The beginning, like the first 50%, is so slow because much of the mystery is shrouded- Very gothic in that respect. However, luckily, I had seen a review that warned me ahead of time so I trusted that it would get good and IT DID. It got quite good and was totally worth the weight. I do hope they write a book 2. It doesn’t end on a cliffhanger and ends quite well. But book 2 would be the icing on the cake.

This book was amazing, unique, and kept you interested. The author did a wonderful job at world and character building. The story was beautifully written. Honestly if you are tired of paranormal books based on vampires and werewolves and want something new, then give this a chance.
