Book Review: Fae Curse

My rating: 5 badass stars


What do sexy fae lords, a vampire assassin, and a mysterious castle have in common?

A cool and spunky baker, who rides a badass bike.



Coren Connely is perfectly happy with her perfectly normal life, running her own bakery with her best friend Hekla.
Until one day when she squeezes the brakes and almost eats the end of a bright blue Tesla. Because she suddenly sees a brand new hill above her town. And on the hill there is a castle. 'A legit castle. Like, Renaissance style.'
And because Coren is, as her mother used to say, exactingly nosey, she has to go and investigate.

Now, if you haven't already grown to like Coren from the very first chapter, as she gently talks to her fridge: 'I understand, fridge! You need some me time.' You're definitely gonna love her by the time she starts to argue with the castle.
'What are you doing here? You're making me seriously doubt saying no to those meds my doc suggested last year. .... So bizarre. What are you doing here Italian castle? I must be insane..'

And her reaction to the drop-dead gorgeous man within that castle - priceless! But I won't spoil and give you just a hint:
'My mouth opened to moan Yes, take me, but my head shouted a firm WTF Connelly!' followed by a very unladylike kick to the groin.

And this is how Coren's adventure starts. With a supernatural situation in which she's practically expecting Dean and Sam to come walking over. In one single day, her life goes from perfect to perfectly insane as she finds out that the ridiculously gorgeous immortal and his brothers, his vampire buddy included, are affected by an ancient curse. One that Coren is supposedly able to break. Because of her supposedly special blood.

In other words, her life is forfeit, until she can somehow shove the immortals back into whatever magical hole they crawled out of.
Determined to take the insanity head on and win, AFTER unsuccessfully trying to run from their asses, Coren grits her teeth, says a prayer to the Universe at large and agrees to play their game.

Still wondering at times if she hasn't really lost her marbles and ended up like her aunt Viv, 'completely bonkers and delightfully nuts,' Coren takes the madness head on. And she hatches a plan. But said plan didn’t account for the insane feelings she's starting to have for the alpha of the group, who may be the most awesome man alive and possibly fluent in magical lustery.

Fast paced, entertaining and a hell lot of fun, this short read is full of mystery, adventure and humor. Coren is snarky, cool and awesome; the friendship between her and Hekla shines; and the premise is fascinating. The character backstories are not very developed, and some scenes do feel rushed. But to me, that did nothing to diminish the charm of this little tale. I read it in one sitting with a smile on my lips and am going to dive straight into the sequel ASAP. Because that end!!!! OMG!!!

If you are on the lookout for a light and captivating read full of snarky banter and fun, you have got to give Fae Curse a try!

Happy reading Bookdragons
