This book started out really slow for about the first 45% and then I absolutely could not put it down. It's a mix of gothic/fantasy/dark romance vibes with the reincarnation and soulmate trope (go in blind but check TWs please). I am very much hoping for a sequel!
It was so bad, like definitely the worst book i have ever read

First thoughts... Fairydale is weird. Fairydale is LONG. Long book. Long chapters. You are going to have to really want it to make it through Fairydale.
The book starts with Darcy journeying to Fairydale to receive an inheritance from her deceased father she didn't know. Immediately things get weird. This town has strange people and strange happenings. Darcy meets brooding Caleb and she finds herself drawn to him but when she sleeps she is haunted by another man Amon who's from 200 centuries before her time but she can't deny the pull. Darcy is torn between Caleb in real life and literally the man of her dream Amon. Meanwhile an evil is making its ways through Fairydale and Darcy doesn't know who to trust.
Let's Talk bad for a moment. This book is wordy and can get repetitive in places. Honestly it should have been edited down or split into a series. There are moments that are slow and drag and I cen see why so many people have DNFed this. You get a lot of unneeded information! I also kind of felt the climax could have been better. I needed higher stakes.
But the good, this is a beautifully strange Gothic fantasy. Down to the core its a love story. Love that spits in the face of time. Personally I loved seeing three timeliness, especially how they drew the middle and most recent one together. Amon is the perfect "touch her and die" MMC and the mouth on that man🥵 This book also comes with plenty of spicy scenes that did it for me but make sure to check trigger warnings. This won't be a book for everyone but I found it enjoyable.

Ms. Veronica Lancet… I fear this may be a masterpiece. *Standing ovation—complete with slow clapping* Seriously, my jaw is still on the floor.
What a wild ride this was! Multiple timelines and multiple storylines to explore and get lost in. The haunting atmosphere and beautiful moments are absolutely everything. From concept to execution I was hooked. This is an absolutely mind-bending, unhinged and stunning romance novel with dark gothic fantasy and paranormal elements.
This love story has a long buildup, but the culmination is gut-wrenchingly beautiful, and definitely worth the perseverance.
I received an eARC of Fairydale.

DNF 20% I was bored and there was 9hrs to go. It is very weird but I wasn't intrigued enough to want to understand what is happening.
