Bayou Fairy Tale by Lex Chase
5.0
****Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance®****
4.5 Stars - Bayou Fairy Tale finds us two years after the defeat of Idi and the incarceration of Atticus in a mental facility. On the surface, things seem to be going well, but we soon see that all is not a perfect as desired.
I loved the story and the setting, but must talk about what annoyed the heck out of me first, just to get it out of the way. Taylor and Corentin DO NOT TALK. They do not talk about what is going on with each other, they hide secrets and both feel they are not worthy of the other. There are some major self-esteem issues going on, as well as the SECRECY! This does not make for a pleasant home life for either of them. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when people decide they know best and act without consulting their partner, especially by hiding truths.
Now that that is out of the way… You’ll see I still rated the book 4.5 Stars out of 5. Why? Because the rest of the story is vivid, compelling, and unique. I loved Idea and the concept behind it. I loved how even bleak and desolate frozen New Orleans was depicted in such rich atmosphere. I could see the ice shrouded streets and the life that lay beneath.
I loved Ringo and Honeysuckle as the sidekicks. I also appreciated the other story book characters that were introduced. Even with Taylor and Corentin’s problems, I still adored both of them.
The book ends on very shaky ground. It isn’t really even a HFN, but there is hope and a burning desire to read book 3!
