Fairydale by Veronica Lancet
3.0
They have a love hate relationship and I have a love hate relationship with them
This book was on my radar the first time around when it was indie published and then I saw it come across @netgalley and thought ‘this is my moment’!
Fairydale is a dark (check your triggers) gothic romance and Darcy finds out her biological father passes away and she goes to this town to get her inheritance. But Fairydale is no normal town lol. It’s a spooky spooky place. Things start to get weird the moment she gets there.
There’s two men and three timelines and demons and witches and I really loved the plot and where it was going and went. But the length lol. I knew going into this one that it was a long book and that I’d be confused a lot of the time (which is fine, that’s me a lot - I like to just ride the authors wave) but the length.
This book is like 800 pages. And I’ve read long books before but they didn’t FEEL this long you know? I think because this book is a slow burn, it felt longer. The romance was a slow burn and so was the plot. You get tidbits and then more tidbits that counteract the tidbits you did get but nothing felt like ‘WOW that’s crazy’ to keep me extra invested for another 400 pages, you know?
Overall it was a decent read, I’m happy it’s off my TBR and the two weeks of Augtober have finally begun!
Thank you thank you to NetGalley and atria books for letting me read this one early!
