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 manš„µ 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.
