Fairydale

A Dark Gothic Fantasy Romance

De: Veronica Lancet

Narrado por: Rylee Kuberra, Christian J. Gilliland

A mysterious inheritance draws orphaned teacher Darcy O’Sullivan to the eerie coastal town of Fairydale, where she becomes entangled in a deadly love triangle while facing an ancient evil that could destroy them all in this haunting and seductive blend of gothic horror and historical fantasy.

“I might be evil personified, but you’re the only one I’ll ever be good to.”

August 1955: When Miss Darcy O’Sullivan, an orphaned English teacher from Boston, receives a letter finding out that her biological father passed away, she is surprised to find herself included in his will. There is only one condition. She must travel to Fairydale to attend his funeral.

With the promise of a sizeable inheritance, Darcy decides to journey to the small coastal town that holds the secrets of her birth. But the moment she steps foot into Fairydale, things start to go amiss. There are odd rumors, odd deaths, and even odd men—especially brooding Caleb Hale—part of the infamous Hale family.

During the day, she falls deeper and deeper under Caleb’s spell as he forces her to step out of her comfort zone and embrace her inner sensuality. But at night, it’s another man who haunts her dreams—Amon d’Artan, a nobleman who lived two centuries ago. Amon is sweet and suave where Caleb is intense and dangerous. Soon, she finds herself embroiled in a web of lies, deceit, and inexplicable events that make her question her sanity. And when an ancient evil threatens the town and everything Darcy holds dear, she must make the ultimate choice. But will she survive it?

Very entertaining

Great story, Kept me listening. Loved the narrators performance. Liked the deep male voice and loved the female narrator. So happy this was duet. Really made the story come alive. Really enjoyed this audiobook!

Great journey for romantasy girlies

I love a good mystery and this one was so elaborately done. Really execited to read more for this author. As someone who needs to be in the middle of an audio book at all times this tale was long and interesting the entire listen. I am not as affected by triggers so please keep that in mind. Lots of trauma here so be warned but masterfully written in my opinon.

Impressive story

This story was a straight up rollercoaster. Goes from innocent to haunted house to demons to sci-fi, all while hitting many other tropes in between. My only complaint is the female voice actor. She has the whole whistling/hissing her S’s thing and it’s a genuine pet peeve of mine. I read the story more than listened to it because I couldn’t stand her voice. The male voice actor was phenomenal though and his accents impeccable.

The BEST audiobook I’ve listened to in a LONG time!

These narrators knocked this massive book out of the park. Normally I speed up the narration of audiobooks because I’m also following along with the ebook and don’t need it to be at a slower speed. But man… 1.6x speed on this audiobook was the sweet spot for me. Christian Gilliand is so underrated and I hope this audiobook will get him the praise he deserves. Often male narrators have too deep of a voice for me.. or not deep enough. But his voice is so perfect. I would listen to him read his grocery list. The female narrator also did such a great job. They truly brought this book to life. I found myself wishing every audiobook was this good and took my time finishing this because I didn’t want it to end.

The story itself was also so good. It was beautifully written and I enjoyed watching it all come together. In the beginning of the book, the preface tells you that this is NOT the book to skim over anything and Lancet wasn’t lying!! You need to be 100% invested in the story or you will miss important information. It took me about 4 days to finish this when a book this size would normally take me 2-3 days. I still enjoyed every minute of it and cannot wait to read more of her books!

Unexpectedly Great

I didn’t have a lot of background when I first started the book and it progressively evolved into a very interesting tale that takes you across time. Enjoyed it!

Best love story ever!

Amon is the best!!! Writing is beautiful!! Love the audible version!!! I hope she writes more with this story!!!

the mystery

the moment I knew caleb was Amon was agony to wait for Darcy (Sela) to find out about her husband. it was also torture to find out about her true worth, and her true identity but it was the greatest book I have ever listened to. I also shed a few tears when I realized Amon must have been in so much pain while waiting for his wife to come back. but still, it was the best.

OH AAMON 😈

This story was a chaotic crazy ride. Honestly the first part of the book I was confused. BUT Veronica’s writing keeps you hooked. This book was so sensual and passionate. The audiobook was TOP TIER. Holy cow the narrators were HAWT. It was So good ✨

Ahhhhh!! So good!

I’m only half way through and LOVE it. I was eagerly waiting for this audiobook, I wish the narration was better!!!

Intriguing story

Long but worth it. Narrators did a great job! For someone that wants something different. Halfway pulls you more and more in.
