House of Lies and Sorrow: Fae of Rewyth Book 1

Dance with the Fae Prince meets Cruel Beauty in this Young Adult Arranged Marriage Fae Fantasy.

Jade Farrow will die tomorrow. Her fate was decided years ago, when her useless father made a deal with the greedy fae king to save his own life. Now, she is being sent to marry one of the five ruthless fae princes. The only problem is that she is not the first human to marry a fae prince. And like every human wife before her, Jade is going to be killed before she can find a way out.

Malachi Weyland is the heir to the fae throne. It’s the reason his brothers have despised him all these years, and it’s the reason his father is adamant on finding him a human wife. Malachi has one job, and that is to unite the fae and human lands. But Malachi has a secret, and it’s one that gives him his rightful name amongst both the human and fae lands: The Prince of Shadows.

Jade and Malachi are faced with life-or-death challenges as Jade is thrown into Malachi’s magical world. Will she die just like every wife before her? Or will Malachi, the same fae who is feared across all of Rewyth, be the one to save her life?

Show no weakness. Yield no mercy. House of Lies and Sorrow is a fast-paced, arranged-marriage story between born enemies who are forced to work together. Readers who love slow-burn, angsty enemies-to-lovers stories between a broody fae prince and a stubborn human bride will love this magical first installment of the Fae of Rewyth series!

Another new author

I had a great time with this book. I am a sucker for the one horse trope and it was in here. I really liked the male narrator in this book. Malachi as the male main character, and Jade as female main character was a great pair. Im intrigued and need more.

loved it

love the story can't wait for the next book. Jade is a sassy and Mal 😍

The voice acting ruins this

The male voice actor sounds like horrid AI. This is either a computer or this man is trying WAY too hard to be sexy… constantly… for no reason. Female voice actor was better…. But some of her male voices are just overdone, she does drunk man as thought she doesn’t know what it is to be drunk lol I honestly might not be able to finish this book because of the narration

AWFUL narration

I’m only an hour in, and I’m really not sure I can finish. The female narrator is great, but the male narrator is truly the worst I’ve ever heard. I wish I could tell him to drop the bedroom voice and just talk normally. It’s just terrible to listen to…weirdly whiney and breathy at the same time.

so many twists

this book kept me on my toes..
no spoilers. butttt....
this is a book about a girl who is promised to a fae prince who's reputation precedes him as a cruel and deadly man
the FMC Jade will do what is asked but can she live long enough.
No one knows who to trust. and she trust her husband. his family. her family.
everytime you think you have it figured out you don't
I can't wait for the next book.
the narrators let me say are 💋 😘.. Corvin and Allie are a fantastic duo. the make me feels the characters.. Allie with Jades angst and fiery personality and Corvin with the mystery of Malachi. I am adding these 2 to my favorite narrators list which is exciting to see them progress

Narration was awful.

I really didn’t like how there was more than one narrator for the entire story, yet they chose to allow both the female narrator to narrate all the male voices during her chapters and the male narrator to narrate all the female characters voices during his chapters (horribly, might I add!)

Also. The male narration was just off. His tone of voice, inflections, all very weird and disingenuous.

Narrator awful and shrill at times

The different voices were awkward. I couldn't get fully immersed into the story because the narration was so bad.

Good plot so far…

The voice acting kind of threw me off, the make narrator is trying super hard to have a gruff voice. But good plot so far, good enough to have me reading the second book.

Good story, male narrator was rough

I was hoping for spicier, but overall, I thought it was a decent read/listen. The male narrator chose the worst voice for Mal. It was slow and throaty, like he was trying to sound sexy but instead, it just sounded awful. I read over all of the Malachi chapters on Kindle Unlimited so that I didn't have to listen to the male's voice.

Great story! Poor performance.

This is the first book that I have listened to by Emily Blackwood. I have really enjoyed the story and look forward to listening to the rest of the series. The only thing I will say is the voice actor that reads for Malachi makes it very hard to keep listening. I have almost stopped it a couple times. This may be harsh, but, I listen to between 30 and 50 books per year, and his performance might be the worst I’ve ever heard.
