Of Fae and Wicked Kings

Wicked Fae, Book 1

De: Jada McCrary

Narrado por: Grace Noble, Gregory Salinas, Anthony Palmini

A human, a fae warrior, and the wicked Unseelie king walk into a bar. Just kidding. There is no bar. But there is a quest to find a missing queen. And tension. Lots of tension.

When she and her love, Rowan, went to the Unseelie Court, Gwyndolin only intended to ask the Unseelie king to stop his fae from attacking the humans and Seelie fae. She did not intend for him to insert himself into their quest to find the high queen. But who can say no to the wicked High King Aspen? He takes what he wants, and he doesn’t care who he hurts in the process.

His magic may be useful, but his arrogant, flirtatious attitude may cause a rift between her and Rowan. She hates Aspen, and he seems to only want to antagonize her. So, why does it seem like there’s something else he’s hiding? And will it threaten everything when she finds out?

This novella, set in the realm of the Fae-blessed series but sometime before that series, is full of love, betrayal, and villains. Who doesn’t love villains?

Prepare to fall in love with the villain.

This novella was initially released in the Romancing the Rogue: Falling for the Bad Boy Villain anthology, now with two more chapters, character art, and bonus scenes! While this book is shorter, the rest of the series will be full-length novels.

Great narration, sensual, and interesting plot

I found the book interesting and more of a set up for another story. It was much more sensual than expected but still closed door. If you like morally grey MMC leads, fae worlds, and royal intrigue, it's for you.

Review time!

This was my very first audiobook and to say I was very intrigued and loved it was an understatement. I had already read this book by itself but listening to it as an audiobook was so interesting. Lemme just say when the voice for our high king came on I was giggling like a mad man and melting I was like yesssss sir let’s gooo!! I loved it!!! And his guard fife? Ooof. Ahhh I loved this as my first audiobook and I had a fun time for sure! Everyone give this a read I thought it was fantastic!

quick listen

Gwyn (a human) and Rowan (seelie) go to the unseelie king seeking help to find the seelie high queen. It's a quick listen if you like or prefer something shorter.

Villain Gets the Girl Never Sounded So Good

I absolutely loved this quick little listen. Grace is amazing as usual. Gregory brings all the swoon to Aspen as the wicked Unseelie King. And Anthony's Rowan? Oh man! He brings just enough sweetness at the beginning that as the listener you believe him along with Gywn.

One thing that I loved was that Rowan's and Aspen's dialogue each came through one ear, and then at THAT twist, they switched! So you keep one ear for the male that you love and one ear for the male you hate. And you can hear just how crazed and unhinged that one male gets as the story progresses, and especially in the epilogue. So Amazing!

Great & Fast Paced

Excellent short read so glad I got the opportunity to listen to this on audiobook and get an introduction into the story. There’s a lot that happens even in this short beginning and it definitely hooks you to see what might happen in the novels to come. I do recommend that you read the trigger warnings. While there is a kidnapping in the book, it’s not as traumatic as you would think a kidnapping would be. I would recommend this book to those who love Fae stories and Fae adventures and trickery, and that whole type of culture of fantasy adventure with a touch of romance.
