Beneath the Cursed Veil

Faeted Seasons, Book 1

De: Aurelia Jane, Kel Carpenter

Narrado por: Scott Rose, Savannah Gilmore

My captor, my enemy, and my fated mate.

I’m the best bounty hunter in the business. I find lost artifacts that people would kill to possess. I’m also broke. When a notorious leprechaun offers me a job I can’t refuse, I realize too late I’m not hunting an object.

The contract was simple; steal the prince, escape unseen.

Spoiler alert: I failed. Horribly.

The moment I step into the fae kingdom beyond the veil, I feel it—someone watching me. Waiting for me.

King Vareck.

He’s nothing like I imagined—fierce, unyielding, and as cursed as the frozen lands of Faerie. An ice-cold ruler whose very presence bends the room to his will. He shouldn’t care about a thief like me, but we have one thing in common.

Vareck is more than just a king—he’s the man who has haunted my dreams for years.

And apparently, I’ve been in his too.

The difference?

He’s been searching the nine realms for me, and I never thought he was real.

Now that he’s found me, he has no intention of letting me go.

*Beneath the Cursed Veil is sarcastically funny, fantasy romance novel with steam. This is book one in the Faeted Seasons: Winter duet.*

Loved it

Loved it. Unique, fast paced and funny. I recommend to all who want a fun quick ride.

Great story and interesting romance dynamic

I enjoy a lot of the work kel does and this was another great semi dark romance with great back story. Leaves you wanting to read the next one like the demons of Chicago series

Decent Story

This sounded like it was recorded on a phone, or a really low quality system. I did not like the female narrators voice, but the male was good. They both had very different volumes which was really annoying to have to keep changing my volume as I listened, and I had to listen at 1.7 speed because it was slow.

I liked this story, but it wasnt something that was super gripping. It was nice background noise, and a decent enough story. I liked the premise of a female bounty hunter and other magical beings, which gave D&D vibes, but there wasnt a lot of depth to this story and it felt incomplete.
