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?

Wow!!!

I loved every minute of it!! It’s really is entertaining the whole entire time. It’s also not predictable which is soo refreshing!

Performance was just okay

The female narrator annoyed me with the way she enunciated her Ts. It was super distracting. I love a duet narration but the males voice was almost a whisper that I had to increase the volume then the female was screaming in my ear. The story was sort of lost on me because of it. Maybe I would have liked it better if not audio. Also, I’m just not into the kink at the end. Felt too close to monster smut. Not my style.

Perfection

I read this book for the first time 2 months ago, and I loved it so much I had to preorder the audio book and listen immediately! I can’t explain to you how much I loved this book the second time around. The narrators truly brought these characters alive for me, and I truly fear I will never find a more perfect book!

Yes, yes, YES!!! You need this!!!

First things first, I’m going to need more duets from Rylee & Christian!!! I think this was Christian’s first Romantasy and he did a great job with all of the voices and dialects but ESPECIALLY Amon!!!! Turn down your A/C before listening because 🔥!! Rylee, is amazing and I felt every emotion through her performance! These 2 are pros!

Please do yourself a favor and get the audiobook even if the actual book lost you due to it’s complexity. I blame myself for DNR too fast on the book because I couldn’t remember which time I was in, but ALL of my confusion was put to bed thanks to the incredible voice actors and I fell in love with this story!! It was incredibly entertaining and deep and the character development was chefs kiss (even if some things stay a mystery until later, they’re worth the wait).

So yes, I highly recommend! Incredible author and voice acting talent!!! 💯

DO IT!

Saw so many mixed reviews. I’m so glad I listened to the audio. I was very into this story and the performance made it even better. It’s definitely not a story you can skim especially how it goes back and forth between the same characters in different periods. I love how it unfolded and the mmc is a new top for me. One of those stories where you feel the ups and downs too. Crazy enough I didn’t want it to end. it was so good!

great love story

this is an amazing love story. At first I didn't like the female narrator because I thought she sounded bored but after getting through the book I can honestly say both narrators did an amazing job considering they did the voices of other characters and actually sounded different.

Amazing, Spicy, plot twist filled, emotional wild Ride

4🌶️. This book is long and I enjoyed every minute of it! The twists and turns of the story keep you intrigued and guessing. Even if you guess some of the twists you can’t catch them all. This was a beautiful story and unlike anything I have read before. The male narrator had an interesting voice that didn’t totally match my idea of the character but I still enjoyed the audio. The ending seemed a bit rushed and one ploy point left open made me search for a book 2. So I think the pacing and thoroughness of the ending kept me from giving it 5 stars.

Story

Unique story at first but lost interest half way through as it became very predictable.

Great suspenseful storyline! Excellent narration!!

The storyline had me constantly wanting to jump to the end and find out what the heck was going to happen...but I don't do that, so I didn't. The 3 timeliness was not difficult to follow, and the characters are very well written. Narration is fantastic. Both narrators do wonderful job of portraying each different character they read. I 100% recommend!

It was a wild ride… in every way!

This was not what I expected and I think it’s a good thing. In a lot of ways the story surprised me and kept me enthralled, even when I felt like I was drowning in the plot. Excellent narrators. Rylee’s and Christian’s capacity to change the listener’s relationship with each character was a pleasant surprise and seamless. Still reeling from this wild ride!
