Love Pixies

Laugh out Loud Paranormal Chick Lit Romantic Comedy

By: Carol Maloney Scott

Narrated by: Rosie O'Toole

For three lifelong best friends, a college graduation trip to Ireland is supposed to be their last hurrah before starting their jobs, and taking on the stresses and responsibilities of adult life. Heather, Tiffany, and Amanda are on a mission to turn the Emerald Isle upside down...or at least wreak a little havoc, drink a wee bit too much, and kiss hunky Irish boys...before returning to their hometown of Chicago.

When Rhiannon, a powerful fairy, pays a surprise visit to their adorable, thatched-roof rental cottage in County Clare, and persuades them to sign one-year Love Pixie contracts, their lives are drastically altered. Newly armed with fantastical superpowers, charmed necklaces, and the ability to turn ordinary substances into enchanted pixie dust, the girls join together to fight "love crime" and help assigned couples on the brink of disaster build bridges back to happiness. It all sounds quite exciting, until they realize that learning how to use powerful magic is not only time consuming, overwhelming, and confusing - it’s not easy to hide from their family, co-workers, and most importantly - potential love interests.

To complicate matters even more, the trio is repeatedly tempted by the fairy’s rebellious sister, Aideen, who challenges them to break the rules. Perhaps if they listen to the "bad fairy" they can finish their assignment quicker...and get back to work...and play...before anyone is the wiser.

However, the girls were raised to know that there are consequences to bad behavior - at least in the non-magical world. Afraid to ask if there is such a thing as magical jail, the two more sensible Pixies hope to rein in their most wayward partner - before their contracts are terminated...and their couple’s relationship implodes into a pile of ordinary dust.

Interesting idea

Irish pixie magic. A group of friends are chosen to become love pixies. They have a mission and magic to learn. I enjoyed this book. It was long and supplied a lot of background story which I felt was unnecessary but overall a fun read. Rosie O’Toole is a very good narrator and enchanted the story.

This is fun, entertaining and has an amusing charm to it.

*Audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Love the Love Pixies

I really loved this book - a unique story line that I really enjoyed although I thought that the writing / delivery of the storyline could have been a little bit better - it jumped from a narration to first person back to narration which wasn't bad but I think could have been better. Anyway - I loved these characters as well as the story line, at times I felt that it was a bit rushed but really - this is such a cute, fun, sweet read. I loved the narrator and the Irish accent she brings was great! I'm really looking forward to reading / listening to more by Scott!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Fantasy and Reality perfectly intertwined!

I stumbled upon Carol's books a few years ago. I have read all of her Rom-Com from the Edge series and have loved them all. I have laughed, cried, felt like I was a part of these women's lives. When she announced she was writing a book with fairies, I was pretty hesitant. Fantasy and Mysticism isn't my cup of tea. Instead, I loved it!!! Carol took her trademark humor and Rom-Com style and added fairies to it. I try not to give away any spoilers in my reviews, so I will just give you the gist of things. 3 best friends graduate college and decide to take a trip to Ireland. While on that trip they are chosen by a fairy to become the Love Pixies. It is their duty to help couples they are assigned to find they way back to each other, help rekindle their relationship. Not only do they need to deal with learning how to use their newly acquired magical powers, each of them are starting new post-graduate careers and looking for their own love interests. Each of the Pixies has a distinct personality that works with the others and helps to balance their groups. While getting their magical feet wet, they end up in hysterical situations. This is a story of discovery for each of the girls as well, as they learn where their weaknesses and strengths lie and how they can use them to their benefit. The girls need to learn how to balance their Pixie duties with their every day lives and how to be successful all around. I enjoyed the book tremendously. Just like her Rom-Com from the Edge series, I laughed, I cried, I felt like these girls could have been former students of mine. Carol did a wonderful job meshing fantasy with what could be everyday reality. Can't wait to see if there will be other Love Pixie stories, to see where the girls go with their futures as well as their future assignments. The performer did fantastic with all the pixies, their love interests and the Irish fairies helping them out. There were moments that the voices meshed, but for the most part, you knew exactly who was talking at all times.

Nice escape

I listened to this book while running errands. I found it entertaining and captivating. It has an interesting premise of three young women having magical powers bestowed on them to help others on the brink of disaster build bridges back to happiness.

At times I just wanted to shake Lilia and David. Some people will go to great lengths to get ahead in business to include sabotage.

I thought the spirited Aideen was a good counter to Rhiannon. I liked how the women grew through this contract with the pixies. It was a joy getting to know the three young women.

Loved this story and characters!!

I hope there will be more adventures with the pixies! This was such a fun read! I listened on audible and finished in 2-3 days and only turned it off when I had no choice but to recharge my earbuds. I’m hooked on your stories! I can always see bits of myself and friends as the characters and by the end of the book I feel like if there was a movie and my friends or people Ive known in the case of the villain were cast I’d have the perfect person to play each character. Now I’m going to start reading Something Molly Can’t See!
