The Fell of Dark

De: Caleb Roehrig

Narrado por: Michael Crouch, Jennifer Van Dyck

What's a boy to do - in Caleb Roehrig's YA paranormal romance The Fell of Dark - when his crush is a hot vampire with a mystery to solve?

The only thing August Pfeiffer hates more than algebra is living in a vampire town.

Located at a nexus of mystical energy fields, Fulton Heights is practically an electromagnet for supernatural drama. And when a mysterious (and annoyingly hot) vampire boy arrives with a cryptic warning, Auggie suddenly finds himself at the center of it.

An ancient and terrible power is returning to the earthly realm, and somehow Auggie seems to be the only one who can stop it.

exhausting

Things I liked about this book: the plentiful queer rep, the few dashes of humor, and the first...four (maybe) chapters.

I am so disappointed at how much I did not enjoy this book. Mystery, horror, dark fantasy, the supernatural...those things are my JAM and unfortunately this story was only decorated as such. This fell into the same old stereotypical storyline that most supernatural stories are made up of where there’s a surprise society with rules. Literally every chapter was about the SAME thing. I listened to the same conversation for 9 hours. The characters had no depth. I did not care about a single person. There was no point or moral to the story. The only thing I felt afterwards was “thank god it’s over”. The author TELLS you everything. It’s like the reader isn’t trusted to put clues together or understand the text, or isn’t allowed to question it??? I never felt emotion because I was told what emotions to feel. Do you get what I’m saying? No showing happening in this story. Speaking of clues, there was no mystery. Everything drugged on for so long that any reveal made lost its punch. I just didn’t care. This was literally all boring plot and no character. No chemistry between any of the characters. Too many similes and metaphors. No character was allowed to just SAY anything my god. I got an actual headache multiple times pushing myself through this. Everything was just so...flat. And like, I get that the MC is a teenage boy but do I really need to know he has an erection every 2 pages. Is that really necessary. So much potential, every ounce of it dropped. This is not fun or weird. Just bleh. And like....none of the MC’s felt flawed??? Idk. Annoying. Let things be more vague and loose. Give me more character. Gah.

OMG

WHERE IS THE SEQUAL!!!!!!! I devoured this book and NEED another fix lol, everything about the book made my knees weak, Caleb Roehrig is my new fav author, no joke, if you’ve ever wondered why gay guys complain about female authors not getting being a guy, and totally missing the boat(which I do frequently) just read this book and find out how it should be done....the MC was his own hero, he didn’t wait for some love interest to save the day, he was vulnerable without appearing weak or spineless, maybe it’s cause Calebs kinda hot, not sure lol but this story and these characters went above and BEYOND any and all expectations.......great job to the narrators also, course I can’t go wrong with Michael Crouch,;-) please PLEASE tell me there’s more coming...not even necessarily from this world but from this author!!!!

very enjoyable!

very enjoyable on all accounts. well written well played highly recommended!! All the characters were very thought out and had excellent arcs.

it is something but it's working on something

the story is okay it's long and maybe a few chapters before you can take the juicy parts but over all it's okay

Surprisingly original, well written.

genuinely enjoyed this one more than most recent books i read. Vibe wise its pretty similar to buffy, but lore wise incredibly well thought and original!
