Review, Excerpt, & Giveaway: Lera of Lunos by Alex Lidell

Posted January 18th 2019 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Excerpts, Giveaways, Reviews /

The Faerie Queen’s review The series is now over! Last year, I discovered reverse harem, and one that stood out to me was Alex Lidell’s Power of Five. You can read my reviews of Power of Five, Mistake of Magic, and Trial of Three to see how this series kept delivering just what I wanted! And not just beautiful, colourful covers. Remember when the trials were Lera’s biggest problem? Well, the final trial was nothing in comparison to the real struggle introduced in Trial of Three. There were basically two tense plot scenes: the final trial in the first quarter and the showdown at the end. I honestly had no idea how that final showdown would work out, and I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out, even though one point was a bit …convenient. (I have questions, m’kay.) You’re probably then wondering what was going on in the middle of those […]

Guest Post: Darcie Boleyn, author of Love at the Northern Lights, on why you should visit Norway

Posted December 12th 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Guest Posts /

Hi everyone! We have a special guest post for you from Darcie Boleyn, author of Love at the Northern Lights! Today, author will be sharing why you should visit Norway. Then read her book to see visit it in your imagination before you book your flights! Why visit Norway? Love at the Northern Lights is dedicated to my dad and to the dreams we shared. The story isn’t about him, or me, but it was inspired by our conversations and our bucket list. My dad was one of my best friends and we always planned on travelling together. Norway was one of the places we talked about visiting. With its mountains, glaciers and deep coastal fjords, it sounded perfect. There would be the chance to see authentic Viking ships in Oslo’s museum, to take a cruise on the Sognedfjord – Norway’s longest and deepest fjord – and to hike and ski. And, of course, there […]

Review & Excerpt: The Other Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Posted December 2nd 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Excerpts, Reviews /

The Faerie Queen’s’s review This book was an utter delight. So much so that I did not want to stop reading, even when I had to get off the train to see friends or go to sleep so I could function at work the next day. Because, dear readers, the banter in this book was excellent. Andrew was such a tease at times, the innuendos flowing gloriously. And Poppy kept falling into his little traps, until she was winning points of her own. I was in heaven reading their dialogue. What I loved most about Andrew was that, even though he found Poppy rather annoying at first, he was always a gentleman. But not too much of a gentleman. He could play around with his words, but he always ensured he didn’t take things too far, and that at the end of the day, Poppy was safe and sound and not too unhappy with […]

Review & Giveaway: Game All Night by Lauren Helms

Posted November 27th 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Giveaways, Reviews /

The Faerie Queen’s review Link and Ruby finally have their story. All that bickering is coming to fruition. Hallelujah. Do you know when you can see a car wreck coming, and time slows down? You can’t look away? That’s what reading this book was like. In a good way of course. But also a sort of terrible, angsty way. You see, both Link and Ruby are dating other people at the start of this book, and both of those relationships are not ideal. Link, on the one hand, is with someone only superficially interested in him. That’s easy enough to understand, right? He wants Amber because he doesn’t want anything serious. (Also, he totally wants Ruby from the beginning, let’s not kid ourselves.) And she wants Link (or should I say, “Lincoln”) because he’s rich and famous. Whatever. I get it. I won’t judge. What’s harder for me not to […]

Review, Excerpt, Playlist, & Giveaway: Feels Like Falling by Elle Keating

Posted November 13th 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Excerpts, Giveaways, Reviews /

The Faerie Queen’s review Well that was a lot more angsty and messed up than I was expecting. Before I get started, this book comes with a massive trigger warning – and I don’t care if this is spoilery because it needs to be – for child abuse and rape. The instances are described and explored in enough detail to (hopefully) make the most sheltered, blessed-with-a-perfect-life reader squirm uncomfortably. That being said, I did enjoy reading this book. Enjoy doesn’t really feel like the right word, actually… I felt compelled to read it is probably more appropriate. Even with all the darker parts bringing things down, I needed to know that Luke and Peyton made it through ok. Luckily, the connection between them was strong, the heat palpable. While a lot of scenes upset me, there were plenty that made me feel uncomfortable…in a good way. A few things did […]

Review & First Chapter: I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Posted November 1st 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Excerpts, Reviews /

The Faerie Queen’s review First thing’s first, this book is clearly dedicated to me. You can read the dedication in the Amazon preview, and there you will find a description of me. Second, this gif basically sums up my expression over and over during this book. Here are just a few of my creepy grin triggers… Being a romance novel, the most important aspect is the relationship between the hero and heroine. Well, this book had me on edge. The chemistry. It was insane. And they didn’t dooooo anythinnnnggggg for ages except stare at each other and have intense silences and sparks and uuuughhhhh. My heart. Every time I thought they’d actually act on the very palpable attraction, they’d Do The Right Thing. Ryker was a damn boy scout, really. Even when he messed up, he was quick to apologise and try to make things right. Aside from The Secret, they were […]

First Chapter & Giveaway: Hush by A.M. Salinger

Posted October 17th 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Excerpts, Giveaways /

Happy Hump Day! 😉 And happy release week to Hush by A.M. Salinger! Get started with this steamy novella down below because I’ve got the first chapter for you! Plus, you could win an Amazon gift card and signed paperbacks of the book. About the book Chapter 1 Lana Keele stirred and slowly blinked her eyes open. Searing light filled her vision. She winced and twisted her head, a mumbled curse tumbling past her lips. A wave of dizziness swept over her; her stomach clenched painfully. Lana froze and swallowed the rush of bile shooting up her throat. Hot daggers stabbed at her temples. She moaned softly. It was a moment before she realized she was lying on her front on a bed. She stared blearily at the crisp white pillow in her line of sight before rolling over carefully onto her side. She studied the room she was in with […]

Excerpt: Player by Staci Hart

Posted October 16th 2018 by The Faerie Queen in Blog Tours, Excerpts /

I’m in the middle of reading Piece of Work starring Rin, and I am loving it. Seriously. I’ll have a review up for you guys soon. In the meantime, the next book in the collection was released a few days ago, and I’m here to tease you with an excerpt, this time featuring Rin’s friend Val! So sit back and enjoy a little piece of Player by Staci Hart. About the book Excerpt The night flew by, time speeding up and sliding past with nothing to mark the hours but his laughter and my smiles and our bodies bouncing around the parquet like we had nothing in the world to do but dance. I had no idea how late it was until “New York, New York” came on with the house lights. Sam hooked me under his arm and guided me out into the chilly fall evening. Like an idiot, I’d come […]

Happy release day to Crazy Scottish Love by Jessie Donovan! I have an excerpt for you to give you a taste, plus Jessie has an epic giveaway for you to enter. up for grabs is not just an Amazon gift card, but also a scarf and some Scottish goodies! About the book Excerpt A car came into view and he pushed aside all dreams and worries. Since the make and model of the car matched what he’d seen in a picture sent via text, it meant Paris and Donella had arrived. Exiting the car with their supper in hand, he waited for Paris to park and he met Donella’s gaze through the front windscreen. With her hair pulled back and a smile on her lips, she was bloody beautiful. Donella jumped out and tried to casually stroll over to him. Biting back a smile, he said, “You’re late.” He took in her […]
