Fairies Never Fall: MM Fantasy Romance

Honestly. The climax felt a bit lackluster to me as the details weren’t descriptive enough in my opinion. And don’t even get me started on the epilogue because it’s really a HFN not an HEA because of the abrupt end to the story. This is my first book by the author & the writing was very interesting & I will also admit that I may be comparing this book to a different one by another author which is definitely not a fair assessment. I did find it interesting that the author chose to make all fairies basically flightless though it seemed to diminish Lysander’s lack of a fourth wing, instead of bringing him forward & making him truly an oddity within the monster realm to then make his choices stand out more because honestly Ezra was the more interesting and developed character as were some of the monsters who worked at the bar, making Lysander a forgettable character for me. It’s too bad because I don’t see myself picking this book up to read it if I owned it.

I enjoyed this new world, but where do we go from here? Presumably more humans will be brought into this world of monsters that is living in (Almost)plain sight amongst humans. The world built here is unique and was fun to read about but a few things missed the mark for me. Ezra is human and is suddenly thrust into this world of monsters that he never knew existed, yet he doesn’t need to be taught what any of them are? I read a lot of supernatural fiction yet there were several monsters depicted here that I’ve never heard of or don’t know much about or the author decided to do her own spin on it, yet barely any of the monsters are ever explained to Ezra. Somehow, though, he is able to identify many of them on sight. And the author doesn’t explain many of them so we’re just supposed to know what they are? Even though I praised the world building , I’m realizing now that I enjoyed the uniqueness but c’mon, you gotta cover the basics. We’re flying blind here! And a few things were brought up early but barely explored. Lysander’s skin is poisonous to other supernatural (are they all fae?) so he can’t be touched, right? It’s a good setup for him being touched starved and enjoying being restrained and liking humans, who can touch him. But we’re told and not shown. He lives in a crowded bar and is somehow able to navigate crowded dance floors without ever touching a soul. And then at other times, lots of people touch him, but just briefly or with gloves on, so they’re okay? If…

I loved this story it was super sweet to read and a very light hearted read which was what I was looking for. I recommend this as a cute little feel good book
