A Modern, Festive Fairy Tale Novella

By: H. L. Macfarlane

Narrated by: Broghanne Jessamine

She didn’t want to be alone at the most wonderful time of the year. When he shows up, she may decide to rethink that

London, England. Charlotte Connors is tired of asking for a man, only to find coal in her stocking. Emboldened by a little liquid courage, she gives up on Father Christmas and uses her grandmother’s old book to summon a faerie plus-one for the holiday party. But when against all odds it actually works, Charlotte finds herself face-to-face with a foul-mouthed, hungover hitman.

Bain was looking to sleep it off after taking revelling to new heights at the Winter Solstice. Instead, the acerbic assassin is stuck with a naïve, pathetic human who doesn’t even have a target in mind. But since she owes him a favour if he does her bidding, the clever killer strikes a deal that will allow him to finally take revenge for a broken contract.

Though he gets under her skin with each four-letter word, Charlotte can’t help being drawn to her temporary paranormal paramour. But just as Bain starts to fall for the foolish mortal, he discovers the object of his vengeance is her boss.

Can this mismatched pair somehow snowball into happily ever after?

All I Want for Christmas is a Faerie Assassin?! is a cheerful romantic comedy novella. If you like modern takes on folktales, humorous otherworldly fantasies and Yuletide wishes gone crazy then you’ll love H. L. Macfarlane’s festive tale.

Be Careful What You Wish For

I was entertained by this story. I thought the setting was fabulous as the story took place in London during the Christmas season. I liked Charlotte Connors as she was a typical, modern-day girl who only wanted a date for the holiday season. Although Bain was not really my idea of the perfect date, the more I listened to his story, the more I liked him. I enjoyed their tumultuous relationship. I appreciated Broghanne Jessamine's narration as her performance added to the characters' realism. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Very cute book with twist

This book was a very good book. Had a cute vibe and had a good twist. Did feel like the ending was fast and wanted more of the ending. Wanted more of the side characters storyline

started cozy, ended... not

This one started off cozy, and had mostly cozy vibes, but towards the end it became.. not cozy. I enjoyed most of the book, regardless of the tropes I am not fond of, but the ending was.. not for me.

CHRISTMAS ASSASSIN

A FUN QUICK STORY ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN WHO SUMMONS A FAIRY FOR A BOYFRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS AND ENDS UP WITH A FAIRY ASSASSIN. THE BOOK DOES HAVE SOME HEAT. BUT IT WAS A FUN LISTEN. NARRATOR DID A FANTASTIC JOB!

Quick and witty

This is a fun one! Definitely not what I expected and a nice quick listen with great characters and a solid story line that is full and complete and narration really made this so much more entertaining.

Charlotte and Bain

Charlotte and Bain

What do you do when you need a pretend boyfriend quickly? Well, summon a fairie of course! Charolotte needed someone to pretend to be her boyfriend for the weekend. That is the direction she gives the fairie. Bain, the fairie is more used to be summoned to kill people, and other dastardly deeds. The two approach the situation from completely different expectations. It is a fun and quick story. It was enjoyable, and is a different spin on a romance. The narration was well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Giggle worthy

She didn't want a faerie assissin. All she wanted was a faerie fake boyfriend! She got foul mouthed, hungover assissin Bain! This rom com had me giggling throughout. So good. So fun. So clever.

I listened to the Audible version of this book gifted to me from the author through Story Origin. The narration was very appropriately heavily British accented. Sometimes I struggled to understand it. (My problem, not the narrator's .) But, I would have liked the male voices to be more masculine. So 4 stars for her.

Great audiobook

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook this story is a great story and the Narrator did a great job with this story I very much enjoyed this audiobook
