Curse the Fae

Dark Fables: Vicious Faeries, Book 3

By: Natalia Jaster

Narrated by: Tim Campbell, Amanda Leigh Cobb

A monster is holding me prisoner in the land of Faerie.

They call him the lord of the water Fae. I call him a viper.

The tales say Elixir is venomous—and as beautiful as he is brutal. They say he's a cursed soul who wields dark, sinful magic.

As punishment for stumbling into his dangerous world, the ruler of the river has confined me to an underground realm of serpentine creatures and secret canals.

The key to escape rests with my fatal enemy. To win my freedom, I'll have to play his wicked mind games—and unlock his greatest weakness.

It's a risk I must take–even if it means being trapped with my villainous Fae captor. And even if it means fighting off the forbidden heat that ignites between us.

If I don't make it out alive, his sensual touch might deliver the killing blow.

Curse the Fae is the third book in Natalia Jaster's sexy fantasy romance series, Dark Fables: Vicious Faeries. If you like heavy steam, forbidden enemies to lovers, and a grumpy sunshine slow burn between a rebellious mortal and a hot, brooding shifter, prepare to swoon like a human. This is a spicy new adult fantasy romance intended for mature listeners.

Flirty subtle banter

Narration
Amanda Leigh Cobb narration was captivating and the accent helped with the fae language. This kept me glamoured with this book. I liked how you could feel the different emotions from the narrator. I loved how this character has a lisp which definitely helped me feel like i was listening to a new character. Tim Campbell even though he only narrated a chapter, it was a narration that caught my attention. I look forward to hearing him more throughout this series and in the finally book. One more book until the men's POV.

Story
This story follows the final sister, Cove, and the river fae, Elixir. This book is a slow burn compared to the other books. I absolutely love the inclusivity of this book. The Fae is blind and not born blind but cursed blind. So this fae has to adapt to this characteristic. Cove is very empathic when it comes to the creatures but a little more than her other sisters. There are some things that felt expected this book but it didn't stop me from continuing the story itself. I absolutely loved the multitude of characters and creatures/species that are in this book.

Definitely recommend!

Great audiobook!!

The audiobook rendition of Curse the Fae was perfect! The narrators did a great job bringing Cove and Elixir’s story to life and if your looking for a spicy fantasy romance audiobook this book and we’ll really the entire series is perfect!

I am obsessed with Natalia’s writing. Each book I read by her completely draws me in and this book was no different. Her prose are so whimsical and packed with raw feelings and emotions. Her descriptions paint the most vivid scenes as they plays out that you can almost taste, feel, smell and see what’a going on as you absorb the words.

Cove and Elixer have a past that is based more on hatred than the other lovers we know from the other books and because of that their trust doesn’t come quite as freely or quickly. This is a high tension slow burn that will give you everything you want!

A lot more erotica

Not so much story as a lot of erotic scenes which is fine if you like lots of that… I would’ve liked to have gotten to know the other characters more
