[April · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would actually give this collection 4.5 stars.

This is a great collection of books at a great price! It was well worth the purchase even though I already had a few of the books in this collection. There's several different and good takes on the Fae world. If you love fantasy, especially when it includes magic and/or the Fae this collection is for you. I was originally introduced to the Feyland series, A Dark Faerie Tale series, and Otherworld series with other books in their series in the Faery Worlds collection (http://www.amazon.com/Faery-Worlds-Bo...), another great collection at a great price. I highly recommend this Faery Realms collection as awell as the Faery Worlds collection!

THE FAERIE GUARDIAN (CREEPY HOLLOW #1) BY RACHEL MORGAN
Love! Definitely a great read! Filled with plenty of magic, adventure, romance, betrayal, and twists and turns that keep you reading.

Violet is in training to be a guardian. A group of faeries that protect humans from dangerous fae. Everything is going great and she's at the top of her class until her world is turned upside down when she's assigned to Nate a human she's through her glamor and discovers the world of the fae. A very big No No. Now Violet finds herself twisted up in a dangerous plot by evil faeries. She's a strong, intellegent, independent, kick-butt lead.

Morgan has done a great job of creating a vivid world and great bunch of characters that really pull you in and make you a part of their world. I really liked that at the end there were the two bonus chapters from the points of view of Ryn and Nate. It was nice to see things from their perspective. I hope the other books in the series have this as well. I can't wait to read the rest of this series and find out what happens next!

THE WHITHERING PALACE (A DARK FAERIE TALE #0.1) BY ALEXIA PURDY
Alexia Purdy has done it again! Love this series and this just adds to an already great series. In the Dark Faerie Tale series Aveta is the Unseelie queen and definitely the bad guy. But have you ever wondered why the bad guy is the bad guy, what made her the way she is? The Withering Palace takes us back to the beginning when Aveta is just a girl stuck under the eye of her uncaring mother who will do anything to make sure she doesn't survive. Back before her powers were used to rule the Unseelie. We get to see all the hurts and hardships that effected Aveta along her journey to becoming queen.

This is a great (short) book in a great series. If you're starting with this one it will get you hooked. If you've already read part or all of the others then this gives good background into who Aveta is (makes me want to re-read the others, it's been awhile). I highly recommend reading this book as well as the rest of Alexia Purdy's Dark Faerie Tale series!

DARK PROMISE (BETWEEN WORLDS #1) BY JULIA CRANE & TALIA JAGER
Dark Promise has been on my to-read list for awhile and I'm glad I finally read it. A good magical faery book. Julia & Talia have created a magical world that makes me want to find out more. We spend the first part of the book getting to know about Rylie and her human family and friends before she finds out she's not really human and her world is turned upside down when her birth (faery) mother shows up and she completes her transformation as a faery upon turning sixteen. She's then thrust into the faery world and the dangers that come with it (which I don't feel she really understood or tried to understand the gravity of). I don't want to say too much more because I hate for reviews to give away spoilers. As for learning about the Fae world the authors have created, it's mainly focused on faeries and doesn't really describe much about the other inhabitants. The the things that are depicted are described beautifully. Also, Rylie wonders several times about the function of her wings and whether that means she can fly but that's never addressed. Maybe we'll find out in the other books of the series.

FEYLAND: THE FIRST ADVENTURE BY ANTHEA SHARP
This is a short read but a good one, definitely worth it. I actually read this after reading the Feyland trilogy but really should/could be read before the trilogy but even if you're already read the trilogy I still recommend reading it. I also just re-read it as part of the Faery Realms collection and found just as good the second time around.

Feyland is a magical realm that is accessed through a SIM computer game. Jennet, the main character and a top gamer, sneeks on to the new FullD sim system her dad is working on developing and plays the new top secret game (Feyland) that her "uncle" is the lead game designer for. Instead of playing a full emersion game like she expected instead she's transported into the Fey world where losing a battle may have more dire outcomes than she ever imagined.

If you've already read the triology I still recommend reading this novella. It gives us more information about the Queen's plot to bring Jennet to her as well as how Jennet became the person we see in the later books in the triology. Overall, it gives a good introduction to the events and adventures that lead up to the start of the trilogy and gives you good background info. If you haven't read the Feyland triology this is a great jumping off story that will definitely get you hooked in the cool world Anthea has created with some great characters and that puts a different spin on the stories about the fey world. I definitely recommend this book as well as the rest of the Feyland trilogy and the spin-off series the Feyguard.

BLOOD FAERIE (CALEDONIA FAE #1) BY INDIA DRUMMOND
It took me a bit longer to really get into this book than some of the other faery books I've read but once I got into it I was hooked and had a hard time putting it down. I was pulled into the mystery Eilidh found herself apart of when a dead body is found outside the church where she lives (in Scotland). As a faery who was cast out of the fae kingdom for having powers that are forbidden Eilidh usually spends her days watching humans from a distance but as the strange murders continue and she finds she may have the power to stop them she can't help but get involved.
This book has mystery, intrigue, magic, and a bit of romance. I look forward to finding out what comes next for Eilidh and Munro.

HOOD & FAE (DAUGHTERS OF RED RIDING HOOD) BY TARA MAYA
This is a fun and interesting (quick) read that puts a different spin on fairytales. It's a prequel to the Daughters of Red Riding Hood series. We'reintroduced to Roxy and Bryn, the disendants of Red Riding Hood who are tasked with hunting werewolves, ghouls, and other such bad things. This was a great lead in to what seems like will be a good/interesting series. I look forward to the first full length novel coming out.

THE DARK FAE (THE WORLD OF FAE #1) BY TERRY SPEAR
Another good faery read! Not very long but still worth the read. Terry Spear has created a lovely fae world with a great group of characters. I was quickly drawn into the story and stayed up way too late finishing it. The three main characters, Alicia, Deveron, and Ritasia, are fun and witty and all grew to be likable. The story is full of magic, fun adventure, some twists, and some romance.

Alicia always knew she was different because she could see the fae that showed up to play with the humans. All she knows of the fae world came from a journal her dad left for her before he left when she was 5 yrs old. When Alicia and her friend Cassie are vacationing on South Padre Island a dark fae shows up and Alicia tries to protect Cassie from heartbreak he's sure to inflict on Cassie. Instead she finds herself thrown into the fae world and fearing for her life, for she's knows from her dad's journal that the fae kill her kind (humans that can see the fae). Will she be able to get back to he world? Will she find out more about herself and why she can see the fae?

It would have been nice to know more about the different fae kingdoms. We only get quick glimpses into a few of them. And the romance between Alicia and Deveron seemed rushed. It seems like the author could have made this a longer book (more of a full length novel) to develope these things more especially since this is the start of a series. Maybe we'll learn more about the kingdoms in the other books of the series. Despite these (and my spoiler below) I still enjoyed the story and think it's worth the read. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing what happens next with Deveron, Alicia, and Ritasia.

*SPOILER ALERT* (sorry I don't know how to hide just a bit of the review.)
One thing that kind of bugged me was how at the end once Alicia's grandfather gave her permission to go back to hang out with Cassie for 3 days she figured out how to transport (which was fine) but then all of a sudden she knew how to use all the other fae magic too such as memory altering and persuation and could transport Cassie with her even though she'd only just done it once by herself. Earlier in the book they had stated that she wouldn't fully come into her fae powers until she turned 18. This just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the story that she could all of a sudden use all this fae magic. I still enjoyed the story though.

EHRIAD (THE OTHERWORLD #1.5) BY JENNA ELIZABETH JOHNSON
This is my second time reading Ehriad and I love it just as much this time around! It's a great quick read. I originally read Ehriad when I read the other books in the Otherworld series. So this time around I tried to read it as if I hadn't read the others so I could comment on it for this collection for those of you that haven't read the other Otherworld books.

The characters and world that Jenna has created in the Otherworld series is wonderful! I have really enjoyed this series including this novella! The world and characters just pull you in and keep you reading wanting to know more and more about them, their world, and what will happen next. The creatures and places of the Otherworld are described well, I could picture everything as I was reading. This book takes you through three "scenes" from Faelorehn (Otherworld series #1)but from Cade's perspective. I think it's a great addition to the storyline and let you see his side of things, what he's thinking, and some of the things he was doing that didn't involve Meghan. I wish there was more from Cade's perspecitve, even though you're going through some of the same story again I like seeing the different perspective and hope Jenna Elizabeth Johnson writes more from Cade.

In all honesty you should really read Faelorehn first before reading Ehriad as it would probably make more sense that way. But if you haven't read Faelorehn don't let that stop you from reading this book as it's still a great read and worth the time and introduces you to the wonderful Otherworld and characters Jenna has created. Or if you're already read all the Otherworld books but missed this one it's still worth the read. The first time I read Ehriad it was after I had read at least the first two Otherworld books, maybe all three and I still enjoyed it then and now. I highly recommend Ehriad and all the Otherworld books!

ONCE (GYPSY FAIRY TALE #1) BY DANA MICHELLE BURNETT
I probably would have given this 4 stars if it wasn't for the fact that this book could really use another edit. There were many places where the wrong word was used, so not misspellings because the words were real words but not the word that made sense to be there. There were even some places that the wrong name was used, such as Karen instead of Kieran. It really became annoying, enough that I felt it needed to be mentioned in a review but not so bad that it made me stop reading.

But onto the actual story. This was a quick but good read. Harmony had plans to get out of Corydon and go to college but then her grandma got sick and she stayed home to take care of her. Then her grandma dies and she's left grieving and trying to run the feed store that's swamped with unpaid bills. When the circus/travellers come to town and she's mesmorized by Kieran. She's envious of their life and freedom as she feels stuck in her boring life running her late grandma's feed store. As she lets herself be drawn to Kieran she finds herself in the middle of an age old battle between the Tuatha de Danann and Mileans.

I look forward to seeing what happens with Harmony and Kieran next and hope that the other books in this are longer.

FAE HORSE: A FAERY TALE BY ANTHEA SHARP
I loved Anthea's other books and this short story, Fae Horse, has the same level of writing and story telling. Eileen was accused of being a witch and flees for her life, leaving her dying true love behind. Just when she thinks she won't escape her pursuers she finds a horse which she mounts and escapes on. She soon discovers it's a NightMare and can she pay the price of being saved? This story seems to ulitmately be about a woman who will risk everything to save the one she loves.

omg this was amazing. the different stories left me wanting more.. each author i really enjoyed. i will def be looking for more by a lot of the authors. i read this for alexia's book but loved it for everyone else as well :)

[Tanya Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

My review is of The Withering Palace by Aleixa Purdy only

Aveta is the future queen on the Unseelie court living with a mother who will do everything to make it so that she won’t survive only Aveta is stronger than she thinks. With the help our her maiden and the walls of The Withering Palace, Aveta grows up to be a strong, powerful woman who can overcome her mother and become the Queen that she is meant to be.

This book is a great stand alone story or is a great introduction (or background depending on when you read it) to who Aveta is, what The Withering Palace is and how they play a role in the Dark Fairie series. If you start with this one you will not want to just stop, you will have to know what role Aveta and The Withering Palace places.

I look forward to reading the other stories in the collection

[Sandrus · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed all the stories but they are not usually the kind of fantasy I like to read- there was a strong Romance component. But I think people into Romances will like them quite a lot.

[SjA · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had this set for well over a year and tried reading it off and on during that year and still.. it took me over a year to finish.

I enjoy several of the authors in this set. That is the only reason I gave the set a try.

However.... -inserts horrible suspense music here-

Several of the books in this series seriously needed to be edited with a bright red ink pen since you can't get the same satisfaction while using Word. Some of them appeared to be a rough draft. Words out of place, extra words thrown in, names wrong in the text. Now, I can over look a few minor mistakes seeing as how we are all human and contrary to the belief that our favorite authors live in fantasy land... they too are human.. and I am far from perfect when it comes to punctuation and grammar.. but.. in some of the stories the errors are extremely consistent. A few times I wondered if a rough draft had been thrown in. Despite the lack of some stories having a good editor/beta.. some of the plots were worth reading anyway. I also managed to find an author that I hadn't read before, but plan to look into.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 1 - The Faerie Guardian by Rachel Morgan ****4 Stars
Violet is a Faerie Guardian in training. On a routine assignment she accidentally reveals herself to a human, who then turns out to be more than he seems. Oh and some very mean looking Faerie's are after Violet for her ability of being able to find people...I really liked this one, there's interesting characters, mystery, suspense, and romance.

Book 2 - The Withering Palace by Alexia Purdy ****4 Stars
I really liked this Novella. Aveta is an Unseelie Princess that has to ignore the desires of her own heart to fulfill her destiny.

Book 3 - Dark Promise by Julia Crane & Talia Jager ****4 Stars
I really enjoyed reading this, I thought the story was fun and relatively fast paced. Rylie annoyed me but I tried to remember that she was 16 and girls that age can be a bit bitchy.

Book 4 - Feyland: The First Adventure by Anthea Sharp **2 Stars
This was ok but didn't really entice me enough to read the series.

Book 5 - Blood Farie by India Drummond ****4 Stars
This was pretty good. It got right to the point and didn't drag things out...but maybe some parts were a little too rushed. For instance I'm not totally sure I understand all the powers and affinity's and season stuff they went on about. But, I did get the gist of it and was able to follow along.

Book 6 - Hood & Fae by Tara Maya ***3 Stars
Roxy finds out she is a descendent of red riding hood and needs to continue her legacy of slaying werewolves and other dark beings. This was pretty different and fun. My biggest problem was that everyone was very short with Roxy for not knowing anything...but no one ever bothered to share any information with her.

Book 7 - The Dark Fae by Terry Spear ****4 Stars
Alicia can see the Fae, and she really doesn't want them to know that. Just her luck, Prince Deveron discovers she can see his true form and becomes quite interested in her. Alicia then gets tangled up in Fae court politics and a search for who she really is.

Book 8 - Ehriad by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson **2 Stars
This was ok, a little too much information without good explanations. It was hard to get into.

Book 9 - Once (Gypsy Fairy Tale) by Dana Michelle Burnett ****4 Stars
I loved this. Harmony's life kinda sucks right now, her grandmother just died and she is now running the failing feed store on her own. Soon, a carnival of Irish Traveler's comes to town and she is well distracted from her troubles by one in particular. She finds out their secret of being a part of an ancient race and she has to figure out what she wants her future to hold. It was quick but was paced well and didn't feel rushed. I felt Harmony was a believable character and Kieran was a great mix of gentleman and bad boy.

Book 10 - Fae Horse (A Faery Tale) by Anthea Sharp *** 3 Stars
Short heartbreaking story about giving up yourself for the sake of the one you love.

[Linda · Rating 5 out of 5]

***This is a review of the Dark Fae, one of the wonderful tales included in this collection!*** This set is a BARGAIN!

I loved this! I was enthralled, enchanted and enamored by this lively fae story that moved fast and kept me riveted from beginning to the end. There just weren't any dull moments. The characters were fun and each was on a trip of self-discovery. This is a story that would be perfect for tweens and teens . But... it's not just for the young. I really enjoyed it, too, and I'm in my 60s.

The characters shined! Alicia was raised as a human who could see the fae. All she knew about the fae royal kingdoms, she had learned from her father's journal. As she and her friend, Cassie, were vacationing on South Padre Island, Deveron, a dark fae. made a move on Cassie. Alicia literally pours cold water on him to put a halt to his shenanigans. Deveron decides that he will enjoy paying her back. He might be surprised, though, to find the tables turned on him.

Within these pages, Alicia evolves from a wanna-be beach bunny to a feisty, resourceful, and strong heroine. Deveron begins as a cocky, egotistical fae who gets his kicks by playing games with innocent humans. I didn't like him at all at first. But... he executed a complete turn-around in the story to a caring, yummylicious hero. Ritasia was witty and I admired how she supported her brother and protected Alicia. The descriptions of scenes drew me right into the story. OMG! I wish I could travel like they do! The bantering and dialogue between Deveron, Alicia and Ritasia was humorous at times and always engaging. The romance between Deveron and Alicia gave me a warm and fuzzy glow. If I were Alicia, I'd never let go of him!

If you listen to the audible version as I did, the narrator is very good. Her voice was clear and didn't distract me from the story. I like to listen to audibles while exercising. I can immerse myself so deeply in Terry's books, that I look forward to each session and I don't even feel the pain.

Bottom-line: If you like to escape to magical fantasy worlds with fun romances, captivating characters and non-stop. entertaining adventure, rush to whatever bookstore you use, and buy this book now!

Well Worth Reading

I can only mention the few books that left an impression on me. DARK PROMISE was very good. It made me want to read more. I only thought that that the girl's human life at the beginning seemed too good to be true. FEYLAND: THE FIRST ADVENTURE had me reading the next book. You can see my review of it under FEYLAND: THE DARK REALM. BLOOD FAERIE was a mystery turned later into romance. HOOD AND FAE started out wonderfully. I loved the humor. It was cute, the way it was written. Later, it just got too dark. In THE DARK FAE I liked it when the hero turned out to be a true hero and not evil as the heroine had thought. EHRIAD had too much narration and not enough dialogue, though it was rich in Celtic lore and I'm going to read the next book. ONCE (Gypsy Fairy Tale) was worth waiting for. It was my favorite. The romance was excellent. There is truly a magical connection between the hero and the heroine. I would say I've certainly learned a lot about faeries!

[Kellea Croft · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not for the adult reader. Upset that to finish a story had to go purchase more books. Just ads for more.

[Fire Raven · Rating 2 out of 5]

I bought this book after reading India Drummond's Caldonia Fae's Blood Faerie, but was surprised to find it lumped in with young adult stories. There was nothing about Blood Faerie that said young adult to me. I had thought I was getting adult fairy tales, instead they are all young adult fairy tales. There is nothing wrong with that genre but I was looking forward to stronger heroines that don't come across as whiny about what's happening in their life. I was unable to finish any of the other stories, because of the tone of the main characters. I do understand short stories don't allow much freedom to give characters more depth, but I found these tales lacking.

I would give this particular anthology almost 5 stars. There was nothing in here that I truly did not want to read. But, considering I only gave one story five stars, I thought it best if I go to the 4.9999999 stars.

I'm not much of a reviewer. I liked the collection of some modern and some not-so-modern. And I always find it interesting when someone writes a story based in a town that I know. That happened in this anthology.

Overall, the stories were well written and I am glad to know that I still love fairytales.

What a great collection!

What a great collection!

This collection of reads was an absolute must and I have to say I enjoyed every one of them. I'm familiar with some of the authors and enjoyed the new ones as I've discovered their works. Looking forward to the next exciting works to come.

10 books, some I loved, some weren't my cup of tea. Some were cliff hangers, some just made you want more from the author. All were well written. One has a warning about curse words. Yes there are some, but there is no one just yelling curse words, but one here and there in conversation or when something isn't right.

Entertaining

I would recommend this bundle to anyone who needs a few amusing stories to kill the time. I had read two of the stories before but that was alright because I was able to skip to the next story pretty easily. I only gave it three stars because it was entertaining but none of the stories stood out or made me want to continue to the next book in the series.

I loved this book. The author is consistent about writing great stories.
I'm just starting to get around in Goodreads that's why it's taken so long to get to you. I'm not a rude person and haven't ignored your emails, I just didn't take enough time to figure this stuff out.
By the way, have you read any Michael J Ploof books? Will of Agora story is beyond AWESOME. Give him a try.

1st books of trilogies & series

The stories were good and the set was a variety of different "fae" tales. However, the sequels to what you read, will cost you. I have kindle Unlimited, they weren't included there. I checked with library, no luck. Considering the cost of this set, it is worth it.

A great mix of tales

While geared more for the young adult audience, this collection of stories about the Fae was an entertaining read. Some I had read already, others were new...most enjoyable.

I'm marking this as complete because all I really wanted to do was read the Alexia Purdy story, and the rest will take me forever. So I'm done.

One of them I'm holding onto because I'd like to read the rest of the series first.

Had some good books in it and had some I personally didn't care for. However, for the price it was a great buy.

Nice bundle. Really enjoyed reading these books.

Some are short as they are just stop gap books. Books that fill in little details but they are still good.

Got this for $0.99, and other than already having one of the books I enjoyed all of these. I definitely want to read more of those series.

Love the book

This was the best book I have ever read. I would be very happy to see what happens after I read the continuing stories in the book.
