A Vampire's Fairy: Underworld Series: Book Three

by Zoey Hayes

Viola has perfected the art of pretending to be happy. The walls around her heart are built high enough, that no matter what, no one will see her pain. She would prefer death over what everyone calls life, but she made a promise to the love of her life, that she would learn to live without him, so here she is, trying. The flashy clothes, perfected make-up, the bright smile, and the sass do a wonderful job of faking joy.
Marco was cursed since birth, bloodlust always his companion. He has learned to accept that part of himself. Being the price of the vampire kingdom, he puts on the perfect act for his role, even though he craves to be honest with someone who would love him.
When the Vampire king calls for the best tracker from their only ally, the Dark Lord sends them Viola, a fairy who is known for her skill in such matters. Marco and her decide it is best to ignore the bond fate has gifted them, afraid to let themselves feel love. Will they break their massive walls of what ifs to give fate a chance?

A vampire with a curse, a fairy with a broken heart, and a threat to their world - it’s A Vampire’s Fairy.

Viola is called in to help find the source of continued attacks on the vampire kingdom. The king’s son, Marco, is to work with her. The catch? It turns out they’re fated mates.

This isn’t going to work for either of them. Viola watched her first mate die and has vowed to never love again…and Marco? He is cursed and refuses to put anyone he loves at risk. Better to be alone.

But the bonds of fate are hard to deny, and their time spent working together helps them find not only the answer they seek, but also the courage to love in the face of loss.

This novella was a fun read. It is book three in the series and I read it as a standalone. Personally, I would not recommend that. There isn’t enough time to go back over world building done in the previous books and so we’re plunged straight into the story. I still highly enjoyed it and absolutely recommend it - but read the other books first.

It’s an open door spice with a medium burn. The story deals with grief and loss, parental figures using their children for their own purposes, and fear of moving forward.

If you’re a fan of spicy PNR/fantasy and just want something snack-sized to help bump your reading stats up for the year, this (and the other books) is what you need.

If you're looking for a dark fantasy romance, with a quick-burn and fated mates, satisfying heat, and a focused plot, Then this book will give it to you. This is the first book I have read from this author, but I plan to read more of her work. I truly enjoyed it.

I gifted an early e-book of A Vampires Fairy from the Author. My review is my own and is therefore honest!



My Review.

A dark romance, fast past but has sweet cozy humour within!

“Murder. Death. Blood. That’s all the moon forced me to see and crave.”

This Did take me a week to read ,even though it is a short book, because i found it a little hard to get into. Unfortunately i am not able to describe more in detail about how I felt beside the fact ,I did not hate it ,but I did not love it.

“I’m an insane fairy. The definition of twisted and dark. I have no mercy for those who betray me.”

It has darkest, humour and spice. I will say that The fast pace of this read, was not to fast , for me , at all.
I did enjoy when things got a little darker. These character i did like. I definitely like me a vampire and fairy thats for sure.

Thank you to the author Zoey Hayes for allowing me to advance read this book.

I consider this book a novella at 177 pages.

Full disclosure I did not finish this book DNF at 51% page 92.

I did not enjoy this book. I'm not sure even how to say if you like certain kinds of books you'll like this book. I guess I can say if you like a quick paced Paranormal/fantasy that kind of doesn't make sense with very little investment, you might like this


It started off promising. It's a dual POV. The promising part was the dark comedy and snarky MMC.

Everything fell apart after that for me. I spent quite a few chapters with the I don't want to get involved, but he's really hot and maybe I'll do some spice stuff inner monologue.

The FMC was really inconsistent in her behavior. The MMC seemed to be along for the ride.

There were some odd turns of phrases specifically in some of the spice scenes that kind of made me laugh, unfortunately.

I really didn't know what to make of this book so I'm giving it a two stars and moving my life along.

"A Vampire's Fairy" by Zoey Hayes

"The Underworld Series" book #3

This installment focuses on the Fae Viola and the Vampire Marco. As the crown prince of the Vampires, Marco is cursed from birth and therefore reluctant to marry or have children, fearing his bloodlust will be a burden to love. In contrast, Viola is a temperamental fae who has lost her mate and is unwilling to experience that pain again. She is sassy, confident, and strong-willed, knowing exactly what she wants and doesn't want. The characters in this book are well-developed, and the banter between Marco and Viola is particularly noteworthy for its creativity and explosiveness. In my opinion, this is the best installment of the series so far.

Book 3 of the underworld series follows Viola. We learn a little of he back story in Books 1 and 2 but her POV was so emotive. I loved seeing her behind her mask she shows the world and there was so much to her character.

Marco is just along for the ride, he is so laid back and in awe at Viola. I love how he doesn't question her ability or intelligence.

Of course there are some funny banter moments between Viola and Alys and familiar faces make an appearance from B1 and 2.

This was such a fun, short, easy to follow read and I love the relationship between Marco and Viola.

[Natalia Valdes · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good, quick read. I wish there were more. I really enjoyed Viola's personality and Marco's calming and assuring presence. This book had a good amount of spice, humor, and plot. I loved that Marco was not pushy but patient with Viola. I loved that Viola was very accepting of Marco and didn't press him. She was funny, and her confidence is admirable. Plus, her saving her niece was heart-warming, but I wish she had taken Emma with her. I look forward to reading about Emma's journey in the next book.

This was such an enjoyable quick read!!

Dark romance ✅
Fated mates ✅
Vampires and other mythical creatures ✅
Fast paced ✅

This short story will show you the significance of second chances and the importance of grabbing those by the balls (metaphorically.. and maybe a little bit literally 😏)

While there is some open door action in this book I wouldn’t classify this as a very smutty or spicy book so this might be the perfect start for someone trying to get into some darker/smuttier stories.

Also a latino vampire with a dimple? Of course this book was always going to be good!

[Cindy Palmer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zoey Hayes does it again with Book 3 of the Underworld Series. This is a quick read where we get to know Viola (Fae) and Marco (Vampire). She's been heartbroken before and won't put herself back out there again. Marco's been cursed since birth and won't put himself out there for fear of what it might do to his mate. Then he meets Viola. He's so patient with her. She's confident and funny and the two together are dark fantasy.

I loved the plot and I absolutely loved Viola! The premise of the book was awesome. I loved the character growth and the banter and Violas sassiness and the fact that Marco loved her for it. I loved the little twist at the end regarding Mia.
I do have to say that I felt like the spicy scenes felt kind of robotic and awkward with the way they were written and certain words used for things.

[Angela Ballas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book early and devoted it!!! Loved every part of it! I have read the whole series..and so happy that Viola found her happy ever after! Marco 🥵🌶️ yes please! It was so good. There were times that I held my breath, laughed and got teary eyed! Every single book in this series has been amazing. Love the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️. Definitely recommend!

[FN · Rating 4 out of 5]

Both main characters carry emotional weight that makes them hesitant to embrace their fated bond, and I loved how that tension played out. The story is fast-paced and easy to read, yet still gives enough depth to make their feelings and growth believable. The story moves quickly but still has plenty of heart. Definitely enjoyed it! Grateful for the ARC opportunity.

[Gloria Hunt · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this book, it was shorter than other books I’ve read but I enjoyed it. I felt like there was more story to tell, and the ending felt a bit rushed but overall I enjoyed the book and it had the perfect amount of 🌶️

ARC reader

3.5/5

The story is original and well written. I enjoyed the elements of grief and how the story plays out however it moves way too quickly. I feel like there’s a part missing that could’ve made this book even better.

[Kirstin Bean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love a good fasted paced book. Second chance love, fated mates and best of all spicy.

[Emily Grizzell · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book had a lot of potential but felt rushed and disconnected. I would have liked more deep dives into situations instead of glossed over rush jobs that led to more questions than answers.

[Jessica Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun read. Short and sweet.
I would have loved a little more depth because it def had the potential to be sooo much deeper. The story itself was fun and sassy!

[Marcella Loza · Rating 5 out of 5]
