Winter's Thorn #0.5
To Catch a Fae
Long ago, darkness and light came together and created beauty… a beauty that will destroy this world.
The dream comes again, always the same dark twisted woods; a place I knew too well, a place I’ve traveled hundreds of times before. But it’s just a dream my foster mom insists, then why is he in my head all the time. He who has no name, who refuses to give me his name.
Little wolf, he calls me, telling me secrets, listening to me, and makes me blush with the dirty things he says. Until the day everything changes.
I’m not ready for a world that shouldn’t exist. To meet three stunning hot men with powers I can’t fathom, each more dangerous than the next. One dominant and terrifying. One cruel with his words. And one who unmistakably stole my heart and insists I’m his.
I’m in danger they say, but is their protection enough to keep me safe, to help me find a happily ever after before it’s too late? To awaken me to the truth of who I really am.

this book was a waste of my time, and i needed to waste my time on this bus ride so i guess it’s gets one star for that reason.

Guen, a high school student, is in a clinical psychiatrists office at the beginning of this story. Right from the start, I kept turning pages, wanting to know what happened to Guen and the voice in her head. I wanted to know which of her realities were real, the Earthly Realm or the Wandering Realms.
VOICE: "You’re so much more than insane, little wolf."
Guen: " The low rumble of his voice wrapped around my mind, deep and smooth, reverberating through my bones. He who had no name, who refused to give me his name, who was always in my head. Something I never told a single soul; otherwise, I’d end up in an asylum."
In the Wandering Realm, Guen/Guendolyn learns there are paranormal beings. Not knowing her past leaves her at a disadvantage in determining who or what she can trust. She has captured the attention of three fae princes. They frighten and excite her at the same time. Guen is attracted to the second prince named Luther the most. Sparks fly when they're together.
"How could I stay here with three princes who were more dangerous than I’d first thought? One dominant and terrifying. One cruel with his words. And one who’d unmistakably stolen my heart." - Guen
“Everyone knows who you are here, that your name is Guendolyn, what you represent… Everyone except you.” - Ahren
In the Earthly Realm, Guen is a troubled high-school teenager. It's hard for her to make friends, always the new kid at school since her foster mom, Jen, moves around with every new boyfriend she has. Guen happens to like the new boyfriend and hopes that this relationship lasts. Guen also has a 9yr-old foster brother named Oliver. Guen and Oliver have a typical sibling relationship. They annoy each other. Anyways, at school, the other girls pick on her, and the guys take advantage of her.
“Why is a freak like her allowed in our class? I heard she takes medication so she doesn’t lose control and kill us all. Look what she did to me! Wait until my parents find out about this.” - Sabrina
Guen tries to escape the frustration of life in the earthly realm by 1) working, so she can earn enough money to go out on her own. 2) painting the other world that haunts her dreams.
"I flicked on the lights and glanced over to my easel, deciding that painting was the perfect distraction from my mind seducing me. God, I was going insane.
With a fresh canvas set up, I prepped the paints and brushes before starting. I drew a long stroke, then another and more, the twisted tree coming to life. He no longer spoke, and I let myself go."
I plan on finding the truth of where Guen/Guendolyn belongs.

What?
The first 60% of this book showcased Guen’s life in such a base way with all the usual tropes. Abandoned child. Check. Foster system. Check. Troubled past. Check. School bullies. Check. There was absolutely no true set up to who Guen was/is. The story doesn’t begin until she’s back in the world of the Fae. Yet. We still have no clue why we should care at all about Guen. She’s young. Petulant. There’s nowhere near enough character building. Maybe that’s the draw to get to the second book? I call it sloppy writing.

Really liked this book. I thought it would be cheesy and just okay, but it was really good. Can't wait for the next one!

High ick factor. Felt like he was grooming a child to me.

There were some interesting elements to the story, and I believe it has potential.
However, what felt like most of the story we see her do the same thing. She talks to the mysterious voice in her mind. If this book had been longer I wouldn’t have a problem with the amount of space this took, but due to being kind of a short book, it felt like it happened for at least half of the book.
There also wasn’t much connection between the characters. And Luther acting like she was his world one moment, then standing by with a curious expression on his face the next when his brother tells her to get on her knees because she was out of bounds or whatever. No, thank you, next.
I also hated that she had to learn how to play the harp and embroider? Like what? Why? That just came out of nowhere, and she just complied.
If I am to continue with this series I will need to see massive character development. From all of them.

July 19, 2023DNF @ 21% I got this book during stuff your Kindle day because it was free. I love the plot idea of someone hearing a voice in their head and thinking they are mentally I’ll when really it’s an actual person. The writing could use some work though and that’s primarily why I am DNF’ing it.

DNF…
This book has definitely pointed out my ‘book trigger’
‘Ferris wheel? Is that some kind of weapon? Or sex toy?’
Men talking like this to a school age girl… someone please put a stop to authors thinking it’s okay to do this 🤦♀️ I’d rather not read about grooming thanks, but no thanks.

Guen is a high schooler (age unclear) haunted by some sort of fae (age unclear but I’m betting my bottom dollar too old), being a gross creeper and making her think she’s mentally unwell. Guen likes art and hates any girl who has the audacity to be attractive. Not a girl’s girl. I liked the cute animals (Sir Wolf-a-lot and a winged cat) and Guen has a complex relationship with her foster mother, who genuinely cares for her and does her best, yet makes mistakes. Not a fan of the clichés (there’s a cartoonishly mean ‘popular girl’), and sexual assault is used a plot device to give the MC an excuse to be overprotective, which I’m not a fan of. Too much assault overall, to be honest. And Guen needs to finish high school before running off with a slimy fae.

First of all, of course thank you so much BookSirens for my free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Always a pleasure ✌️
Unfortunately, that being said...This book was boring, confusing (not in a good way, more in a i-didnt-plan-my-plot-well-enough kinda way) and not well rounded in overall writing style.
Every scenario seemed so boxy, if that makes any sense. It's like the author created this little box to put her FMC in and the story was attempting to flow around it but kept getting caught on the edges.
This story was not good and if wasn't so short, I would've DNFed. Sadly, I still feel like I wasted my time. I do hope the next books are well written but I, however, will not be among those reading them. ✌️

I’ve been reading a few of Mila Young's books lately, so I knew I wanted some, but I hadn’t picked which. Unfortunately, it definitely did not end up being this series. Right from the start, I knew this wasn’t going to be for me. We really get thrown into this story with very little set-up, and pretty much the whole book continues like that—we don’t get to learn much about the world or any of the characters, so it’s all very confusing. There’s a lot of stuff that happens that makes absolutely no sense; maybe some of those things come into play later in the series, but it just makes this one very confusing. So as much as I’ve been enjoying Mila’s books, this one was definitely a miss for me, and I won’t be continuing with this series.

OMG
I loved this.
I didn't realize the series wasn't on KU though so I've been debating finishing it.
I really want to because so far what I've read I love the story.
So from what I understand though is that she doesn't fall asleep when she crosses over to the Ash kingdom, she gets sent back to the Human realm and loses all her memories.
AHHH I can't wait to read more.
Although the youngest brother really pissed me off. The oldest brother too. Luther isn't that good but he's not that bad either. He made her a 'Ferris wheel'
Spice 0/5

Having a magical fae prince in my head would have made high school SO MUCH BETTER.
Guen struggles with her mental health, and the line between reality and the dream world is so thin that its practically non existent for her. In the human world, this means shrinks, medication, and being treated as though she is crazy at school.
At home, her foster Mum tries her best, but there is nothing to be done once a line is crossed and a series of events are set in motion that could cost so much more than Guens sanity - it Could cost her life.
Brilliant into to the series, cant wait to read the rest (which are downloading as i type this, YAY!)

I am hooked. Guen is a girl who dreams things that no one else does, she thinks it’s not real but learns that she is wrong. Guen and Luther I need more of especially how this book ended. I’m definitely one clicking the next book in this series.

Not what i expected.
I'm not entirely sure I'll continue this series honestly. The FMC is only 16 whole the MMCs are in their 20s so that makes me a little uncomfortable reading about it. The writing feels a little all over the place but I get it First person POV and she's so confused about everything. But I almost DNFd it. It has potential though.

Overall I enjoyed reading this, the only thing I’m not such a fan of is that the FMC is in high school… I think if she was older/ in college I would have enjoyed it a lot more. However I’m still looking forward to seeing how the story continues in the next book, I think the series has great potential!
August 14, 2024
I honestly don’t really understand all the negative reviews. I actually enjoyed reading this and most of the reviews I’m reading aren’t really making sense to me. It shows in the title that this book is #0.5 in the start of a series so this really isn’t even book one, it’s an introduction novella to the series. It’s also only 150 pages long not even, so of course you’re not going to see much character development or too much story because it’s introducing the reader to the world with also giving, in my opinion, a good beginning story of how the FMC starts out before diving into this new world/realm. There’s also going to be a lot of unanswered questions and not going too deep into the story because that is the purpose of some novellas especially as an introduction book. It’s meant to gain interest and pull the reader in and wanting to know more and what’s going to come, it did its job for me because I want to know what happens next.
I don’t really understand the grooming aspect except maybe because Luther (MMC) has been talking to Guen in her head for a few years now and she’s still in high school (I believe she’s 17/18) so I get that and I do prefer an older FMC especially in a fantasy story where it seems to be common for the FMC to be younger and still in high school. I would definitely prefer to read about an older female character especially when there’s romance involved. There’s no spice in this novella, angst and romance yes, but it seems like it’s leading to it eventually. As far as the MMCs.. this is also a fantasy story and the males are Fae in this story which, fae live significantly older than humans and generally develop slower over a longer period of time. I don’t know about this part but I can see why some would not like this aspect of the book as I agree, an older female character would be nice.
The tropes, they are typical of a fantasy/romantasy story which, yes, it’s nice to not see the same things all the time but the same can be said of others genres as well. For me that didn’t bother me, I thought the story behind the tropes was good which is the main thing and I liked the idea of the FMC believing for most of her life that she’s just hearing voices no one hears and seeing things supposedly not there, and not really having a choice but to accept certain mental health issues that other characters are telling her to accept and that align with what she’s experiencing.. just for it to turn out not to be true when she’s transported to a whole different realm starting the discovery of who she really is.
If you’re someone who doesn’t really like these tropes and/or fantasy type stories maybe don’t read fantasies then 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t have much opinions on the supporting characters so far because you’re only given a snippet of each one, leaving you with questions and wondering who people really are and what the real intentions involve regarding Guen. Which I feel is also the point of this book. It did it for me, I’m interested and want to see how all the characters and relationships develop. You get a lot from Guen and Luther so it moves forward pretty quick with them but with the backstory it makes sense.
I did enjoy the world building as well, again there’s still not a whole lot yet but what you do get in this book I feel paints a really good picture, definitely of the Fae realm for sure. When I was reading I could really picture the scenes, the castles, the aesthetic overall which I really loved.
I liked this book and am definitely interested in the next one at least to get more of their stories and see where things go. 4 stars this was great!

This didn't make a lot of sense. There wasn't any meat to the plot - I kept waiting for something to happen, but it just flopped. The story wasn't well thought out and was overall lacking.
As for the characters, the main character Guen is so cringey, frustrating, and plain unlikable. And Luther's character was so contradictory that at one point I wondered if he was actually two separate people. Everyone else was flat and undeveloped.
Finally, the setting was lazily slapped together. When she arrives in the other place (is it even named?), she is brought to a castle with a waterfall behind(?) some glass and a bridge, inside? Unclear. It gave the impression of a huge fantastical castle, but then later there are statements that give the impression that it's actually just a house. Also there's another castle, no description. Also another castle, again without description.
Sloppy.

This was an interesting read and I did enjoy it personally I will read the next books as I want to see where she goes with it.
I think that there needed to be a bit more character development and the relationship between the main character and Luther need more time spent on it during the start of the book.
The overall storyline was interesting and mystery of it has me want to read the next book. I’m very interested into seeing what happens with the brothers kinda giving enemies to lovers vibes with the other brothers.
It does end on a cliffhanger but the next book is already out so I’m okay with that
Not sure how I feel about this being a potential spicy romance with the main character being still in high school.

This book was very slow. The synopsis had me intrigued but I found it difficult to stay engaged. The first 50-60% was just full of stereotypical teenage angst and troubled teen tropes.
Guen as a character wasn't developed much past these tropes. I didn't feel any kind of connection to her, I just found her annoying after a little while 😅.
I wasn't keen on the writing style. It made the book feel like young YA/fanfic.
I appreciate how the author was trying to build suspense and mystery when it came to Luther but instead I was just left wondering who he was, what he wanted with Guen and what his connection to her was.
I don't think I'll continue this series.

To Catch A Fae is an...interesting read. The world building was pretty good, actually, which I didn't expect. I expected cheesey, cringe or maybe swoon-worthy sex scenes, and maybe a half-formed plot of some kind.
-1 star: It could have used more sex scenes.
-1 star: It was confusing at times.
-1 star: It could have used more sex scenes. I'm expecting shitty cringey romance!
The world building and plot were okay. There was a plot, and the world was put together decently. I honestly understood the beginning more since she was in the human realm.
It was mildly decent. I will not be continuing the series.

To Catch A Fae by Mila Young is the fantasy romance you didn't know you needed but won't be able to put down!
Guen, a mortal girl whisked into a deadly, seductive fae realm where not one but three dangerously hot fae princes are fighting to claim her.
Each one has his brand of irresistible charm and attitude, but they all agree on one thing: she's theirs. With smoldering tension, high stakes, and more than a bit of magic, this story is perfect for readers who love possessive anti-heroes, dark fae realms, and enough steam to make the pages sizzle.

The story was boring and confusing at times. I don't feel like I got to know the MC, Guen, very well at all, just that she felt like she was crazy and had mental health issues.
The interactions with humans (her family, bullies, etc) were often too short for any decent character development.
Her interactions with the fae realm just added more and more questions without answering any of them. By the end, I was more lost than I was at the beginning of the story.

Nope. ❌
I could barely slosh through the first few chapters and have started this book several times in the past few months only to get bored and put it down. 😫
I finally relented and finished the damn thing. 🥴
The story moves at a snail’s pace. And not the good slow.
Gladly it was free on “stuff your kindle” day.
But the rest aren’t. I won’t be purchasing the rest. I wouldn’t read the rest if they were on Kindle Unlimited. This author isn’t for me.

Decent
Not awful. The mental health stigma is a challenge for most people to read and write let alone talk about. It is becoming more normal and I adore that. I didn’t however like that it was the crux of Guen’s story. The dark three princes are intriguing but we don’t get much interaction with one of them and that saddens me. Read it in 3.5 hours.
