The Faerie on the Trail

by R.L. Mooney

Abigail Blackwood has always felt out of place in her remote village. She meets a beautiful, mysterious stranger who gives her a map that leads her to a Faerie Circle… and that's where her real adventure begins.

Tauri Embers is Fae royalty, but she isn't following in her fiery father's footsteps. As an act of rebellion, she opens a portal and invites an intriguing human into the realm of the Fae.

Declan Greene is a nature Fae who begins to question why the Seelie King has mysteriously stopped appearing in public. He stumbles into the first human he has ever seen and offers to be her guide.

Tauri, Abigail, and Declan's lives become entangled, and fate has brought them together for a purpose. While romantic feelings bloom, a prophecy awaits...

I really appreciated the bisexual and polyamorous representation in this book! I enjoyed the story. The writing could have used a little “oomph” but was still good. ❤️
Need a part 2 where the characters are in a throuple and go back to the human lands. 🤞🏻

Ugh. I really wanted to give it more stars. In all honesty I would probably give it 3.5 stars if it was possible.
I love, love, love the fantasy story of this book. It is so good to read. I felt like a kid submerging in the land of faerie. This author is a fantastic story teller.
But here is were I was disappointed. The romance part of the book had so much potential. Unfortunately there was not much suspension building. It all felt kind of flat and quick, more like a "oh by the way they liked each other, had a quick sexual encounter, and lets get back to the fairytale story itself". It just felt rushed and squeezed into the story to check it of the list. With the rest of the story being written so well, I just had hoped for an equally captivating and steamy romance.

A refreshing, bisexual Faerie romance with two females and one male lead. Abigail feels misplaced in her small, remote village when the tantalizing Tauri gives her a map to the Faerie realm. Before long, she is caught up in a prophecy and attraction to both Tauri and Declan. A spicy book with many high fantasy elements.

Good, but rushed

This book was so very good, and I loved the concept and the story, but everything felt rushed. Like the author was scared to let the story be longer. Some senses also felt very rushed. This book really had all the potential to be a 5 star read, and just fell a little short by grazing over and not going into more details.

decent read

This is a decent read with good bisexual characters in it. Also some polyamory. Overall the writing itself was only okay. The idea behind it was very good though and would have been better with more world building and character development.
