Fathom
I imagine this is what Alice felt like as she toppled through the darkness.
But this was definitely not Wonderland.
Nineteen-year-old Audrey had an incredible life. Until a year ago when her father vanished without a trace.
Life had seemingly moved on, until one fateful day while packing for college when Audrey found a note that changed her life forever.
Armed with uncertainty and the thirst to understand what happened to her father, Audrey finds herself in a world she only thought existed in fairytale books. But none of those books had anyone falling into the hands of their father's enemies.
Audrey will quickly realize that things aren't what they seem. Especially when she learns the truth about who she truly is and who her heart desperately craves. Secrets seem to fall like rain but burn like acid and Audrey will feel every drop if she's not careful.
Will she be able to survive the truth?
Fathom is an Adult Fantasy that will seduce you into a world you only wished was real.

I got this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is an adult fantasy mix of alice in wonderland and i really enjoyed it a lot.
And I found it very attentive.
The book had me on the edge of my seat.
Every time I thought no this can't be.
I was pleasantly surprised again.
Not because it was exciting.
But because I've never read this.
In terms of adult fantasy.
And looking forward to book 2!

I had the greatest opportunity to be an ARC reader for Alexandria James and let me tell you, I could not put this book down. I finished it in one day. James has created a world that reminds me of Holly Black. The characters are fully developed as well as the rules of the realm. The book is fast paced and leaves you wanting more. It's filled with chaos, morally grey characters, intrigue, a strong female leader, little bit of spice and lots of betrayal. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

I received this book as an ARC. It's been a while since I've found a story that has captured my attention! This book has taken center stage. The world Audrey is in is not her own, and she keeps rolling with the punches. There are twists, turns, hot guys, and crazy people. Please check the trigger warnings before diving in. There are spicy scenes and some strong language. Overall, I don't just hand out 5 star reviews for no reason. This book earned it. Enjoy this read! I can't wait for the next one! It does end on a cliffhanger.

Fathom is the first book in the Fathom Series.
In this story we meet Audrey who having recently been broken up with by her longtime boyfriend. She is also still grieving and looking for her father who vanished 1 year ago. She finds a note the day she is set to move away for college that changes her life bringing her into a world she only thought existed in the stories she reads.
I could not put this book down I found myself up reading until late into the night it captivated me and I wanted to find out what would happen next.
There are many twists and turns in this story that will keep you hooked. Not to mention a certain brooding MMC.
The chemistry between the FMC and MMC was great, I loved the angsty feelings and the reasoning for them. The way the story progressed and left us on that cliffhanger was perfection. I am hoping for the best for our characters. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
I received an ARC copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.

I received the book as an ARC and I absolutely loved it!!! It took me a few days to read only because of it being the holiday season and not having the usual down time that I usually would. I read it every second that I possible could and just could not get enough!! I loved that I could connect on a personal level with the FMC and just adored her character, as well as, her love interest! Now that I have finished this book I cannot wait for the second one to come out so that I can find what happens!

I feel for Audrey, boyfriend of 3 years breaks up with her and her dad disappeared a year ago. She has a hard time dealing with it until she finds a note from her dad to come find him.
Her world gets turn upside down when she is transported to the fae world. There she learns a lot about her life and about her dad. Her interaction between Princes Soren and Lennox are quite different.
A lot happens to her along the way of finding her dad's kingdom. Let's just say that I root for her and Lennox relationship.
The book leaves on big cliffhanger. I can't wait to find out what happens.

I got to read this book as an ARC and I could see that the story had potential but I found it to be very predictable.
Trigger warning of SA
Tropes: Who did this to you, slow burn, cursed love
This book is like Alice in Wonderland crossed with Cruel Prince. It has elements of an urban fantasy that is not my preferred subgenera, it directly references Cruel Prince by Holly Black which really pulls me out of the story. I think that the idea was good but the result just ended up being very predictable and trope-y.

I couldn’t put this down! I am frustrated by the cliffhanger at the end! I can’t wait and am excited for the next book after this!! Nox and Audrey seem completely meant to be together. Soren is a nasty piece of work right along with Zara. What are they all going to get up to? Will Audrey’s father get to them both in time to save their lives?

This was an interesting book. Definitely not my sort of read so I did struggle a bit to get through the book. Characters and story line are interesting. I found it to be a bit over descriptive for me, so I found myself skimming at times.

I received this book as an ARC, and it caught my attention from the start. I read it in one sitting, I couldn't put it down. I loved the world building in this one, and how relatable the FMC was, cannot wait for book 2 since that cliffhanger!

Loved this book! Read it in a day because once I started I couldn’t put it down. Strong characters. Interesting turns. A little spice. Alexandria wrote a fast-paced read that leaves you excited for the rest of the series!

This was such a fun read. I read it in a single sitting. James takes you on a journey with her characters and draws you in to all the feelings. The spice was just enough without being too much, and her voice was strong throughout. I can’t wait to see where she takes this series!

This was a book starting in the human world and ending in the fae world of political wars, destiny's and some evil characters. One mate love and a Kimg of an empire, long lost father and witches and betrayal. The storyline was great, a decent ya read and interesting ideas. It was a decent read
December 24, 2022
It’s a good start if the story of the fae and half human love. Hoping for more eventually.

I’m at a loss… I read this book in one sitting! I received and advanced copy of this book and all I can say is order it NOW. I was gripped from the start. This story has intrigue.. great characters including a hot brooding Fae who you are rooting for in no time. This author takes us down the rabbit hole and does not disappoint. It does end with a cliffhanger but for me that adds to the intrigue and I love a book that leaves you wanting the next one Quickly!
December 30, 2022
