Status Updates From Fae for Pay (Fortune Favors...

Hey.. so, this is delightful?? I'm absolutely loving the main character and what happened so far. I knew this didn't have so many good reviews for no reason. Often times, with tropes and a genre like this, you get some mediocre books that read more like fanfiction, but so far, this has been nothing but fun. The author is clearly well equipped to build a suspenseful story that's not purely romantic

I am intrigued. I am also confused.

uyyyyyyyyy

This book is not at all what the blurb promised.

1. The MC and the LI never hated each other - they've already hooked up and are talking about a fwb type of thing?

2. They're still in the real world, and it doesn't seem like that's going to change any time soon.

I was expecting a high fantasy adventure, and this is totally not it - rn I'm wondering if I should dnf, because the writing's not all that great, either.

// Overall [despite a few serious niggles] this was a nice book!!!

The pacing has left something to be desired; MCs are in the same location by 20% but don’t speak until 26%. The magic plot moment in the blurb hasn’t happened yet at 50% and they haven’t kissed yet.
I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read but it seems like it could’ve used an edit and trim in the first half.

// Sheila is a fucking CUNT!!!!!

// You're bulldozing over him and you have the audacity to talk about manners?!! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BACK THE FUCK OFF, LADY!!!!!

// Poor Hyde?!!!??? Author are you insane??? What is it with authors for being fucked enough to give evil a fair chance!!! Hyde is a water of skin, space, and air, and he 100% deserves to die and get killed off!!!! Wanting to be a bigger person by warning Hyde doesn't make any character a good person, it makes the AUTHOR a fucking idiot (she wrote it; I blame HER)!!! Just make Hyde finally die for fuck's sake!!!

// This author can absolutely teach other authors how to write fucking amazing chemistry between the MCs, absolutely powerful buildup, wonderful sexual tension, and scorching as fuck sex scenes!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!

// I am pissed!!!! Moving on!!!

// This implies sexuality is a conscious choice and just NO NO NO!!!!!!!!! I hate the author for this!!!! What a fucking CUNT for doing what she does here in this book!!!!
