A Dark Fae trying to make things right.

A human girl wondering how it all went so wrong.

Don’t trust the humans.

It’s a new sentiment among the fae. For most of his life, the few humans he’s known have been like family. So how does their entire world want those like Gullie destroyed?

The secret is out.

Fae exist and the humans believe Magic threatens their way of life.

The once-fringe cult that has spent years terrorizing the fae—and killing any humans that got in the way—now has the backing of governments and the media.

Their goal? Keep the fae out of our world.

What they really mean? Destroy them all.

Gulliver refuses to give up on the communities of fae scattered across human cities.

And he’ll never give up on Sophie. Whether she’s taking up residence in the queen’s lavish Iskaltian rooms, or sitting by her father’s side as he plans to annihilate the fae, Gulliver has to reach her. He has to make her see there’s another way.

There might be a tail coming from his behind. His eyes might be more familiar to a cat, and he might live in a world of vanishing villages and healing waters, but all Gulliver wants is for his home to remain safe and those fae who choose to make the human world their home to have that same safety.

Even if he has to lose her to hate.

Even if he has to face a warzone of bombs and guns, and the destruction of every taco he holds dear.

The fate of both worlds is now up to him … magicless Gulliver O’Shea.

About the Author

I'm a USA Today Bestselling author of fantasy, contemporary romance, and romantic comedies. Fantasy was my first and forever love with the bestselling "Golden Curse". I love taking old stories and turning them around until they're almost unrecognizable except to the most avid fans. I write books to challenge myself, tackling hard topics or places so different from my own. Studying ancient cultures, architecture, and folklore is one of the best parts of being an author.I've written more than seventy stories full of magic, love, and friendship, and at thirty-three, have no plans to ever stop.

Book 11 in the Queens of the Fae series picks up where the previous book left off, with Gulliver and Sophie-Ann joined by a lot more fae as they try to save the fae in the human world from the humans who seek to destroy them out of fear and jealousy. But because the fae misunderstands how the human world functions and sees threats, things go very wrong.

Sadly this book was a disappointment. It seemed forced and the way the authors portrayed humans, (yes, I know humans are the most vindictive, malicious, and jealous creatures that have ever walked the planet, even though we have the intelligence to be better) was overly dramatic.

The fae, all of them, even though they were adults, over twenty, acted as if they were teenagers, including the grandparents, and this childish behavior is the reason things went wrong for them. In previous books these same fae, although teens, acted more adult than in this one.

3 Stars

just as compelling as book one

This is one of my favorite long-running series. I can hardly believe it's up to volume eleven and still just as compelling as book one. This author duo has created a world you will want to visit again and again.

What happens when humans are killing the fae who live amongst them? Will those from the Fae Realm just stand by?

Quick with lovely characters

The secret is out. Fae exist and they live among the humans. A fact to which humans do not take kindly. In fact they, or at least a decent portion of them, intend to start an all out war. And it’s Gullie and Toby’s job to stop it, with the help of one of the human leaders daughter, Sophie. Sophie, who only months ago was dying of Leukemia, now entirely healthy thanks to the healing pools Gulliver abducted her to use. But the Fae-hating cult now has the backing of the U.S. government, Sophie is no where to be found, and Gullie and Toby don’t have any magic to speak of.

While I love Gulliver, Toby, Sophie, and Xavier, I didn’t love this book. I enjoyed reading more of the characters, but in the overall storyline it didn’t feel like it moved the story along very much. More like it was a placeholder to tie up some loose ends. It was nice to see Toby start to wake up from the loss of Logan and Xavier become more to the story. I liked that Sophie got some information on the death of her mother and that Gullie seems to be coming more into who he’s meant to be. I really don’t like Tierney, which is throwing me a bit, because before this and the last book I loved her. I’m really unsure of what to make of the ending. I’m not sure that storyline is going to be really necessary. I love these authors and I love the rest of the series, but I’m really struggling with Gullie’s stories. If I could give half stars I think I would give 3.5 because I enjoy the writing, the authors, and a fair few of the lines. The story read pretty smoothly and quicker than the last one it felt like.

Tacos! Who knew🤣

This is book 2 and not a standalone so grab book 10 before this one unless you want to start at the beginning (which I recommend 😉) Sophie now knows the truth and struggles to understand what she sees with what she was taught. Gullie and Toby are tasked with helping the Fae in the human realm and nothing goes very smoothly. There is a cliffhanger but the final book should be out soon. Which is bitter sweet with the ending of this amazing world.
