Book Summary:

Magic wanes. The realm of Faerie dies. The land’s one hope is a fae lord cursed never to feel love’s touch and the one person who could kill him: his fated mate.

Innara
I’m a witch who can’t reliably harness her magic. Pathetic, I know. When I’m cornered by my father’s magic hunters, I have nowhere to go except through the Wall that separates humans from the deceitful, fell fae.

I fear I’ll end up the pawn of a fae lord within a brewing war. Unfortunately, Lord Kir may be my only hope to return home.

Kir
Witches aren’t to be trusted. The one who fell through the Wall? Her most of all. I don’t need another problem, no matter how attractive. My enemy, the one who cursed me, is pounding down my door to steal my power.

I’ve tried to read the witch’s mind to see if she spoke the truth but found something worse. If I were smart, I’d cast her away. But something won’t let me.

She needs a way home, and I need her help to find the clues that could save my court. So we enter a bargain that forces us closer. But acting on our attraction could burn us both and the hope of my court with us.

So Fell Are the Fae is the first book in the Through the Wall trilogy. This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers fae fantasy is perfect for those who love fated mates, he-falls-first vibes, witches, curses, angst, and lots of twists and turns.


Note: So Fell Are the Fae is not intended for readers below the age of eighteen due to explicit language, violence/gore, and mature situations and themes.

My Thoughts:

This one captured my interest with the first sentence " Blood steamed in the snow, bright red and carving dents into the pristine white". Who or what's blood? Isn't this a romance book? Yes, yes it is. 

I loved Innar's character she is so feisty and full of life. She's ready to take on the world and is tired of things being kept secret from her. Her whole life she has been told to stay away from the wall that separates humans from Fae and then her mother tells her if she's ever in trouble to touch the wall. Say WHAT? Of course, touching the wall comes sooner rather than later of course and she ends up in an ice cave with a fae male named Kir. Of course, he is dreamy and everything she could ever want if she didn't think fae are terrible monsters.

I found the world-building to be enough to draw me in but not too much to distract me or overwhelm me. the character-building was great made me feel like I was right there. There is some spice, but nothing too drastic. It all went together to form a great story.

P.S. The only thing I hate is I have to wait for book 2: So Wicked are the Witches. Hopefully, it won't be too long. If you like fairy romance books with a little bit of smut this could be the book for you.
