But hey, that’s harmless. It’s not like a malignant ghoul is going to attack her. Or a sexy billionaire will show up trying to buy her red jacket. Or a werewolf will attack Granny Rose. Because that would be whacked.
THE DARK FAE – TERRY SPEAR USA Today Bestselling Author Alicia can recognize the mischievous fae when they show up to “play” with the humans.

SELECT REVIEWS:
“It was fast paced, entertaining, witty, and even swoon-worthy at times. Rachel’s characters were fun to follow, and Violet is sarcastic and strong and a force to be reckoned with—everything I love in a female lead.” –Cover2CoverBlog review of The Faerie Guardian
“Turmoil, heartache and unexpected romance – all three are immersed into this tale of the Fae.”— Craving YA Reads review of Dark Promise
“The plot was fast paced and interesting … I can’t recommend the rest of the trilogy enough.” –The Mad Reviewer on Feyland: The First Adventure
“All in all, this is hands down one of the most unique Fae stories I have ever read before- India Drummond has truly created a beautiful world.” –Avery’s Book Nook review of Blood Faerie
“Enter the World of the Fae: Magical worlds aren’t just for young adults, I enjoyed this tale and look forward to reading the other books in this series.” –ParaNormal Romance Reviews of The Dark Fae
“I thought this was a great, quick summer read! Great story combined with bits of mythology and Irish folklore. I read the entire trilogy in a few days.” –Kristin David on Ehriad
“Once I started this book I could not put it down, I had to know what happened next.” ~ Amazing Book Come To Life review of Once (Gypsy Fairy Tale)
I loved this! I was
enthralled, enchanted and enamored by this lively fae story that moved
fast and kept me riveted from beginning to the end. There just weren’t
any dull moments. The characters were fun and each was on a trip of
self-discovery. This is a story that would be perfect for tweens and
teens . But… it’s not just for the young. I really enjoyed it, too, and
I’m in my 60s.
The characters
shined! Alicia was raised as a human who could see the fae. All she knew
about the fae royal kingdoms, she had learned from her father’s
journal. As she and her friend, Cassie, were vacationing on South Padre
Island, Deveron, a dark fae. made a move on Cassie. Alicia literally
pours cold water on him to put a halt to his shenanigans. Deveron
decides that he will enjoy paying her back. He might be surprised,
though, to find the tables turned on him.
Bottom-line: If you
like to escape to magical fantasy worlds with fun romances, captivating
characters and non-stop. entertaining adventure, rush to whatever
bookstore you use, and buy this book now!
And another review!!!
Loved this fun review of The Dark Fae also!
“What an amazing read. The Dark Fae is so
dark and twisty, while at the same time amusing and flirty. This is the
first Terry Spear book I’ve ever read and I have to say I’m astonished
at the creativity that went into this
first installment of the World of Fae series. I was riveted from the
very first sentence. Alicia is a smart aleck who doesn’t quite know when
to back off. She had me laughing more times than I can count. Even
though she’s scared for her life, she’s tough and won’t back down. I
respect that in a heroine. Deveron is delicious and dangerous. He’s the
bad boy we all love and he will not let readers down. All of the drama
with the dark fae vs. the human world really kept me enthralled. I
couldn’t wait to find out whether Alicia would get caught and what would
happen to her if she did. Oh and let’s not forget the romance. Wowzers!
Alicia and Deveron are hot together…mostly due to the fact that she’s
always sniping at him. Like I said, very amusing. This is a couple all
readers will root for. They’re the couple who doesn’t belong together so
of course, we all want them to make it. The Dark Fae is definitely a
must read and I will be recommending it to everyone I know. I can’t wait
to devour the rest of the series!”
