    About this audiobook

    The battle between Dark and Light is about to begin.

    Caroline Ellis' sixteenth birthday sets into motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. A descendant of Virginia Dare, the first child born in the lost colony of Roanoke, and unaware of her birthright as the heir to the throne of the Light Fae, it isn’t until Caroline begins a tumultuous relationship with Devilyn Reilly that the truth of her heritage is revealed.

    Devilyn is the only Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark, and struggles to maintain that precarious balance to avoid succumbing to the power of the Dark within him. He is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her and destroy all hope for unity among the Fae. He promises Caroline that he will protect her at all costs, even when it means protecting her from himself.

    Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, Fae draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.

      I like the fact that their are 2 narrator reading their own parts. I haven't came across the book like this at all. But I think it's an excellent idea to have different people reading for a different person.

      Notes:*Actual rating: 2.5-2.75/5 stars*Really, Devilyn, it's not cool to be someone just to use them as means to an end. I know she was the designated mean girl in the story, but, come on, she was a girl, a human, with feelings. And even if you justified that she didn't even know that she was being used, still, your actions were, not cruel, but completely unnecessary. Amicable break, my ass, you just magic away things. Are you centuries old or a teenager?*Fear is what drives you, Devilyn, not love. Who are you? Anakin Skywalker?*Caroline, prove to him what girls are made of. Seriously.

      The book was, simply, okay. I picked the book up for the wonderful cover, and because it was rated well, but I was disappointed, overall. It is selling really well, so I expected much more than what I got. First, the good. The book has a story that is very appealing, with a mash-up of fantasy, myth and contemporary elements, which I truly loved and thought worked really well. The main characters are distinct and have interesting back stories and personalities that draw you to them, whether you like them or not. The plot is paced fairly well, though it does, at times, seem slow due to the redundant nature of the author(s) writing.Now, the bad. The authors of this book had a good story to tell, but need a professional editor to make it a great read. As interesting as the plot and characters could be, there were many points in the story where the dialogue was awkward, the writing redundant (that is, descriptive scenes were overwrought with sentences that said, basically, the same thing as the last sentence), and the actions of minor (and some major characters) were silly or unlikely. While the two main characters were pretty well fleshed out (though there were some points in which they acted out of the norm, and there was no indication of why they would do so), the other characters seemed more like caricatures of a certain personality. This, is, perhaps, because the authors often tell you what a character is, instead of allowing their writing to show you more about the person. Better descriptive writing and some polishing could have solved this and made this book a much easier read.As it is, I am not suggesting people do not read the book. It was okay. I was interested in the plot, throughout. But go into it with the idea that the book is imperfect, if interesting. I hope that the authors think about heavier editing in the future, as their ideas are very good but need the help of some careful dialogue, better descriptions and fuller secondary characters. As is, I will not be buying the second installment of Fae because I have a long reading list and a review site to maintain.

      More like 2.5 stars.

      It seems that I've been cursed for the past few weeks or so, as I have read some pretty horrible books. This book wasn't exactly horrible, but I didn't enjoy myself while reading this.

      I understand that this is an ARC, but there are way too many spelling and grammatical mistakes, to the point where it distracted me from the plot. I can't count how many times your and you're were mixed up.

      At the beginning of every chapter, there was a few pages of back-story on the Fae. In my opinion, they were a bit useless. The only thing they achieved in doing was that it prevented the plot from moving forward, and nothing really happens until the very end.

      It was frustrating how much Caroline kept denying Devilyn's feelings. She noticed and acknowledged them one second, then the next, she would be questioning whether or not he liked her. It got pretty annoying.

      One thing I don't understand was why Devilyn took so long to actually tell her of her heritage. Ultimately, it would have kept her safe, and would have prevented a lot of the bad stuff from occurring. Really, why put it off?

      Heck, I'm starting to think the author did this just to cause other events to happen and to complicate the plot. In reality, it could have all been prevented very easily, and I found it hard to take the story seriously.

      Devilyn was annoying as well. All he spoke of was Caroline, Caroline, Caroline. Dude, obsessive much? That’s pretty much all that ensued during his point of view.

      My main pet peeve: There was a lot of high school stereotyping here. A lot. Not everyone who is a cheerleader/jock is a total jerk, FYI.

      With a slow-moving plot and characters that I feel indifferent to, I find it hard to give this book higher than 3 stars. It wasn't very entertaining, and didn't make good use of the topic of the Fae as much as I had hoped it would.

      It’s a wonderful fantasy story dealing with light & dark Fae (the traditional courts of the fairies), destined rulers and a whole lot of other drama! the story based in Roanoke, North Carolina and draws heavily from the missing colony lore surrounding it. There is a large theme of chosen family vs. blood family throughout the book: Are the bonds that we choose to create stronger than the bonds we are born into?I do have an affinity with every character, I think C.J Abedi had woven a train of anticipation to learning more about them: 1. Devilyn - Is a mixed Fae of dark and light, and their struggle in his soul. He supposed to become the King of the Dark Court, but is also prophesied to marry Caroline and unite the two Courts, which will apparently destroy the Dark Court). He’s got the prickly, overprotective, secretly sensitive and romantic thing down.2. Caroline - is a descendant of Virginia Dare, the baby who survived the mysterious disappearance of her mother and the rest of the Lost Colony. She supposed to become the Queen of the Light Court. Her character is natural, down to earth soul with a subtle, graceful beauty. Her "magik" essence is also evident before the character is enlightened to this herself.I so loved her internal monologues - they were so relatable and real. I think that most high school girls would think exactly like her. Her attraction to Devilyn is palpable and poignant with the 'to-and-fro' of their emotions, concessions, denials tantalizing and crescendo-building to their ultimate union.3. wonderful Teddy(Coraline's Bff),4. Odin- A "surrogate father" to Devilyn and his half sister Titania. I didn't understand this involvement of the Norse myth ( it could be anyone else), but I hope that things will be cleared in future. maybe it another connection to the theme that I mention above of relationship between real parents and adopted parents.5.Tatiana - The author took her from the light court and transfer her directly to the dark one here the absolute of Devilyn hatred towards his sister has bother me in the end.6 .And of course dear loveable Famous - It was heartbreaking when Devilyn had to saves its and what it costs him is so. ( I must mention it)Overall I was really pleased with the story. While there was some repetition I felt the overall story was very pleasant and a good romance for teens to read with the fantasy/supernatural twist. I do wait to see how the plot will be developed in the next books.
