My Review: 4 Out Of 5 Stars

Genre: Another-World, Faeries, Mystery, Romance, Royal-Court, Scary, Supernatural, Suspense--

Rebecca is over wasting her time working as a waitress in a diner, wanting to do something that actually pertains to her art degree. Deciding to take a risk, she quits her job and scours the internet to find something asap. Surprisingly, Rebecca finds her dream position in a Museum in Ireland and they hire her during her phone interview. Rebecca relocates across the ocean to an entirely new country, but it seems like there is something going on in her new land. Something she is not sure she can describe or is even real, but somehow Rebecca is in the middle of the situation and determined to get to the bottom of it.

I am always up for books about the Fae, there is just something about them and their customs, magic and word play that just resonates in me and I have to read all faery books I come across. When I read the synopsis for this series, I knew I was going to read these books. I found the story to be very engaging, from the second chapter on I was fully invested in Rebecca's journey and completely curious as to what was going on and what would happen next. I will say that I picked up very strong vibes of the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning when I first started the books, with the woman far from home and alone with strange, scary things after her that can't be explained and an enigmatic man who keeps showing up but who is very frustrating. The plot took it's own direction but I feel like this would be a good next read for fans of that world and series.

And sure, while there was a lot of mystery and cool supernatural danger doing on, I feel that the heart of this series was a romance. Even the ending sentence- Best of all, he was mine.- was full of heart and a little bit swoony. The first book started out introducing two attractive, intense, brooding (and maybe a little bit crazy) strangers, both of whom appear to be interested in Rebecca (for what purposes we do not really know). And there started my concern that this was going to be a love triangle, which are not my favorite, to be honest. But I was really happy when the triangle fairly quickly was broken and the heart throb of my dreams took the lead. The person (...sort of person?) that Rebecca ended up with was always my favorite choice with his dominant personality and unflinching morality. Yep, this is a love that I can fully support.

I really liked that The Fae Games are two books that make a complete series with no cliff hanger or real loose ends, and a HEA (for now) that I appreciated. There was an entire plot arc with character development that took place over the span of two books, which really read like one book, so make sure to pick up both or just get the set. I did see that there will be another book in the series but it will be about Ashley (who I absolutely adore!) so it is more a spin off and not necessary to read- but of course I want to. I had not read a book by Jill before but I really enjoyed her world building and the imagination used for the supernatural elements of the story- I would love to read more from her and see what else she can bring to life.

I voluntarily read a complimentary copy of this title.
