About this listen

Where the fae and human realms meet…

Same old sleepy small-town France. I spend my days serving patisserie badly to the outlandish crowd at the café, and writing folklore research papers that will never, ever be published.

That’s until my clanger of a drunken hookup with the town’s hot new doctor, who turns into a hideous drac and eats Grampi’s favourite goat. Oh, and not to mention, a troop of ragtag fae storms my home, a fatal illness devastates the town, and a fae curse threatens Grampi’s life.

I may be having trouble accepting this new and delightful side of reality, but my knowledge of folklore means I have a shot at sorting this whole mess out before the town and everything I love is destroyed. The only thing is, I’ll have to work with the devious, scumbag doctor (he’s still picking goat out of his teeth). And he just might be the biggest challenge of all.

With flawed characters and strong emotional arcs, the Folkloric series weaves a beguiling hidden fae world with epic stakes, all the feels and delectable series-wide, slow-burn romance. The chosen one and the perfect hero were so traumatised by the goblins, they upped and left for another book.

One of the best fantasy novels I had read this year!

"The stories you collect are more important than you know. Tales of fae help humanity remember the other parts of themselves—help them remember us.” (ch 22)

Camille is obsessed with folklore and hopes to publish a paper on it. For her research, she eagerly interviews locals for their stories, despite their belittling attitudes toward her. Of course she doesn't really believe that fae and the creatures in the folklore really exist. She finds out soon enough after a night of drinking and a one-night stand with the town's new doctor, Lucas... That one night opens her eyes to not just him, but to the world of fae that had been right under her nose her entire life!

She's catapulted into this world, a little disoriented, and has to adapt fast. Her grampi's life is endanger due to an unknown fae curse and she has to find the cure. Plus she's reluctantly tasked to become a Keeper of the boarderlands that lay between the human and fae realms... in partnership with Lucas, of course.

I decided to read the book while listening to it, which I think was ideal! This story is beautiful and well-written. Enjoyed the narrator, too. Love the world the author built with memorable characters (Mushum is just adorbs!) and fumbling heroic journey. I enjoyed it immensely and has to be one of my favorite fantasy reads/listens this year! Just got the audiobook for book 2, so am looking forward to seeing what's in store next!!!

FYI, this isn't really a romantasy. It's more of a fantasy adventure mystery. If you like Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them (J.K. Rowling 2016 film) you might like this book.

Loved the overall effect!

The narrator, Liz May Brice, does amazing voices, and has a wonderful drama that suits both the seriousness and the hilarity. Plus, the Author's descriptions are beautiful and effective--also for both. The way that Fae is described is not overly wordy, but comes into crystal focus.
When I originally read the blurb for this book I thought it sounded amazing. What a great blend of drama--which while it does grow more serious--something much more absurd!
Overall, wonderful, and the conclusion promises another entertaining romp in the next book!

Intriguing and a lot of fun

Absolutely loved this book. It tells of the fae but from a french folklore background which was very new to me. Highly recommended

A fresh take!

The beginning was a bit slow/rocky but the story grew better and better as it went along!

I'm looking forward to starting book 2!

I don't want spoil anything so I'm keeping my review short. If you enjoy a fresh take on various folklore, this is a good pick!

It was a very enjoyable listen / read!

The otherworldly does exist

Kami just wants to publish her book about folklore, but taking care of her sick grandfather and the goat farm while working her job at the Boulangeri doesn’t leave much time. After a drunk roll in the hay with the new doctor she starts seeing trolls, goblins and other fay. She soon finds that she has a new job. I read the book but the audiobook is even better. What a great listen!

Great story, wonderful narration

The narrator was perfect for this story and the book was phenomenal. The story is rich with lore and world building. There was the perfect amount of mystery and twists and turns to keep the story interesting while giving plenty of backstory and character development. I loved it!

Rich characters and world building.

I love the Folkloric series and this audiobook was an excellent companion to it.

The narrator's pronunciation of the places, people, and things helped move me into the Folkloric world. If I had not read the book first, I may have been a little confused with the many French words and names, but since I had, it simply enriched the story.

This series is worth your time and money if you enjoy suspension of disbelief and want a fun story that has roots in history and mythology with hints of a romance that doesn't overshadow the main plot.
