About this listen

There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I'm about to break every single one.

Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie.

When I'm chased across the wicked border and caught by its reclusive ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal.

Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae.

But I don't have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of sinister paths, deceptive stairways, and devious creatures. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment.

Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy.

I should have known my sexy captor wouldn't play fair. The deeper I plunge into this dangerous world of Solitary Fae, the more I'm entangled in their ruler's seductive web of desire—and the forbidden temptations he offers.

The price of losing this wicked game is everything I love. But winning might just cost me my heart.

Kiss the Fae is the first book in Natalia Jaster's scorching fantasy romance series, Dark Fables: Vicious Faeries. If you like heavy steam, enemies to lovers, and morally grey book boyfriends, be prepared to swoon for the villain. Intended for mature listeners.

GEM 💎💎

This book has so much detail and color. I love the way it was written. The romance is just up my ally. The steamy parts are written excellently. Sometimes those parts can be cringy in other novels but the way the author worded the scenes was… well find out for yourself :). The narrator was wonderful as well. Listen to it!

You remind me of the babe….

You remind me of the babe...
This book was so much fun! It had major Labyrinth vibes which just took it up a level for me!
With a bad@$$ female lead, and a devious dark king, this book will have you hooked from page one and will keep you craving more!

Lark is a sassy, mouthy, free spirit who loves her sisters, her father and her animal sanctuary & also enjoys a tumble with a fetching lad whenever the mood strikes.
When a recent tumble turns into a chase She ends up in Faerie and that never ends well.

This was full of adventure, surprises, tricks, fables, family, magic and more. It was an amazing story in a magical world, it was fun, spicy and full of snark and sass. I loved the chemistry and banter between Lark and Cerulean and I was a big fan of the spice.

Feel Good Enemies to Lovers Fantasy


Narrator: Amanda Leigh Cobb - always phenomenal with her dialects, accents, tone changes between characters.

This series follows three sisters (found family style) who have very different personalities but who all help protect endangered animals and foster injured animals. This role leads them to an unfortunate misunderstanding with the neighboring Fae rulers, who also have an affinity for the flora and fauna of their lands.
The sisters are forced to undergo their own "games" and challenges and the first book of the series focuses on Lark (sister) navigating the labyrinth of the Solitary Mountain as challenged by Cerulean (Fae Ruler of the Sky).

Lots of riddles and fables to challenge you as you read. Some were clarified towards the end; some may be further clarified in the subsequent books of the series.

Lark and Cerulean have an interesting story and good banter; some of the plot is obvious for a long time before the main characters figure it out. It wasn't as suspenseful as I wanted it to be; I never got super stressed for Lark, which I think was the goal of the trials of the mountain.

It's more of a feel good enemies to lovers type of fantasy read. Things are resolved enough in the first book that you could read it as a one-off of the series. That can be nice when you get tired of having to slog through a long series to get some resolution. However, it leaves you wondering what happens for her sisters (Juniper and Cove) in the subsequent books in the Vicious Fae series. So if you like a good series it delivers on that as well.

Spice: Slow burn with some open door, descriptive scenes and very sweet moments. I give 3 chili peppers.

I rated this a 3 because of my personal preferences for fantasy, as follows:
1) complex world building - this book is fairly straight forward which will be enjoyable for people who don't want to get bogged down and confused by complex world building.
2) Intricate and confusing world history/character history - I loved being stumped and struggling through riddles and prophecies. Jaster gives you some decent history that isn't too confusing to follow, which is likely preferred by some readers.
3) MORE STEAM PLEASE - I prefer 4-5 chili peppers (don't judge me, lol). So it may have slid into the 4 star range regardless of my other preferences if there were MORE spicy scenes.

So, this could easily be rated higher if your preferences vary somewhat from the ones I listed above as mine. I completed listening to the book in just a couple of days, so it did keep me entertained to keep listening.

I hope this review was helpful! Enjoy!

This is an AMAZING audiobook!!!

Natalia Jaster never disappoints with her amazing prose, unique stories and captivating characters.

I fell in love with Lark and Cerulean in Kiss the Fae. It is such a unique and entertaining story of humans and fae. It’s whimsical and deceitful. It’s brutal and tender. It’s exciting and spicy.

My reading experience with Kiss the Fae was with the audiobook. The narrators, Amanda Leigh Cobb and Tim Campbell did a phenomenal job capturing the essence of this story. The next book in the series, Hunt the Fae is out you better believe I used this month’s audible credit on it!

Words Magically Become Real

The written book was a wonder of Magic’s fairytales love on many forms and lots of 🔥. The special writing style of Natalia Jaster includes many poetic passages that enhance the story
And makes readers /listeners spellbound . I have written reviews on the books which are under Robin Manor. Perhaps first reading then listening is the most enjoyable way to experience this special world.
Both narrators were phenomenal although I do wish there was more Tim Campbell included. Now I am on pins and needles waiting for the rest of the series to come to audible.

Voice actors were good

I liked the female voice actor. She did very well. My problem was with the story itself, though a good one this writer used so many words! So many that I was listening, but not listening at the same time. She would go on and on and on. I can’t even listen to the next two after this because I’m afraid they’ll just be full of so much of nothing so many words that didn’t need to be there. I feel like I suffered through the book just to get through it.

Imaginative world building

Overall very good read although slow in beginning. Don't understand why Audible says both male and female narration but then you only hear male voice at the very end. I hope the other books include more information on backgrounds of two sisters. The cruelties between both human and fae worlds were atrocities that both sides seem to strive towards changing. The MF was confusing to me in that she acts like fae in story but the story depicts her as human. The MM character was weak in my opinion for not trying harder to find and thank MF for saving him. The dialog between the MC was fun to read.

"Any love worth sharing's got to have jagged edges, especially if it's forbidden."

I was drawn in from the first word. The narrator did an incredible job from the accents and differentiating between her head and speaking voice, as well as the few other characters that had dialogue, to the cadence, flow and inflections. I was so sad that the MMC only had one POV chapter because his voice actor was also incredible. The story itself. This was technically a reread for me but it was really the first time. I skimmed so badly when I read it last (trying to get to the "good stuff") that I missed EVERYTHING. The tension and angst, the foreshadowing, the lyrical writing style, the "to the reader" story telling, the all important message to honor nature because we are irrevocably tied to it. Throw in some found family, a Jareth-inspired MMC, enemies to lovers, and fa(e)ted mates and I'm hooked. I'm eager to hear Juniper's and Cove's stories and learn how they fix the rift between their people.

Worth the wait!!!

When I first read this book I was hoping for an audio version because it was so hard to put this book down! And just like the book this audio didn't disappoint. The narration was excellent. Amanda Cobb did a great job. And Tim Campbell as the voice of Cerulean perfection. This story is a wonderful world building start to what is the Vicious Fairies. Magic, Fairies, and some sexy sexiness. I highly recommended this book/audio to everyone. Cant wait for the next story.
