Her Veil series was insta-love at first 1-click and it left me hungry for more. So when Pippa announced she'd be starting a new adult UF, It Immediately went to the top of my TBR shelf. ~Fortunately, I was lucky enough to receive a copy ahead of the publication date. A big thanks to Bloomsbury for gifting me this treat (ARC) in exchange for an honest review.~City of Fae is a seductive mix of Celtic mythology, mystery, thriller & suspense with a healthy dash of sexy romance, and I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute:Since the Fae came out of hiding in the seventies, humans are no longer the top predators on earth. The Fae are quicker than humans, stronger. They are seductive, beautiful, but it is their touch every human should fear. The Fae live off human aural energy, referred to as draiocht. Which is why the government issued the trinity law:Look but don't touch.Touch but don't feel.Feel, but never ever love.Alina, a down-on-her-luck reporter is about to break them all when Sovereign (Reign for short), a Fae turned rock star stumbles onto the train station and into her dreary life. He requires her help to escape a those who are hunting him. Sensing a story, she helps him out against her better judgement, and is soon not only knee-deep in Fae politics but falling under Reign's bespellment as well.The underbelly of Fae society is far more dangerous than humans are aware of. Trapped underground, the Fae Queen conspires to break free of her prison, and to attain her goal, those who oppose her must die. The Queen is really the stuff of nightmares. She's not only creepy, she's a crawler as well. Hope you like spiders!There are traitors everywhere, no one's motives can be trusted, perhaps not even Sovereign's...In City of Fae, Pippa Dacosta has created two compelling main characters. Reign's outward appearance is that of an archetypical playboy who knows how attractive he is to humans and plays his role expertly, while never revealing his deeper and darker side to the adoring human public.Alina is a similarly well crafted character. Initially down on her luck and alone in the world, her association with Reign stimulates her personal growth even as it brings shocking revelations, an uncertain future and a life altering view on her own existence. It's a compelling tale of how a young woman grows to accept the role fate has dealt here while staring the uncertain future defiantly in the face.It's no secret that Pippa Dacosta is a fan of Moning's Fever series, and if you like that series, this one should appeal to you as well. Pippa pays tribute to Moning by naming her main character Alina, which was Mac's sister in the Fever series. Reign is a swoon worthy alpha, but luckily, he doesn't share Barron's sourly, somewhat misogynic & rather crude personality I never really cared for. (Oh, shush, all you fangirls, it's true!) This should make it appeal to a younger audience as well as more adult readers.City of Fae is an intense thrill ride filled with twists and turns you won't see coming, it will take you on emotional rollercoaster and leave you begging for more of Pippa Dacosta's literary crack. It is that addicting. So clear off space on your shelf, this new series looks to be amazing. I don't mind that the cover is absolutely stunning either. This book is a keeper:-) do yourself a favor and read it!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Again beware of the good neighbors! By Sarit The City of Fae definitely falls into the category of a "great dark Urban fantasy". I really enjoyed it a lot! (But It is not the first book by Pippa DaCosta that I enjoy to read.)The Fae came "out" in the 70's to live with the Humans and because the Fae can be tricky and be spell you but yet there had to be three laws they had to abide by - The trinity law est. 1974. If you touch them, they take part of your essence (Draiocht). This is what sustains the Fae, but it also be spells the human they touch. Not right away, but after a few Touches, the person getting Touched becomes an addict. So the first law Look but not touch.The second is touch but not feel. It mean that "s*** can happen" and reality and the allure sometimes stronger then you. So if this happen to you try to not feel anything for them.... because it is the beginning of your doom.The third law is - Feel, but never, never love - if you fall for a Fae your doom is Complete. The Fae will never love you back and you will end as essence supplier to you master.The main character, Alina, had so much spunk and brave. (even when she discovered a lot of awful things about the purpose of her existence). On the day she got fired, Alina happen to stumbles upon a slumped Fae rock star, Reign, at the platform subway station. She knows the laws and risks surrounding physical contact with the Fae. But as a journalist, she can't help thinking that this chance meeting could land her a story. So, she assists him. It was weird because she also found herself helping him to escape the frightening, elite Fae authority (FA) agents. Now, he seems to be around every corner....Little does Alina know but she is about to break the trinity rules, while sending everything she thought she knew into disarray.Reign's keen interest in Alina is peculiar. She wonders if she's being bespelled by this handsome and irresistible Fae. And then he shows her another side to his world. Soon she discovers that the world she believed to exist is far different from anything she could have ever imagined.The Fae think of themselves as "higher beings". The Fae are quicker, stronger, seductive, beautiful, it is their touch every human should fear. They believe that humans are worthless. The humans are no longer the top predators on earth. The Fae will use them and throw them' away once they're done. To them Earth is a playground they can trash until they're called home and the laws are only a temporary obstacle.Under the streets of London there is very old and hungry Fae. She is their queen, but the humans know nothing about her and her plains. They also don't know that she belongs to those Fae that banished from the Fae realm. In fact she is one of the most ancient and powerful. This ancient entity, hunger not just for the measly magic that the human world could provide the Fae. but her hunger for power corrupt her long ago. This kind of hunger was the reason to her banishment from her world, there she turned from a beautiful creature to a monster. Half of her body is a giant spider.And like a good spider that she is now, she is sitting below and patiently weave her cobwebs how to take control. She was trapped there by the four keepers power. But suddenly somebody begone to kill this keepers and their power to keep her there started to dwindle. Soon her prison cell will crack.She also tricked and bound other powerful Fae to her needs and they must obey to her. As she can't come out from her underground prison they are bound to do whatever she wish.Alina, comes to find that, she becomes a wanted woman from both the human & Fae laws and the hidden underground Fae.The world building was absolutely fantastic. The plot is brilliant, constantly spiraling in unforseen directions and taking the story to new books. The Fae are not hidden in this book, like most paranormal books, they're out in the open and everybody knows about them. You and the heroine believes she's normal until you both finds out that she's not. The idea of the Fae getting kicked out of their world, only to live underground in ours, until they come out to humans is fantastic. It’s unusual to read a book where the Fae aren’t the ones in power and for all they are revered here, they hold no power and live like homeless people. The cast is of well developed and complex characters that will make you root for them and cry over the choices they have to make.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A new fresh take on fae - I loved it! By Stephanie Verhaegen (Bookfever) Look, but don't touch.Touch, but don't feel.Feel, but never ever love.I absolutely love books about fae but I haven't read many that I actually thought were that great. So I'm thrilled to say that City of Fae definitely falls into the 'great' category. I really enjoyed it a lot!The main character, Alina, was so much fun to read about. She had so much spunk and even when she discovered a lot of awful things about her existence, she still managed to be brave and she could kick some serious ass. I love female main characters like that. I also gotta say that I loved the way the author wrote her relationship with Reign. This is aboslutely not a case of insta-love (thank god) but it's was still intense. I loved their dynamic.I can't say much about the story because I don't want to give too much away but damn it was good. I loved the idea of the fae who had come "out" in the 70's (if I remember correctly). Humans know the fae can be tricky and bespell you but yet they're intrigued by them. Fae are one of my favorite creatures to read about and I can honestly say that the fae in this book belong to my top three for sure.And of course were there are fae, there's a fae queen. But holy s*** she was creepy. All I'll say is... spiders. And I hate spiders. They scare the crap out of me. And the part spiders play in this book... there's some icky moments for sure. I don't want to scare anyone away from this book but wow. I did like how crazy the fae queen was, though. It made for an interesting part of the story.City of Fae was my first Pippa DaCosta book and I loved it. Her writing was really great. I loved the setting of London, the way she created these fae, even the queen was pretty awesome (in a totally creepy way) to read about. And of course I loved that it was new adult. It was a new fresh take on fae. I would hightly recommend this book.
