My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Danielle Ackley-McPhail’s The Halfling’s Court (A Bad-Ass Faerie Tale Book 1) is a Fae MC a modern urban fantasy tale. Where Sons of Anarchy meets Lord of The Rings. He is half human and half fae and this guy is a great leader of an MC. He is on a journey to reconcile with a past he knows nothing about. Danielle pulls out all the stops to give us a mixed-up cast of fun characters with secrets and lies, trials and tribulations, danger and perils, good vs evil along the way. I would have liked to see this as a full novel and more depth in the characters but having said that it is an engaging read. Hang on and enjoy the ride.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Halfling’s Court: A Bad-A$$ Faerie Tale is book one in Danielle Ackley- McPhail is the first in her Bad-A$$ Faerie series. This is an interesting take on Faerie and Fae stories.

I’ve never imagined Faeires as big, motorcycle riding, MC leading burley men. Lance Cosain changes that aspect to the very core. No more are they these little Tinklebell fairies we have come to know. If you love motorcycles and the paranormal then this is a book for you.

Ackley- McPhail has created characters that will stick with you in this action packed fantasy she has created. This book is written in a Lance’s perspective, so males should have no problem getting behind this protagonist.

This has been an enjoyable read. If I was to have anything bad to say it would be, it took me awhile to get used to her writing style. While there’s nothing wrong with it, I did not enjoy it. That being said, I can’t wait to read the next in this bad-a** series.

Hold on we are going for a ride.

This the first book in the Bad-Ass Faerie Tale book series. This is a motorcycle story with some magical characters in the storyline. I went on a motorcycle ride through this story with the characters. There were twists and turns which made it an exciting ride. The characters are fully developed and complex in nature. All Lance wants to do is live with his love, but that is not so easy. He has some obstacles and is in a race to find an ancient realm to sit on the throne as the king. I highly recommend this story to take the journey with Lance and see if it was worth the journey.

Fairies, motorcycles, MC clubs, what do you get? An action packed story that is one of a kind and the best story in the fantasy realm I’ve read. I love fae and MC stories. Lance is half-human, half-fae and the head of Wild Hunt MC club. The adventures are wild and crazy starting with his old lady, Suzanne, disappearing to assassination attempts by family members. The emotions will flow all over the chart as you read the story. Wonderfully written characters that are not all tutu and wands. The struggles are real. Watch out for the road gremlins as you’re reading….

The Halfling’s Court by Danielle Ackley-McPhail is the first book in the A Bad-Ass Faerie series. This is an interesting mix of Fae and MC genres, in a way that I don’t think I have seen done before. The author has taken the best elements in each and combined them into a great and exciting story. It is an action packed story the whole way through.
The author has created relatable and engaging characters inside a world that feels new. Each book this author seems to write is completely different from her last and you never know what you are going to get. For me this makes not just the books exciting but the author as well. I though this was a strong start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next book.

The Halfling’s Court had such an intriguing synopsis that I just had to pick it up. Danielle Ackley-McPhail is definitely going to be an author I follow in the future and go back and read previous work. The way she blended faerie and MC worlds was well done and had me captured from the beginning. I love stories with fairies and enjoy the MC novels I have read and so to put them together was generous of Danielle. So, if you enjoy either of these themes definitely try this one out!! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a mystical, fast paced read.

4 out of 5 stars

This is the first book by this author that I have read and it was great. The Halfling Court is a well-crafted and thought-out book. The Characters are well written I loved the way they played off of each other and their quirks.

If you like motorcycles and paranormal then you will love reading this book. We meet Lance Cosain, the halfling leader of The Wild Hunt MC, he protects his turf and his people from attacks ordered by Dair na Scath, the high king of the fae. With the help of his MC, they hold their own against rogue fae, redcaps, and the gremlins of the road. Why can’t Lance just settle down that’s all he wants just to settle and peace.
But instead, he goes toe-to-toe with the high king’s champion over an ancient dagger and the claim to a throne. Who will win? Who would be the best king for the realm?
You need to read this story to find out…

This is an interesting mash-up of faerie lore and motorcycle bad-assery. I was intrigued how that would play out in a novel. The mystical beings were described well, and were easy to imagine. I liked the development of Lance’s powers as a halfling. There were parts of the story that got a bit mundane for me, and I would have liked a little more character development of the side characters. However, it was an interesting read, and the first I’ve read that delved deep into the motorcycle culture, so that was cool and different for me to learn about. If you like paranormal and motorcycle themes, give it a go!

The Halfling’s Court is the first book in the Bad *** Faerie Tale series by Danielle Ackley-McPhail. I love that it melds the fae with MC…. motorcycles, and an original take on ‘The Wild Hunt’- magic, fantasy, mayhem, drama, complex characters, and all the extra creative touches that I have come to expect from Ms. Ackley-McPhail’s stories.
I love that Ms. Ackley McPhail has such a wonderfully creative imagination, as her stories are nothing if not unique and original and this one is no exception.
I’m looking forward to seeing what she does next.

Thank you, Danielle Ackley-McPhail!

I enjoyed this story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. This is a well written story about a motorcycle club with a paranormal twist. The characters brought the story to life and are relatable. They pulled me into the story from the beginning. Lance is someone who just wants to spend life with his love but the king of the realm has something different in mind. Both are on a hunt for an ancient realm and a claim to the throne. What will happen between these two? I enjoyed all the characters and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first by this author. The overall story itself was an interesting take on fae myths. I love fae books but this one has an added MC element in it. It was a quick read. Lance is a halfling and embarks on a journey that forces him to face his past. This story is one that will leave you wondering what will happen next.

Lance Cosain knows he is a halfling, half-human half-fae is the leader of The Wild Hunt Motorcycle Club . Not knowing his origin , he clashes with few of the bad characters and also learn about his past. The book is quite engrossing and is filled with funny and cunning characters, and the illustrations add more to the charm. It is a very engaging book and is fully action packed.

To Be A Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland – Review by Sarah Hammel

To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles #1)To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To Be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland is a very interesting take on the faerie stories, though I was not expecting the story to be about a Titania and Oberon that were not THE Titania and Oberon that end up ruling over the Seelie court together. The pacing at times felt a bit awkward, there would be an event that would happen but would not get talked about and I would have to go back to see if they had even finished the event or if it was going to be continued later. Other than that, I did really enjoy the story of Titania coming into her own power and faith of herself as she deals with anxiety and having lost most of her family, it can be seen in a very inspiring way. It was also very fun to see it bring in witches and vampires into the storyline to bring those genres together. I do always enjoy watching characters go from one type of life and must adjust into another type of life very suddenly. This is recommended if you enjoy anything faerie related.

If you’re looking for something cute and relatively light, overall, this is a great choice. A few times, the book seems to move way too fast, and other times, it moves way too slowly, and some of the character relationships seem a little two-dimensional. However, overall, the main character has some interesting challenges she has to overcome. Though I did feel that I was somewhat “tossed into the world,” with very little explanation as to what was and wasn’t allowed to happen, you definitely pick it up fairly quickly. It’s a fun little adventure that I found myself captivated by, despite some of the things I thought I maybe didn’t like.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To Be a Fae Queen is the first book in The Realm Chronicles by Tricia Copeland. This epic fantasy adventure is centered around a 15-year-old princess Titania, who is forced to take on the throne after the death of her three brothers. Her father trains her in weaponry, music, books and history making her a well-rounded capable woman. But, when the real calamity hits, he stonewalls his daughter and entrusts his army to trace the enemy. But when the army fails, Titania has to take the responsibility on herself to find this new enemy who is responsible of stealing something very valuable which belongs to her and her father.
This is a coming-of-age adventure princess story filled with action, mystery and danger. Titania is a very fiery heroine, though I did feel her character is a bit too mature for the age. The challenges she faces are grave and the obstacles many. The crown comes with a hefty price to pay. How Titania embraces all these challenges forms a very captivating plot and I am looking forward for more of her adventures in the coming books.

I am a Fantasy and YA book lover, but this is my first Fae novel… I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. I have to say that I was impressed. Tatiana is a great heroine, smart, fearless, brave, and compassionate. She knows her mind, and is unafraid to be stubborn and follow the paths her instincts tell her to be true. This book has all the markings of great YA lore: a gutsy hero, an adventure to save a kingdom, and many trials along the way for Tatiana to prove her worthiness, or die trying. She is a well-rounded character and as admirable as any in the face of battle. Her close compatriots are also very well crafted and diverse: Foster, her potential love interest; Kane, the loyal and smart general; Tatiana’s own father, the king, whom she admires and is often a confidante. I was very invested in the outcome, and impressed with the depiction of the magical world. Copeland is very skilled at drawing the reader in with her characters, beautiful word illustrations of Middle Earth, and lots of battles and tests to keep readers engaged. A good escape that I thoroughly enjoyed.

To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland is not a typical read for me, and it took me a while to get into it; however, once I got in the groove, I loved it. The author has a way of making the reader invested in the characters and the world she’s created. This book is everything you could ever want to see in a Fantasy novel: faeries, monsters, magical places and sparkling characters. The book’s protagonist, a fairy princess named Titania, is faced with the duty of claiming the throne and becoming Queen in the land of her people. After hardships, loss, and many challenges, Titania must prove herself to be the rightful ruler. This is the first installment in the Realm Chronicles by Copeland, and I will be looking forward to the second. 4 out of 5 stars.

To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles Book 1) by Tricia Copeland

This book is everything I needed without knowing it :Adventure, danger, romance, mystery, suspense, and magic. Add in the kick ass characters and fun plot line and you’ve got yourself a great read!

I love a good fantasy novel but it’s easy to get lost and confused in a world someone else made up; but this book covered all the bases so that didn’t happen. She was very descriptive and clear and even provided maps! It’s very evident Tricia put a lot of time and thought into her character development and boy did it pay off. I’m hesitant to read a book with a young main character that may be too angsty/coming of age because I’m currently living with one and I don’t need to think about two! Luckily, Tricia delivered the perfect protagonist and gave her a great plot to work with.

Without wanting to give too much away my only constructive feedback is that sometimes I felt some scenes were a bit vague. Now this could also be because she is setting things in motion that will all come together in the next book. This reader can’t wait to find out!

Titiana is the only daughter of the Fae King Oberon of Aubren. She has experienced loss. Her four brothers were killed three years ago. Three years ago was the last time she heard her mother’s voice. Titiana feels alone in her world. Her only refuge is the quiet time spent with her father and mother after the evening meal and her caretaker, Alfreda.

The peace of Aubren is threatened when the crystal anchors of the Faerie Ring start disappearing in the middle of the night. Titiana is placed under watch with a soldier named Foster. Titiana desires to help her kingdom, but the King urges her to stay away from matters of the state. Does Titiana follow her father’s orders? Will the young fae princess of fifteen discover her true destiny? Will the princess find true love?

The author’s use of imagery in this story places you in Aubren and on the sidelines of this fantastical mystical story. From beginning to end, you will be engrossed in the tale of magic, first love, and destiny.

I always love getting stuck into a good fantasy book. Faeries are always great characters to base the story around. Titania was never meant to be Queen but when her brothers die, she is the only living heir left to the Fae King. Titania is anything but ready to rule, but she musters up the courage to do what is right, but who can she trust??? she does not know. There is so much happening in this book suspense, lies, deceit, magic and adventures.

This is the first book I’ve had the chance of reading by Copeland. I’ve heard several of her books and have never read one. This one caught my eye.

Titania is a Fae Princess soon to be Queen. When something that haunts her people she takes it upon herself. She notices that her crystals are going missing. The quote I chose for Titania is: “We will need lanterns and fuel. But first, we must find out if there are any crystals left in the Faerie Ring or if the kobold have absconded with all of them. If there are not any left, I doubt they will return. They will probably move on to the next kingdom.”

Highly recommended for YA Fae lovers.

What a fascinating read for a first book into a fae series that is very different than any I have read before. This is my first time reading this author and I really liked her take on how the fae were made and their purpose in the different realms. Her imagery painted such a beautiful picture in my mind that I could SEE the landscape/world. I truly appreciated that her book was a true YA book in the fact that her language was clean and the young love wasn’t sexualized. Thank you, Ms. Copeland.

Additionally, I was happy to see that there are other books based off this world! I will be looking for those books next!

This for me was like Game of Thrones meets A Court of Rose and Thorns. I really warmed to the female protagonist in this story. Titania is a brave, determined and proud princess who goes on to become the Queen of the Fae after her brothers are killed in battle. I often forgot she was so young as she appears to be very wise and strong in her mind. The writer perfectly sets the scene and builds this story up gradually so that the great events aren’t overwhelming even thought hey are enthralling and exciting. I am excited to read the rest of this series and find out what happens next in Titania’s reign.
