LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, PopSugar, Polygon, The Globe and Mail, She Reads

Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.

So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.

But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.

I Can't Wait for book 2! Wendell is an utter nuisance . . . and I love him for it. And clearly he has fallen in love with Emily - who in typical scientist fashion couldn't make sense of this and had to do a scientific experiment in order to determine if this would make sense

I read this book in 2023 for the first time. Since then, I couldn’t help but buy the audiobook and feel I could listen to this over and over. Narration is a nice touch to really bring you into the story. Love Elle’s accent! Really brought the book to life and felt like a totally new book. This is by far my favorite book at the moment, and I’m truly excited to own the complete series in both audiobook form and hard copy. If anyone hasn’t read this book yet, I highly recommend it!

it started out great, but it lost me about halfway through. maybe I needed to relisten to part of it.

3.5 stars. This was an interesting and enjoyable tale, just all over the place so much that at times I wondered if it had become a completely different story altogether.
