I love how “Nightmare” is used as a term of endearment. I melt each and every time. The story continues to unfold in this 3rd book. It breaks my heart to see how the main couple is always being put into impossible situations and making impossible choices. But, in it all I can see the increasing love for each other growing. Slow burn but well worth it.
Fae Nightmare by Sarah KL Wilson is the 3rd in the Tangled Fae series.
This series keeps getting better with each book. Allie and Scouvrel are amazing characters!!
Fast paced, a little dark and lots of twisted twists. I kept finding myself on the edge of my seat. I cant wait for more!!
Fae Nightmare is a story of betrayal, love and forgiveness.
Allie has many eye-opening and thought provoking experiences in this part of her quest.
The town she grew up in has changed quite a bit from the time she entered the fae world to the moment of her return.
There’s an unknown dark presence hanging over the town like a shroud.
Like before the townsfolk are against Allie and decide that she might make a great sacrificial lamb to appease those in higher power but Allie has other plans.
It soon becomes apparent that the only one that’s going to save the stolen children and the town is Allie…except she finds a little help in some very unexpected places.
I loved the twists Allie’s story took. I was definitely sitting on the edge of my seat through most of the story if not all. I enjoyed seeing Allie’s character grow and transform as well as the relationship between Allie and Scourvel.
The ending was a total surprise. I’m anxious to find out what’s going to happen next.
Sometimes it’s good that you fall behind on your “ 2 be read” lust as it means that when you get a series that’s as good as this, you get to read the next episode without delay.
I thoroughly enjoyed this part of Allie’s quest. It was such a rollercoaster episode that you didn’t know what was going to happen next.
Very exciting and enjoyable.
Most definitely recommend this.
Heart racing, action packed and emotionally thrilling adventure fill with exciting and engaging charters, witty banter, exciting twists and thrilling turns of fate. A great read from beginning to end that kept me on the edge of my seat.
First off, I thought this was going to be a trilogy, so I thought this was the last book, but it’s not! I was both ever so slightly disappointed there wouldn’t be a resolution yet and simultaneously thrilled that this amazing dark and devious fae tale would continue! Allie is out of the fae world and back into the human world now, but she has lost time, a lot of time really, ten years to be exact. Everything and everyone has changed and she’s finding many humans are every bit as perverse and malevolent as the fae. Meanwhile, Scouvrel is… still being Scouvrel. Up to his tricks and lies and a super low key, slow burning romance that I get the feeling is going to devastate me! Will it be in a good way or bad way? Time will tell, can’t wait for the next book!!
Nightmare for the Fae
I really enjoyed reading this book. This is book 3 in the series. The characters are wild and crazy. They are well developed. The plot flows well and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The book has action on almost every page. I’d recommend this book to those looking for a fantasy about the Fae. It has some exceptional twists.
Allie is determined to save every human, even those who have wronged her. She is constantly in pain due to how cruel everyone is to her but she doesn’t give up. Scouvrel is also being tortured.
Fae Nightmare is the third book in this series. It’s not your ordinary Fae story, and puts a completely different spin on the Fae of nursery rhymes. These Fae are dark, and desire to take over the Court of Mortals. Ally finds herself hated and held with suspicion by both Fae and mortals alike. Oh, and we mustn’t forget the evil twin! Can Ally be the Balance between two worlds? This series is so worth the read.
Oh my word. How do they keep getting better??!
I love this book beyond reason.
And what is up with those covers? They are the bomb.
I don’t know where to start …. and if I do start how I’ll ever end. It takes me like … a day to read these books. I know when I begin I’ll never be able to put it down. And while I’m reading I have to scream every detail to my sister so I’m not laughing and swooning alone (laughter is much more enjoyable when you share it ).
The character relationships and arcs are absolutely breathtaking. The plot is shocking and action-packed. WHY DOES IT KEEP SHOCKING ME? You think I would have learned by now, BUT NO. *rolls eyes*
My heart has been captured within this gorgeous story. I don’t know how I’ll get it back . . . . AND I’M FLIPPING OUT BECAUSE THE NEXT ONE ISN’T WRITTEN YET.
The dialogue was It’s so quotable. *squeals*
Setting – The magical, fantastical land of the Fae … so long as you pretend it’s not a living hell. Allie’s country (homeland) has it’s perks too, but it’s not as wild as the Fae.
Description – MY IMAGINATION IS DEFEATED. The details flowed right through the pages, stirring it into a movie in my mind. A beautiful, never ending line of pictures and words blending together like they were always ment to be. The colors and images were perfection.
Plot – Allie is still trying to end every Faerie story ever told …. it’s currently not going well for her. The pacing was amazing, as was the foreshadowing. Everything connected with the last books and leads into the coming two. (Which I’m dying to get my hands on BTW) I love that literally EVERYTHING possible is in Allie’s way and she still uses her emotions as fuel and rises.
Romance – Its aDoRaBlE . Cute. Clean. I WAS SHRIEKING AT THE ONE ONE POINT BECAUSE SCOUVREL WAS ADORABLE ABOUT HER MODESTY. *Is dead* Its still Enemies to Lovers (a trope I’m a sucker for) and therefore it’s perfection.
Content – Kissing between husband and wife. Mature topics. Some subtle “touching”. Abuse. Beatings. Fantasy Violence. Some light feminist views. Fae magic. This book can be dark? I guess it’s considered “dark fantasy” … but it’s not dark compared to some of the trash I’ve read. Lots of death. War. Battle. Etc. PG – 13
Characters – AFKHJSV I WILL NEVER STOP SHRIEKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. They have such good arcs and development. I appreciate how they’re strong and weak. They aren’t perfect, but they don’t let that weigh them down. The constant betrayal and never knowing who to trust makes it hard for relationships to develop.
Overall – IM NOT OKAY BECAUSE OF THAT ENDING. ALSO THEY ARE ADORABLE. AND I MUST GET MY HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER, BUT I’M STARTING TO DESPAIR BECAUSE I SUSPECT WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR THE FAE TO BECOME HUMAN AGAIN. (Don’t mind my nonsense and fangirling …. *coughs embarrassedly* JK. Not embarrassed.) It was a fairly clean, fun adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent inside this world.
**FTC DISCLOSURE** I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are mine, and mine alone. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t take my opinion personally. Thanks! 🙂
Finally, Allie is beginning to play the game! This was such an awesome story with Allie learning more about herself, her sister, the knights, and the world of the fae. I am enjoying this series immensely because it is quite original! Loved it!
I love the covers to the Tangled Fae series! All of them are beautiful. This one, Fae Nightmare, blends a bit more whimsy in with the danger. It’s fitting with Book 3 as we get to see Allie Hunter’s nurturing heart. She’s back in the human world, but things have changed in the ten years that she was gone. She needs to navigate the new dangers while figuring out a way to free the children and trap her evil sister, and she has to do all this without an ally. Allie is also desperately trying to get back to her trickster Fae husband, Scouvrel. Even though these two have been separated, we still get small glimpses of him in the Fae world. They might have a complicated relationship, but I’m rooting for them!
Here’s a quote from Fae Nightmare (Werex is speaking to Allie):
“War does not make sense, bloodthirsty mortal. Nor does peace. Love does not make sense and nor does hate. Magic does not make sense. But a life without any of them is a miserable echo of a thing.”
Dark, Intense and Utterly Thrilling!
“Twisted. That’s what our ancestors had meant by those words. Twisted by anger, twisted by pain, twisted by death and twisted by hands. They were all twisted. And I was becoming twisted, too.”
DAMN! This story just keeps getting better and better with more darkness, more twists, more suspense and it is extremely thrilling to read! From beginning to end Allie had me on the edge of my seat never knowing what was going to happen next to her or to everyone else. There are surprises and twists that you don’t see coming, which keep you captivated and highly entertained right to the end. This story is one hell of a rollercoaster ride!
Book three is packed full with intense action, plot twists that will leave you shocked, an interesting relationship that you might not be sure about yet, backstabbing and betrayals that will break your heart for Allie, and an ending that will completely blow you away!
I love how Allie is growing stronger and stronger with each book. She is becoming one smart, witty, kickass heroine.
I am so looking forward to the next book in this amazing series. Such phenomenal writing and storytelling. Highly recommend!
I really loved this book. The series gets better with each book. Allie is trying to get back to the land of the fae. She needs to stop her sister from leading the fae into the mortal world and bring war to them. She may not be able to do it, as no-one will listen to her. She had to hope she could od it on her own.
Sarah Wilson knows how to keep her readers in suspense! Not normally a huge fan of pretty far books, I love how Ms. Wilson revealed the angelic creatures true forms. I highly recommend this book for all fantasy readers!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
And honestly, I love this author.
What a crazy life the fae live. To bargain for one’s life and limb is the way it is in that world! A young girl, Allie was a last Hunter for her village but things have a way of changing. A place was always guarded to keep fae from getting into the village and stealing the children, but at times fae came through the portal. Allie went into the fae world to bring her sister and the children back home. While there a fae, Scouvrel, tricked her into marrying him. Adventures abound in this book and series. Good storytelling and good read.
Im writing this review based on the requested ARC copy from the author.
Sarah Wilson’s Fae are so different from every other fae I’ve read to date, which adds to the excitement of this series.
This book follows on nicely from book 2, giving Allie Hunter an even broader story arc while continuing the fast paced action of the story as a whole.
Allie and her fae enemy Scovrial butt heads again as well as help each other, a complicated relationship if there was a ever any! Allies sister is still hell bent on taking over the mortal world and Allie feels like she’s the only one in a position to stop this from happening after her home town is overtaken by militia who aren’t that interested in the village and her people.
A total page turner! Can’t wait for the next book to see where the story takes us next!

I cannot get enough of this series. I love Allie and Scouvrel so very, very much. There is so much I want to dig into on this, and I can’t because I got it as an Advanced Reader Copy, and I don’t want to spoil it.
The awesome: it’s very quotable. There are a lot of great things to highlight in this book that would make it worthy of some deeper discussion.
And as always Allie’s wit is absolutely delightful to me. She makes laugh, probably because she thinks very similarly to me!
We learn more about Scouvrel… some very interesting things, although it’s still all really only hinted at. I need more of him. Oh my goodness, I need so much more of him. He’s like Cardan, but with a proper sense of humor. Allie is not like Jude, she’s way better.
The less awesome: it feels a little slower than the last book. That’s not say there isn’t plenty going on. Allie has a lot to navigate as she tries to process what she’s been through and how her town has changed, and what her role is there now. She’s confronted with more and more problems, and she comes to realize that she really has no idea what she’s doing and she keeps focusing on the wrong things. I think it’s probably just a me thing though. There were descriptions of things and places that I just didn’t care about because I wanted to get to the next piece of action, if that makes sense. Also, it ends on a cliffhanger.
Now, I’m not opposed to cliffhangers at all! Don’t get me wrong. What’s bad about this one is that I thought this was going to be the last book, and I was so into the text that I didn’t notice that I was 98% through it when I turned the page to 99% and it said “If you want more of Allie Hunters story, look for the next book.” I literally shouted “NOOOO!” So the problem isn’t the cliffhanger, it’s that I wasn’t prepared to wait for a next book, which then made me laugh really hard, because I’m a little twisted like that and kinda relish the torture of the wait.
If you love The Cruel Prince by Holley Black, I recommend this. If you liked the idea of The Cruel Prince, but couldn’t get into it because, let be honest, it’s a little dry and cerebral, I think you should give this a try.
This has the best parts of the Fae world, verbal sparring, cruelty, wit, and a fight for redemption. Allie is a spitfire who keeps going even when she wants to give up. I would hug her if she were real. She could definitely use a hug after this book. Scouvrel is mysterious, and it’s hard to say exactly what his intentions really are, but he’s funny and I like watching him squirm when Allie frustrates him… which is often.
This is my favorite Fae-centric series, it is the bar I will be holding all others to. To put that in perspective, The Cruel Prince was my previous standard to beat. Thank you Sarah K. L. Wilson for sharing this world and these characters with us. I love them all so much.
I can’t wait until this has been out for a couple weeks so I can dig into all the underlying themes and messages in it, because there are some really good ones that I’m desperate to discuss, but can’t without spoilers.
