He came to destroy the world.
He came to destroy us.
But he kept me alive when all else died.
It’s the end of us, the humans. Our world is ravaged, burned to the ground, destroyed by the armies of dark fae crawling all over our lands. They seek to end us, weed out the last of our survivors, and tear us to pieces.
We hide as best as we can. But it’s inevitable.
A dark fae army finds us hiding … inevitable.
A dark fae army finds us hiding in a little village. We’re all goners. All of my group dies around me, and I’m about to join them in death—until he spares me.

I really enjoyed this it was dark and gritty and pulled me in instantly, it’s novella length a serial type novel and this is the first part of the story the rest of this is already out though so no waiting.
I don’t read many novellas but this one appealed to me the story unfolding here is incredibly imaginative and detailed and you can taste the despair and desperation that Vale feels toward her hopeless situation she’s just trying to survive a day at a time in the only way she knows how.
This is set against a post-apocalyptic landscape where society has been decimated when the sky’s turned dark it’s an endless night, technology failed and society turned on each other in the confusion and from there fear the people left scattered and are few and then the dark fae came finishing the job originally started by humans burning through what was left with there sacking of the towns and city’s and there total slaughter of the remaining humans. Lighting a blazing path through what remains of the tatters of humanity.
Vale is travelling with some fellow surviving humans mostly for safety there’s no camaraderie trust or loyalty amongst them everyone’s just out for themselves.
They were once more of them but numbers are dropping fast with the realities they face day to day.
They just wander from place to place scavenging and hiding from their fellow humans and also the dark fae.
It’s on one such trip to a town in France that they come wielding their weapons and fire and raising the town to the ground.
This was fast-paced and told completely from Vale’s POV the narrative has dark undertones and there’s nothing warm and fuzzy about these fae invaders.
This ends on a slight cliffhanger which is fine as I can read the next instalment right away I’m incredibly intrigued with where this might go next.
This was well written and very imaginative and I’m definitely going to be reading further.
This has all my favourite genres rolled into one I’m a sucker for anything post-apocalyptic add in the fae element and I’m sold.

Dark Fae is book one of The Dark Fae series and is a good introduction to the series. The writing is good, the characters are interesting and the cliffhanger left me ready for the next book in this series.
Before I begin my review for Dark Fae (The Dark Fae #1) by Quinn Blackbird, I would personally like to thank the author, the publishers and Booksprouts for the opportunity to read this ARC and I have reviewed it honestly.
An intense combination of apocalyptic dystopia and new adult fantasy, Dark Fae is an epic introduction to The Dark Fae novella series. A world devoured by darkness with no electricity, no fire, no sun, humanity is on the brink of extinction as the fight for survival pits one against all. And that’s without mentioning the army of dark fae scouring the Earth for survivors.
Dark Fae features, but is not limited to, the following themes:
Fae
Fae army
Apocalypse
Survival
Endless night
Self harm
My overall rating for Dark Fae is…
5 Stars!
I feel like combining an apocalypse with fae is a dangerous combination but oh it works so deliciously well! Dark Fae built such an epic and suspenseful story you couldn’t possibly pass up the opportunity to read this series. Not to mention, the series is available on KU! The Dark Fae series has been described to contain trigger warnings, villain to hero trope and self harm situations and is therefore not for everyone. If you don’t mind trigger content I can’t recommend the entire works of this author enough.
The story in this box set is different. The end of the world doesn’t come via Zombies, it comes via the Dark Fae. First, comes the dark, then then virus, and then the Dark Fae emerge killing the survivors. This is a post apocalyptic story that is NOT the usual story. The characters were well written. I didn’t care too much for Vale, but she is a cutter and that is not my cup of tea. The Fae are REALLY scary. I will say that I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

This is the BEST apocalyptic themed book I have EVER read! Not to mention that the main character has mental illness and it is accurate the way it is written! I was able to place myself in this book so easily and I just had to stay up all night to read it!

It’s the Fae-pocalypse in this first part of a serialized drama, and I was hooked. I devoured it in all it’s grimness in one sitting. It’s dark fantasy meets post-apocalyptic survival, so if you’re bored of people running from zombies and don’t like your paranormal menfolk to be the sparkly/magical/tragically romantic types, this could be just the thing.
It’s a short introductory episode, but dang does it pack a punch. I adored Vale’s narration, realistic selfishness and all. That each man for himself attitude, even if she knows she should be better (though what use is the moral high ground if you’re dead?)
She also deals with mental health and self-harm issues in a surprisingly down to earth way; nothing graphic, but put bluntly and very emotive. The setting up of the world and the interplay between the oddball survivors simmered with tension.
It ends right when things are getting juicy; it pays to remember this is a serial, not a full story and keep your expectations in check if you’re not into that sort of thing. If you can stand the wait, then this looks to be a tense and creepy fae tale of survival.

This was a really good start to this new series. This is a well written book with well written characters. A book of dark fae and humans trying to survive them. I recommend reading.
