Everyone sees from their own perspective, they say. But I’ve always seen things that aren’t there. As a child I called them fairies.I didn’t know how right I was.My parents tried to cure me by giving me a new lens through which to see the world: a camera.My nan thinks she has the answer with herbal concoctions and effigy’s to ward off evil.The doctor calls it mental illness and tells me to eat … mental illness and tells me to eat right and take my meds.
But none of them work.
The world jumps and shifts and changes, showing me things no one else sees.
I think I’m mad, until the day I photograph a friend’s lavish party – where rules and inhibitions are tossed aside along with clothes. Nothing had prepared me for these sights or for them: the Changelings.
A group of bad boys who glimmer in my messed up vision. I’m irresistibly drawn into their web. Into their musical world of debauched sensuality where I am called to document their band’s tour.
Nan’s warnings of the fair folk don’t even cross my mind. Swept up in their fairy ring my crazy vision finally makes sense, and I’m not sure I ever want to leave. Or should I want to leave?

Unique and very intriguing Faerie romance. This is incredibly written with great characterization, world building, and storytelling. This is a fast pace read that I got lost in and finished in a sitting. I really enjoyed this first book in this new series and am very excited for the next book. I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
Another amazing read from Sam Hall. When you think her books couldn’t get any better, she drops a new series and blows your mind!
This book is so good you will want to put it in you reread pile. It is written so well you feel like you are living the story right along with the MC. A very vivid and brilliant book with lots of steam
This is an amazing book one of this new series. I really enjoyed these characters a lot and just couldn’t put down at all. Everything about this storyline kept me hooked on it. Cant wait for more.
I am love with this new series, I can’t wait for the next book. I love the main female character and her best friend. It’s a fresh new take on fae. Can’t wait to see where Sam leads the next book too!
This book was unlike anything I have read before. The world and atmosphere created by the author made me wonder where this was going and I had no idea what to expect, which I really enjoy, as I’m not often blown away by a world I want to revel in. This book intrigued me, I loved the characters and the setup, as well as the difficulties they are facing. I can’t wait to see where this is going!
Away with the Faeries – Sam Hall
*** 5 Spectacular Stars ***
A Deliciously addictive paranormal read.
This is a fantastic read, Sam Hall has penned a superb pnr novel here, one that keeps you intensely captivated and wanting so much more.
I could feel Kira’s world evolving in perfectly written detail throughout this book, I was completely transported there with her. There are many unexpected surprises that arise – absolutely nothing can be predicted.
I bloody loved this book, an absolutely superb start to this new series, seriously can’t wait for the next one and hoping the heat levels up too.
Wow! I’m in awe of Away with the Faeries! Sam Hall has an amazing start to a new series. This book is not like the typical faerie or paranormal stories I’ve read. It is definitely not what I was expecting and it is such a pleasant surprise. So whatever preconceptions you may have, leave them behind before you fall down the faerie rabbit hole.
Kira is a somewhat unassuming young woman. She lives a regimented life all if hopes of staving off the pain and hallucinations brought about by her attacks. The ones that have her seeing faeries. Yes, faeries. Magical creatures or charming bedtime stories to spark a child’s imagination. That’s all they are…stories, make believe. But what if they’re not. What if they’re real, living in a world between shadows and light, hiding in plain sight.
She’s come to rely on her medication, her best friend Jen, and her camera. Until one day, at Jen’s urging, Kira accepts a job to photograph a party at Jen’s father’s estate. Not just any party. A party for the rich and famous engaged in all sorts of bacchanalian delights. Something big is coming for her. She’s been warned but those warnings are relegated to the back of her mind. Tossed aside until the medication can erase them. But Kira will come to learn that she should have heeded those warnings.
So much happens in this book in a relatively short period of time. It is jam-packed with such a rich, well-developed story from the first to the last page. Sam Hall is an incredible writer. And this story was almost poetic. The characters are crafted so well. The story itself is so sensual and steamy all the way through. Get ready to meet “the creeping people, the shifters in the grass. Those of stone and leaf and wood.” If this was the beginning of Kira’s journey, I am excited for the rest of the ride. I want to go to the deep places and dance with the hidden ones!
What a great start to a new series and I fell in love with this book. The main character Kira is meek. She has some issue that hinders her ability to function in life. Its weird because I felt like at one point she was letting it define who she is. Like she was allowing it to control her. In other points she embraced the fact that she is who she is. She also has a thing for the band The Changelings. Also Kira best friend is helping her to stay focus and go with the flow. She what happens when Kira is picked to photograph a party that her friends dad is hosting? Crazy, Hot stuff is what!! I seriously cannot wait to see what will happen next.
Let me tell you the book was soooo good. I can’t even put into adequate words how the author took me on the journey with the main character. All of her emotions were laid bare and with each new experience I was pulled further along with the story. It is reverse harem. The first book definitely is a slow burn but in the best way possible. Normally, I don’t like those books. This one held my attention from start to finish. My poor husband didn’t even bother trying to catch my attention until it was over.
The MC is going through life with some serious difficulty, often disconnecting from the things happening around her due to her perceived illness. Each chapter weaves the story in such a seamless way that you can’t help but want her to succeed. You can not help but be caught up in the story, the characters, and the intrigue. Even her failures bring her closer to who she is supposed to be. If you want to go on a journey then this one is for you. Yes it is paranormal. Yes there are hints of MM. The MC is an adult, albeit a sheltered one (initially). No academy. No insta-love. It is a complex world thru the eyes of a seemingly simple girl who shines without realizing it.
Oh and if you are looking for something steamy… check out Sam Hall’s Pack Heat books. They introduced me to this author and it was definitely fast burn high heat.
Of note: This is my first EVER review on Bookbub. That should tell you how strongly I feel about this book
This book was such a good read. I was sucked in from the beginning trying to find out what was going on who could be trusted. This book has so many possibilities I love it.
Kira lives in a world through he camera when given the opportunity of any photographers dream she takes it especially when it features her favorite band. As hard as Kira tries to fight it she can’t get away from the new world she has entered into. She has plenty of guys who want her but for what purpose. What is any girl suppose to do try to leave with everything.
There are plenty of steamy scenes in this book but also a good mystery. I really enjoyed all the characters in this book. Kira starts off with no faith in herself due to her illness throughout the book we get to see her get stronger and stronger even though she is put into situations where it is uncomfortable and she is unsure how to navigate. I think it helps her to gain more strength in the end.
Can’t wait to see what happens as Kira grows more in the coming books
Wow. This book started fast and pulled you in even quicker. It was a sit down and read start to finish book. If you have any preconceived notions on fairies or what this book is about, ditch them as this will blow away your expectations. Only disappointing part is that the next book doesn’t magically drop down from the stars, and now I have to wait. And I will wait…rather impatiently, lol
This book was fabulous from the start. I related to Kira immediately. She is not into the party scene like Jen but gives in to the opportunity to advance her photography career. This party leads her to basically a new life that she takes hold of. I had hope for Mark and Kira but not so sure that will happen but still holding out hope. It was so easy to fall in love with the characters. This is such an amazing story. All the information that was hidden from Kira. I did not see her becoming a Fae but love it. The reactions from Kira’s grandmother are intriguing but I think i understand them know. I love the connection Kira and Marlow developed and cant wait to see what happens between her, Johnno, and Aen. Aen he is a very intriguing character and cant wait to learn more about him. I think this may be my current favorite Sam Hall book. Cant wait for book 2! I recommend this book to everyone!
I thought this book had an interesting take on fairies…the political side and the characteristics of the fae were shown in a way that I found interesting and insightful. I’m glad that the author mentioned that this book would be a slower burn than the last book she wrote, since I’ve just finished reading her Pack Heat series and was still melting from the heat in those books.
I look forward to reading book two of this series and to watch the pages melt down in front of me…yummylicious scenes that make me swoon. 🙂
Wow, I am absolutely speachless!!!
This is a very unique spin on fairies and I absolutely loved it. Fair warning, this book is intense, just when you think you have characters worked out another curve ball comes your way. The character development is exquisite. This is the start of the next hit series.
I can’t wait for the next book.
That my friends was a book…. Hot damn… I think I was left in more of a mess than our MC by the end of it. Damn… I have a post book high right now lol. This story started off with me slightly confused but WHOLLY invested. It was a trip to remember and one I can’t wait to continue. By the end of the book, I was sated by the harem of choice… ahem, yes please… and left wanting more with a cliffhanger of an epilogue! Original and totally worth the read trust me!
Away with the Faeries by Sam Hall was a hot, fast-paced read with an intriguing spin on the fairie world. Kira, the FMC starts off with a quiet persona that fits her original situation, but evolves into a strong character I can’t wait to read more about. The men all have very different personalities (not perfect, perfection is way overrated), but interesting and sexy. I enjoyed what I read about them in book one and am eager to learn more. I’m not sure who will make the final cut into Kira’s harem, but I’m happy to go along for the ride and find out.
Sam Hall has created a fantastic fae driven story that will have you wondering what will happen next. There’s unpredictable twists and turns and you’ll love how in-depth the plot gets. The characters are created and described with beautiful detail and in true Sam Hall fashion, so intriguing. I loved the development of Kira and how she changes as her circumstances change. There’s an addictive quality to the writing that draws you in and takes you to a completely different place. It’s a beautiful and perfectly detailed book that will give you all the feels and depavity you’ll long for. And that ending…. I need to know more. If you want a far book with a difference, this is the book for you!
I knew it! I freaking knew Sam Hall would draw me in to a new series that would have me immediately wanting more. This book is so beyond the scope of anything I’ve ever read that is faerie. There is so much attention to detail in every little thing, you can easily escape into this world for hours and not even realize it. I cannot wait to see where Sam is going to take this story. Luckily, Sam releases books extremely fast!
What a book! It has had me riding a wave the entire book! A new perspective and damn such a rollercoaster! An amazing, hot, and sexy book
