I didn’t mean to cross over into Faerie. It was an accident. And now… now I’m in trouble.
Have you ever had a really bad day? Like the type where you want to just pull the blanket over your head, go back to sleep, and wake up when it’s all over?
Yeah. Me, too.
It all started with a stupid fight. Honestly, I was probably looking for a reason to storm out of the apartment and get away from … for a reason to storm out of the apartment and get away from my boyfriend’s disappointed sighs for a few minutes. A walk in the nearest park was just what I needed.
What I didn’t need? To impulsively walk through a ring of strange-looking mushrooms only to end up in the mythical, magical world from my mother’s supposedly made-up fairy tales.
Faerie. I’m in Faerie.
As soon as I cross over, I’m lost. The fairy circle is gone, the trees all look the same, and I don’t have any idea where I am, or how I’m going to get home.
I think I can trust the pixie.
Nope.
Maybe the pair of dwarves who seem so kind?
Yeah. Seem is the key word there.
By the time I’m on my way to the auction block at the Faerie market, I can’t help but stew over all of the ways I’ve been tricked. This sucks.
And it only gets worse after that…
**Tricked is a prequel novella (~17,000 words) set directly before the first book in the Imprisoned by the Fae series, Trapped. It’s the story of how Elle ended up in Faerie, and what led her to be thrown into the infamous prison, Siúcra.

This is the prequel to “Imprisoned by the Fae” that is a side story to “Touched by the Fae”.
You don’t have to read that one to enjoy this short. It’s a branch in witch you will find out what happens to Rys after the events in the middle/end of “Touched by the Fae”.
The story is told from Helen point of view, a girl that just so happens to travel to Fairy by entering a mushroom circle just for fun. 🙂 Every little girls dream right?
What she didn’t know is that Fairy is not a fairytale land after all but it’s full of dangers and every creature is a potential foe.
You have to read to find out what happens to her and be prepared to continue the story with book 1 right after!

MUST READ BEFORE STARTING TRAPPED!!!!
A fight with her boyfriend leads to our heroine being trapped in Fairy where everyone is out to take advantage of her. This is not what she signed up for.
This is a prequel story to the urban fantasy series.
The story is well written, easy to read and just a bit twisted. The characters are well developed and vividly portrayed which helps to bring the story to life. I really liked our heroine and feel for all the stuff she is going through. Overall, this was a great background introduction and I look forward to the series.
Highly recommended

This is the how it happened to be before the story starts short story leading up to a new series by Jessica Lynch. Helen is an artistic free spirit with a mother who tells fairy stories. She has a fight with her boyfriend and takes a walk to cool off. She walks through a fairy ring and then things start happening. This really is a good short story. I am very much looking forward to reading the series that arises from this story. I would recommend this short story.

“I almost wish it would bring me to Faerie”
Beware what you wish….
„Tricked” marks the start of a brand-new series (Imprisoned by the Fae) by Jessica Lynch. In this six chapters prequel, we meet the main character of the upcoming series (Helen Andrews) immediately before she ends up in Faerie. Helen and her high-school sweet-heart (Jimmy Fuentes) have been together for what it sometimes feels like a lifetime. After ten years they have mostly good days, but something is off, the spark is fading, thus after a foolish barely there fight, Helen just wants to cool down and goes for a walk in the park… and
… ends up in Faerie getting tricked by her inhabitants into a very unexpected situation, only to take a fateful decision that will put her in Siúcra (the Faerie prison) and the setting of the oncoming series.
A very successful prequel, the perfect bite to incite the appetite, without spoil the tale, offers a good insight in Helen’s character, that very wisely changes her name to Elle as soon as she enters Fairy, after all she has been obsessed with Fairy tales since her childhood, devouring every story her mother would tell her, just her luck that Fairy tales and Faerie are not really exactly the same.
The story is well written, a fast read with a good mixture of action and very well-done character descriptions. A very well-rounded prequel that hits the intended objective at the very center… to incite interest for the new “Imprisoned by the Fae” Series.
