From New York Times bestselling author Mary E. Pearson comes a thrilling romantic fantasy full of dangerous fae, dark secrets, and addictive romance

After losing both their parents, Bristol Keats and her sisters struggle to stay afloat in their small, quiet town of Bowskeep. When Bristol begins to receive letters from an “aunt” she’s never heard of who promises she can help, she reluctantly agrees to meet—and discovers that everything she thought she knew about her family is a lie. Even her father might still be alive, not killed but kidnapped by terrifying creatures to a whole other realm—the one he is from.

Desperate to save her father and find the truth, Bristol journeys to a land of gods and fae and monsters. Pulled into a dangerous world of magic and intrigue, she makes a deadly bargain with the fae leader, Tyghan. But what she doesn't know is that he's the one who drove her parents to live a life on the run. And he is just as determined as she is to find her father—dead or alive.

I’m feeling mostly neutral about this listening experience. THE COURTING OF BRISTOL KEATS is set in a world of fae and trolls and magic. But it’s definitely more fantasy-adjacent. The vibe is drama and romance, with characters who happen to be magical, but also human. Sort of? There is very little world building. I liked the characters, and the plot was interesting, though neither really surprised me in any way. It all felt a little too formulaic. Pacing was slow. The entire story wasn't much more than a setup for the romance and whatever will happen in book 2. There are some spicy scenes for those who enjoy them. The writing style is engaging and enjoyable. Brittany Pressley does a fantastic job narrating.
