Review of a Fairy Hunter’s Guide to the Recently Undead by Cynthia Prith

I received a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

TW’s: death, violence, toxic marriage/borderline abusive, sexual content.

My rating: 3.25

So this is going to be brief and rushed a bit-I’m in grad school, and the semester sucks, so I’m gonna try my best to pull some stuff out from memory but it’s going to suck. Sorry.

Okay. Here’s the thing. I think if I was in the right mood-I would’ve LOVED this book. But I unfortunately read this while I was in grad school. Honestly. It never gripped me, never. And that’s not to say I think it never would’ve, but it just didn’t feel fast paced and honestly the pace reminded me of the books I was reading for my classes.

It just wasn’t super memorable. The main character was okay, and I did like the plot of her husband and his weird lover-friend-assistant guy (what even WAS he?) and I liked the romance between her and her knight. I also think the world-building did a fairly good job.

For me, for when I read it, it was just underwhelming, very much so. The plot dragged, the pay off wasn’t that great, and I just think there could have been more to it.
