This is a Review of Fairy Compacts: The Trilogy
AUTHOR: Katey Hawthorne
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 172 Pages
BLURB:
Aeron stepped through the tear in the world fabric to meet his destiny at last. Instead, he found a shy young forest-priest with halting speech and a ridiculous smile—who claimed to know absolutely nothing about why his voice had been stuck in Aeron’s head for decades. Not to mention why they both have the strange feeling they’ve been bound, somehow, for a very long time.
Tammas tries his hardest to unravel this riddle—and not to be too pleased by Aeron’s presence. That voice in his head was his only friend for long years, and Aeron’s magic both complements and augments his own in the most beautiful ways. But just as their affection for each other is deepening, they discover the origin of the bond is darker than either of them imagined.
In this omnibus edition of all three Fairy Compacts novellas, follow the adventures of the earnest, mendicant mortal Tam and the snarky, winged fairy Aeron. Together, they navigate their growing affection and the sins of their parents in The Dangers of Fairy Compacts; investigate fae court intrigue and the unsettling practice of thralldom in Life as a Fairy Thrall; and face their own greatest fears and mortal prejudices to fight for their home in Fairy Bound.
Life as a Fairy Thrall and Fairy Bound contain beautiful illustrations by Ruxandra Lache. This book contains explicit m/m scenes and is not suitable for those under 18.

TITLE: The Dangers of Fairy Compacts
REVIEW:
Aeron has heard a voice in his head since he was young boy. Everyone believes he might be mad like his mother, but it isn’t discussed. Aeron knows about the mortal realm, as do all in the realm of Faerie. His father once made a famous trip to the mortal realm, which is still talked about today.
Aeron is a twin. His sister, Awela has always been the favored child with their father Emyr. Aeron, on the other hand, has never known anything but disdain and indifference from his father, and neither he, nor his sister, knows why.
One day a tear in the world fabric opens in front of Aeron and Aeron passes through into the mortal realm. The voice that has been in his head all these years is calling from the other side. But what happens when Aeron gets there, and the human who called him, Tammas, admits that he was actually trying to find Aeronberries, not Aeron? Confusion on both parts.
Why have they been able to hear each other, and why is Aeron here?
TITLE: Life as a Fairy Thrall
REVIEW:
In this next installment of the trilogy, we are again with Aeron and Tammas, and it four months after the events in the first installment. Aeron and Tam have settled down to a life of bliss. Lots of sex, and a deep down love for each other. But how much is the result of the bonding between them caused by Aeron’s father’s and Tam’s mother’s evil bargain?
Their relationship is tested when the bond disappears as a result of Aeron’s father finally releasing the bond in Faerie. Shortly thereafter that same day, while they are still reeling from the change, Tam’s friend Kamala comes to them with a former schoolmate of Tam’s. Someone who at one point appears to have had an interest in Tam, and might still. Aeron is less than pleased with the looks that the friend, Firez, is leveling at Tam!
It turns out that Firez’ sister, Suchi has been stolen by someone in Faerie. While willing mortals are allowed to go to Faerie and become thralls, it is forbidden for someone in Faerie to take a mortal against their consent.
What follows is a rescue mission to Faerie, with Aeron and his twin and their two “thralls”, Tam and Firez. When things go drastically wrong, will Tam’s human magic be strong enough to save them?
TITLE: Fairy Bound
REVIEW:
In the final installment of the trilogy, Tam and Aeron are living comfortably in Tam’s house in the mortal realm, but do have the ability to go back and forth to Faerie. The main one going back and forth though is Aeron’s sister Awela, who is spending more time in the mortal realm researching the stories of individuals “stolen” by the Faerie realm. She foresees a Faerie realm free of oppression and thralls.
Tam is now a teacher at the monastery where he went to school as a child, thanks to Firez’ compact with Aeron when they agreed to rescue Firez’ sister Suchi in the second installment. Suchi has never recovered from her time in Faerie and isn’t quite right in the head. Unfortunately, she has told stories…mixed up stories…blaming Aeron and Awela for her capture and time in Faerie. She has also told everyone in the village that the fairy Aeron is Tam’s lover and living with him on the edge of the woods.
What will happen when the mob descends on the two, as well as their friends Firez, Awela and Kamala? Magic will be done. Lives will be saved. But whose?
OVERALL REVIEW:
I really enjoyed my day today, living in the world of this story. The three short novellas which make up this book interflow, and bring us to know both Tam and Aeron, as well as the supporting characters. I highly recommend this book. It has no shortage of sex. So what if one of the guys has fairy wings! If you’ve ever dreamed of fairies…give this book a shot!
