Trailer Park Fae

By: Lilith Saintcrow

Narrated by: Joe Knezevich

New York Times bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow returns to dark fantasy with a new series where the faery world inhabits diners, dive bars and trailer parks.
Jeremiah Gallow is just another construction worker, and that's the way he likes it. He's left his past behind, but some things cannot be erased. Like the tattoos on his arms that transform into a weapon, or that he was once closer to the Queen of Summer than any half-human should be.

Now the half-sidhe all in Summer once feared is dragged back into the world of enchantment, danger, and fickle fae -- by a woman who looks uncannily like his dead wife. Her name is Robin, and her secrets are more than enough to get them both killed. A plague has come, the fullborn-fae are dying, and the dark answer to Summer's Court is breaking loose.

Critic reviews

"Trailer Park Fae is what you'd get if you mixed a Bourne film, a political thriller, and a weepy Lifetime movie about abusive, drunken trailer park fathers together, and shook vigorously."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog on Trailer Park Fae

"Lilith Saintcrow spins an incredibly imaginative and delicious tale with vivid language and a story you will not be able to put down. I loved every minute!"—Darynda Jones on Trailer Park Fae

"A true faery story, creepy and heroic by turns. Love and hope and a touch of Midsummer Night's Dream. I could not put it down."—Patricia Briggs on Trailer Park Fae

"Saintcrow deftly mixes high-minded fantasy magic with rough, real-world rust using prose that veers between the beautiful and the bloodcurdling. Honestly, I wish I'd written it."—Chuck Wendig on Trailer Park Fae

"Unique, twisted, lovely, and raw. Just fabulous."—Faith Hunter on Trailer Park Fae

"Saintcrow's urban fantasy series launch is expertly crafted with heartbreak and mistrust, far darker and lovelier than the title suggests... Saintcrow's artful, poignant descriptions remain with the reader long after the tale's end, as does the persistent sense of dark, unsettling unease."—Publishers Weekly on Trailer Park Fae

"A strong start to a dark urban fantasy series."—Library Journal on Trailer Park Fae

horrible

this book was suggested to me to buy as a reading book. glad I didnt the story sucks definitely thought it would be better

Great story and voice!

I really enjoyed the smooth voice. The story itself was fascinating and interesting. I think it could use more comedic moments.

I couldn't continue

Okay, the genre, love it. The author's world, love it. But I kept yelling at the inside of my car "Oh come on, Daisy's dead! Move on!" Not to be insensitive to tragedy, but Gallow's mortals wife being dead is a defining characteristic, and it got old. Plus Summer being THAT capricious after centuries... ?

Hard to follow

Maybe it's because I don't read this type of book often, but it felt like there was too much going on- too many creatures/powers/names, too little explanation. It made things hard to follow.

The voicer was pleasant to listen to but it was also hard for me to differentiate between when the characters were thinking silently vs when they were speaking.

starts slow, no traction

I found a few positive reviews abs had heard a recommendation elsewhere, so I was willing to give it a shot, but this one fell flat. I love urban fantasy, but most of the grit and wonder that contrast each other to make the genre so engaging were buried or too understated here. I had so much trouble engaging the story, I had to keep rewinding because I'd realize three chapters had gone by and I had been ignoring the story the whole time.
