Dancing With Darkness: A Fae Fantasy Romance (The Wild Hunt Book 1) Kindle Edition

by H J Reese (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 496 ratings
She's a Summer fae with a secret. He's a Hunter in the Wild Hunt desperately trying to return to the Underworld. Once worlds apart—now leashed together.

Stay out of the problems of the island

Sweet Summerfae, Valentina, did not listen when she gave up the enemy’s secrets to save a loved one from an ambush in a growing war.

The War of Many is brewing

And those secrets take her to the frontlines, captive to the worst court of all—the firefae to the east.

Stay away from the Wild Hunt

But it’s either escape with the gorgeous deadly Hunter whose shadows call to the darkness in her or back to the endless burning fire of Autumn Court.

Once worlds apart—now leashed together

And they could never be more at odds. Valentina’s hate for Kaderyn’s arrogance is enough to draw the attention of absent gods. The two are forced on a quest for survival across an island of deceiving fae, dangerous monsters, and meddling, rhyming pixies that won't shut up. But that hate soon transforms into a desire neither expect as she lights a path through his darkness, and his shadows start leading her home.

The darkness of the Hunt is going to find out exactly what the light of Summer is made of

Dancing With Darkness is a deliciously slow-burn fantasy romance. Book two, Shadows of Solace, carries the payload of a ‘one love, all-consuming romance’ with heat and court intrigue ramped up. The world of Eadha is full of unique fantasy creatures, magical artifacts, and tavern-type songs.

Content warnings include: violence, swearing, hunting/animal related triggers, and sexual content not meant for those under 18.

    I made the mistake of starting this book before bed. Needless to say I read 65% of the book in the first sitting and only got 2 hours of sleep. The story starts pretty slow but once it picked up it really didn't stop. Not spicy, but that night change in the next book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great debut
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2023
    From the beginning, this book pulled me into the world of Eadha and the lives of Valentina and Kaderyn. It was truly difficult to put down, the mysteries and quick pace keep the pages turning.

    We first met Valentina as a faeling in the midst of a crisis. We gain a peak at her strange power before tragedy strikes. Valentina is a summerfae, born and raised in summer court, she has the telltale water magic associated with those of summer, but she also has a unique magic, kept hidden from others.
    When this magic is discovered by the cruel General Mohr of Autumn Court, he takes Val from Summer with the intention of using her as a weapon against a mutual enemy, Winter.

    Enter Kaderyn, the Lord of Shadows and fallen leader of the Wild Hunt. Inexplicably drawn to the terrified fae at the feet of General Mohr. Kade seizes the opportunity to free her and makes a deal the General cannot refuse.
    Kade and Val travel Eadha together, Val on a mission to return to Summer and check on the welfare of her friends left behind, and Kade desperate to regain the shadows stolen from him centuries ago.
    Their adventure is wrought with danger, mystery, and a growing attraction they both are desperate to ignore.

    Dancing with Darkness is NOT 🚫 a dark romance.
    It IS ✅ a slow burn with tropes such as: grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, found family, quests, chosen one, and one bed/one horse!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful read, perfect for beginners!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023
    Dancing with Darkness was a fast paced read that had me hooked immediately. If you’re new to the fantasy genre this would be a wonderful place to start. The storyline is easy to follow and centers around a small group of characters. This found family is rough around the edges but the love they have for each other is clear. This book also includes multiple POV’s which I enjoy because you get to learn and understand the characters on a much deeper level. If you like grumpy/sunshine relationships and forced proximity this book provides all of that and more. Valentina and Kade make a lovely duo, as they navigate Kade’s dark past and Valentina’s lightness. I am looking forward to reading the sequel, and I appreciate that I don’t have to wait long before jumping back in! The content warnings suggest adult readers however I found this book mild enough for older teen readers. There isn’t anything too graphic or explicit, as it’s a slow burn romance. My guess is that the second book may heat up a bit and the content warnings are for the series in general being more appropriate for adult readers. I look forward to finishing this story!

    Full of intrigue, Fae, Faeless, the Wild Hunt and not forgetting Faeshifters. A story of finding love and fighting for what you believe in. The main characters are first class but i especially love, Teal the pixie her rhyming? it’s made me smile more than i have in a long while 😁

    Well written and an interesting premise.

    It was a little slow - especially at the start.

    There were also moments that didn’t seem to make sense. I didn’t really understand why Kade and Val didn’t remove the link when they left the cave… it didn’t seem to make sense. She thought he would do it, but he didn’t. And then he thought about how he could do it, but wouldn’t tell Val. But she’d already thought he was going to in the cave… so she knew it was a possibility. So why did they then continue to stay tethered. Didn’t make much sense to me 🤷‍♀️

    But I am keen to find out what happens next!
