Summary

My captor, my enemy, and my fated mate.

I’m the best bounty hunter in the business. I find lost artifacts that people would kill to possess. I’m also broke. When a notorious leprechaun offers me a job I can’t refuse, I realize too late I’m not hunting an object.

The contract was simple; steal the prince, escape unseen.

Spoiler alert: I failed. Horribly.

The moment I step into the fae kingdom beyond the veil, I feel it—someone watching me. Waiting for me.

King Vareck.

He’s nothing like I imagined—fierce, unyielding, and as cursed as the frozen lands of Faerie. An ice-cold ruler whose very presence bends the room to his will. He shouldn’t care about a thief like me, but we have one thing in common.

Vareck is more than just a king—he’s the man who has haunted my dreams for years.

And apparently, I’ve been in his too.

The difference?

He’s been searching the nine realms for me, and I never thought he was real.

Now that he’s found me, he has no intention of letting me go.

*Beneath the Cursed Veil is sarcastically funny, fantasy romance novel with steam. This is book one in the Faeted Seasons: Winter duet.*

Loved this audiobook. The narration is fantastic, the story is fun and sizzling. I loved the romance of fated mates, the background plot and the side characters. Corvo is hilarious. If you love a Romantasy with good banter and plot. This one is perfect.

Fun, fast paced story

Omgosh Corvo 🐈‍⬛ is everything! If you have a cat or like sassy animal companions, this is all you need to read 😂
I could tell you the premise of the book, but the blurb will tell you all that, I have other things to talk about 😂😂 I will say it's fae and other magical beings.
So Meera is our FMC, and was she refreshing as hell! I'm exhausted by all the hard assassin type woman right now. Meera is powerful, but she thinks little of it. She's smart, resourceful, and can take care of herself. She is also extremely relatable, living her life wanting an antiques shop and trying to keep her head above water. This leads to some questionable choices, but I'm not complaining as it leads her to Vareck!
Now, Vareck is the fae King who is part of a prophecy to break the curse on his realm (one no one understands). He doesn't want it, isn't happy, and is seeking the woman of his dreams (literally from the sexy time in his dreams). Vareck is very powerful. We only see the tip of this in this book, but you are aware it's right there! He's also a golden retriever with Meera but with huge touch her a 💀 vibes for everyone else.
As the first book in a new series, it was very much an introduction to the world, main and side characters (I see some strong found family ahead). I can't wait to get to know some of the other characters on a deeper level, more spice (of course as this couple is hot), and get deeper into the story. The cliffhanger is perfection and involves two of my fave side characters. No names as we don't do spoilers here! Bring on book two!!!!

Amazing fun read!!!
