Description

There are ten golden rules if you want to survive an encounter with a fae:Don’t ask their name.If they ask you what your name is, lie.Avoid looking directly into their eyes.Don’t invite them to your book club. Don’t instigate a snowball fight.Never let them burn their mouth on coffee. Don’t ask them where they’re from.Don’t tell them where you live.Never mention their queen.Don’t try to kill them with an ordinary human gun.If you fail to do any of these things, enslave them immediately. On a cozy fall morning, Kate Kole is nestled in a coffee shop in the city of Toronto reading her favourite novel when she accidentally kills a guy who's being rude to the coffee shop's cashier. Unfortunately for Kate, the person she killed was a fae assassin of the North Corner of Ever, visiting the human realm in secret. From there, four deadly fae assassins come to the human realm to hunt her down for breaking a fairy law and killing one of their own. Leading them is Prince Cressica Alabastian, the most feared and deadly fae assassin of the North and heir to the North Corner of Ever. After the assassins arrive in the human realm, things go terribly wrong. To Prince Cressica's horror, his assassins unwittingly get roped into running a cozy café on Kate Kole's behalf. To blend in, the fae assassins are forced to learn how to do basic human activities like cleaning up after themselves, driving without road rage, reading popular fantasy books at book club without getting into alpha male fights over what they’re reading, and in general, be nice, all to blend into regular human society. With a temper like no other, and deadly power that's unmatched, Prince Cressica seeks to get revenge on Kate Kole. But as he aims to strike where it will hurt her the most, the Prince finds himself enchanted by his human target in more ways than one. And when the darkness of the Ever Corners comes knocking at the human realm's door, he needs to make a choice that could cost him everything. WELCOME TO FAE CAFÉ is like Holly Black’s tricky FOLK OF THE AIR schemes meeting your grandmother’s freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. With a sweet, comical romance and relatable slice-of-life moments colliding with manipulative fairy games and deathmatches, this book puts a spin on the typical fae stories readers know and love and aims to be the coziest rom-com fae book of all time. This book may leave you with answers to questions you never knew you wanted to ask, such as, "How many fae assassins does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" With coziness for days, WELCOME TO FAE CAFÉ is a new spin on some of the most popular fae fantasy tropes, in a setting where fae most definitely don't belong. If you like fantasy and you like rom coms, this may just be your cup of tea. (Or coffee.) Read more

  • perfect balance.
Format: Kindle
This book was just what I needed heading into fall. The cozy atmosphere really came through. It was a wonderful balance of laugh out loud and edge of your seat moments. I enjoyed the pacing and set up for the romance. It all came together nicely keeping me invested while not becoming overly stressful. I didn’t want to put it down. I’m looking forward to picking up the second book next. ... show more

  • unique, clean fun, albeit seemingly unfinished
Format: Kindle
Things I liked: The way Cress befriended Kate's grandmother, helped her, and watched over her. Incredibly endearing. The antics of the "assassins" in the cafe and learning to use technology. This is perhaps the most delightful depiction of interworld travel I've read about to date. The chemistry between the two main characters though Kate's feelings were not opened up much to the reader like Cress's were. Things I did not understand/or felt could have been opened up more: Did Kate just drop out of college? She came off as a horrible student. Why was she so bad with word usage? She was also sort of a lousy friend, skipping classes but then barely putting in work at the Cafe when a loan shark was literally breathing down their necks, and just enslaved the fae to make it happen instead. But to her friend who was very uncomfortable with the situation she essentially said "tough" and did it anyway. What was her source of income during all this to where she could afford a 600$ coat but not a payment to the loan shark? How did Cress get grandma back home from the lake? What happened to her charming farmhouse? The funeral and grieving were but a blip on the radar, with Kate appearing to get over the loss in just 1 day. (I also was invested in the leaf war against the neighbors, but never learned what happened there). I would have liked Cress to ask Kate exactly what had happened to his warrior she accidentally killed, but that was swept under the rug. In fact, they really only have one or 2 meaningful conversations in the entire book. Also, the fairy realm was sadly underdeveloped! :( the last bit where he was leaving was the richest bit and it was too short. Would have loved to read more about there instead of Kate or Lily dragging the coffee maker over again. Overall, I really did enjoy it, and my critiques mainly stem from being greedy and wanting more than I was given. ... show more

Second read through! So fun, love this story to bits! Cress and his assassins are so funny (but totally deadly serious). Kate is adorable and sweet, love her! Fun, cozy, romance, love, seriousness, this has it all! Fun story! Definitely recommend!

  • Clean Romance, Fae Enchantments.
Format: Kindle
Kate has her nose in a book when the unexpected happens. A fae walked in to her favorit coffee shop. But she dosnt know he is a fae and she cant help but stand up to his rude behavior. What happens next? Well... Welcome to Fea Cafe is a fun mix of fantasy romance, comedy, and cozy vibes. If you are looking for a clean fantasy romance with a twist of Fae a sprinkle of fall leaves and a dash of christmas sugar, this will fit the bill. There are many moments in this book I enjoyed but it never dilly grabed me like the authors other books. It was fun, but lacked that true magic spark for me. I read is slowly and enjoyed it when I was reading but often put it down and read other things inbetween. So maybe just not quite my favorite cut of tea, but still good. I disagree with a few readers who think Kate isn't as well writen as Cress the main male lead. I felt it was quite the opposite. Kate felt real.to me and Cress was a harder sell. I enjoyed many of the side characters though and am looking forward to book two and learning more about one of them. ... show more

  • Grew on me
Format: Paperback
It was a slow start and tough in the beginning. I would say that by the time I go to around page 100 things really clicked and I didn’t want to put it down. The character development of the prince was great and even had me tearing up towards the end. I will say all the male characters were more enthralling to me than the females. Kate was really odd in the beginning and hard to really pin point her personality. She definitely grew on me towards the end and the banter between her and the prince was adorable. I would have loved to read more details for Kate and the prince in the end but hoping the second book will continue to include us in their journey. Looking forward to reading the second book. ... show more

  • fantastic
Format: Kindle
Love the stories I can get so emotionally attached to that I cry and laugh with the characters. Beautiful! And author, it takes someone who has been through loss to describe it so perfectly, as someone who was there when both grandparents and my mother passed away i truly appreciate this book!

I read the cold as frost series and loved it!!! This was the second series I’ve read from this author and she has become my favorite. It’s such a cute, cozy, romcom book. ❤️

  • ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ read! Cozy and light-hearted 🖤
Format: Kindle
This was such a fun, light-hearted, fantasy, to start the year with. It gives Cruel Prince meets cozy romance vibes. It’s not heavy on the world building or hard to follow. There’s zero spice (which I didn’t mind but I did imagine the possibilities 🙃). Everything flows really smoothly. I fell in love with all the characters and their witty banter. The storyline is interesting and sucks you in. I’m excited to read the 2nd book when it releases. ... show more
