Fairytale Lost Queen City Series Book 1 edition by Lori Hendricks Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
For those people that are looking for a real life story this is one for you. No unrealistic storyline here. None of the feelings that this doesn't/couldn't happen. I wasn't quite sure what I was feeling as I was reading. And the title tells you a little about what you should expect. I was given this story for an honest review and this is mine.
This novel is a very dramatic love story. It has love, hate, tears, happiness, disappointment, heartbreak and joy, to name but a few. Emmy and Lukas know they are soul mates but are they meant to be together? Life does not always go to plan. Read their story and you won't be able to put it down. I enjoyed this book so much and the author Lori Hendricks is a brilliant new talent.
Emmy and Lukas already have a history that didn't end well. When they see each other out of the blue again years later, things start rolling again. I really felt like I wanted to hit Lukas upside the head on several occasions. He just didn't seem to get it. Both characters were well developed along with the secondary characters. The build up in their relationship was off kilter to me but I think their history had something to do it with it. Scenery description was pretty non-existent, however, it didn't seem to affect the story at all. This is told is dual POV which always add more depth to the story IMO. I was interested to see how the author incorporated the issue of depression into the story but would have liked to have more in-depth information on that issue built into the story. The story as a whole seemed a little disjointed to me but was still enjoyable.
This book can be read as a stand alone but does not have an HEA.
A second chance at your fairytale ending is rare but Emmalyn and Lukas get that chance in a very roundabout way.
Emmalyn likes structure and order in her life after being let down countless times by her father. All she wants is for people to keep their promises and this is what separated her and Lukas in the first place. Lukas likes to go with the flow and doesn't recognise the importance of being where he says he'll be. With neither of them changing, how will they overcome this?
This is not your traditional fairytale with a fiancee, exes, family and friends all getting in the way. I will say that while I enjoyed the unconventional nature of the story, I struggled with feeling empathy for Emmalyn and Lukas. I wanted to be able to get more inside their heads to understand them both more but this wasn't possible for Emmalyn because of her friends over-protectiveness. For Lukas it was because of a lack of empathy he demonstrates towards those around him.

I picked this book up on a whim not really knowing what exactly to expect. This was my first book from this author and since September I told myself that I would read more New Adult and Adult romance since I'm a huge YA nut. I love romance especially romance featuring Black heroines. It's easy to put myself in the story and I'm a little ashamed to admit when a romance doesn't feature a WoC, I just quickly lose interest.
It's not because I can't relate to a story not featuring one, it's just with so few shows and movies showing Black women in love and accurately portrayed as human beings who bleed and cry and are vulnerable that my number one choice when it comes to heroines is Black women. And that doesn't always mean African American women, because I'm not one who identifies as that myself(I identify as Afro-Latina) but I just love reading Black women as leads.
Fairytale Lost follows two protagonists, Emmalyn and Lukas, two people who'd been in love but lost their way and moved on. Things go south when they reunite after years apart from each other and they find themselves in a sticky situation that forces them to decide what's most important in their lives.
I wouldn't say this is a traditional romance. It almost kinda feels like women's fiction almost. The story isn't a typical boy meets girl story where they don't know each other, it centers on a couple who was madly in love at one point but decided to end things because they couldn't agree how to love each other. Emmy was a planner, someone who liked order and structure, whereas Lukas was the go with the flow type(much more like myself, I'm ashamed to admit), so I could see right off the bat why they didn't work out.
There were times were I was frustrated with the way Emmy's friends treated her. They came off as more toxic than helpful sometimes and it made Emmy come off as weak and dependent. They treated her like a child, finding any chance to tell her how naive she was. I couldn't imagine being a grown woman letting my friends coddle me that way. I got that they had it out for Lukas but because I'm more like him than I was Emmy, I couldn't understand why she couldn't accept the spontaneity she fell in love with.
I mean yea there were times where he was just down right insensitive when it came to supporting her but I wanted her to be stronger and come to him early on about the things that bothered her instead of letting her get to her boiling point where she couldn't take it anymore.
There was a moment of cringe when Emmy slept with Lukas without a condom and an even stronger moment of cringe that Lukas allowed this to happen despite being engaged to someone else. I have absolutely no problem with the cheating(hell I've been down that road and I cannot judge another person)I just wanted him to be safe about it. What would have happened if he caught something and then gave it to his fiance?
Those are the types of questions I ask myself as a single woman in a world of people who don't bother to get tested and go around spreading their illnesses onto others. I love me some sex in a book and to be honest the love scenes were my favorite parts but sometimes i have a hard time getting into it when characters aren't being safe.
Especially the situation Lukas was in. Boy, you know better! Wrap it up before you cheat, compay.
The thing that really stood out to me about this story is that Lukas was a good man who really tried to do right by Emmy. Being the product of a single parent home and nearly every one of my friends who have children not having the father of their children around, it was nice to see Lukas owning up to the responsibility that it takes two to create a child. He wanted to be there, and maybe he could have tried harder but still he wanted to be there. He wanted that life with her. He wanted that fairytale and I wanted it for them.
Because this isn't a traditional romance the ending might unsettle you. I've been thinking about the ending all night but I think maybe it just hit me a certain way because I'm a twin and there's something sad that happens to her twins and it just had me in tears almost.
If you're looking for a Happily Ever After ending you will most likely not find it here. But if you're looking for a story about two people coming together after a lot of heartache and pain and one good thing coming out of it, I recommend this book. I'd recommend it to Fans of Adrienne Thompson and Dorothy Koomson.
Totally unexpected ending. Took me for a loop!
