FORSAKEN FAE: BOOK ONE—PART OF A COMPLETED PARANORMAL ROMANCE SERIES (EBOOK, LGBT).
There's an unconscious Fae drooling on Len's couch.
That's not even the weirdest thing to happen to him this week.
Len's been told that not all Fae are scheming, manipulative pricks. A moot point, since this one definitely is—he knows that much from bitter experience.
So, when his vampire ex-coworker dumps Albigard of the Unseelie on Len's doorstep, he gives her two hours to find a better hiding place for the Fae fugitive before tossing him straight to the curb with the rest of the garbage.
He should have known better, of course. Because if there's one thing Len's learned since being thrown into the deep end of the seedy paranormal underworld, it's that nothing is ever so simple.
Now he's on the run from a cataclysmic primal force trying to tear its way into the human realm, stuck with an annoying bastard who already knows way too much about the inside of Len's messed-up head.
The first time he met Albigard, Len punched the Fae in his too-perfect face. This time, they'll have to learn to work together—or risk having their souls torn apart and consigned to the void, with the rest of humanity facing the same fate soon after.
The Wild Hunt has slipped its chains.
Darkness is coming for the world.

LEN GRAYSON OPENED his front door, blinked at the three inhuman figures standing on his porch, and considered slamming the door in their faces before anyone had time to say a single word. He fantasized in painstaking detail about doing exactly that, imagining his visitors’ looks of surprise for a long, blissful moment before dismissing the idea with reluctance.
After the week he’d just had, he was not prepared to deal with this particular brand of crazy. Unfortunately, this particular brand of crazy wasn’t the kind that went away because you slammed a door on it.
Over the past year or so, he’d discovered that the biggest problem with being ‘in the know’ when it came to the existence of the supernatural world wasn’t the creeping sense of existential dread. Well… it wasn’t just the creeping sense of existential dread. It was also the fact that most supernaturals were assholes. Admittedly not all of them—but an easy two out of three from the current sample group.
Vampires Ransley Thorpe and Zorah Bright smiled at Len with wide, plastered-on grins. Their cheerful geniality wasn’t very convincing, given the pair had the limp body of an unconscious—and all too familiar—blond-haired Fae slung between them.
“Whatever the question is, the answer is no,” Len told them flatly, running a jaundiced eye over the unnaturally handsome creature hanging between Rans’ pale strength and Zorah’s tawny curves.
“Hullo, mate. Need a quick favor from you.” Rans’ voice was English-accented. The words were delivered in an airy tone, as though he hadn’t even registered Len’s blanket denial a mere two seconds earlier.
Len felt his molars grinding together and consciously loosened his jaw. Before he could marshal any decently logical arguments for not letting them cross the threshold into his house, Zorah jumped into the conversation.
“Sorry, Len,” she said. “Normally we wouldn’t ask—”
“Yes, you would,” Len interjected.
“—but Albigard’s down for the count, and we need to keep him off the radar while he recovers,” she finished.
Len closed his eyes and took a slow, deep breath. In… and out.
Zorah made up the thirty-three-point-three percent of this group who didn’t generally display asshole-ish tendencies. To make the situation even more complicated, she also owned the house. Len was only renting it. Well… more accurately, Len was cutting a monthly rent-sized check to a local shelter for homeless teens. The checks were mostly a way to salve his conscience, since Zorah refused outright to accept any compensation from him for using the place while she was off jet setting with her obscenely rich undead boyfriend.
Combined, these two facts made the prospect of actually shutting the door in her face a bit awkward. Len fought a brief internal battle with himself and lost. He opened it wider, standing aside for them.
“All right,” he said, very much against his better judgment. “Come in, then. You’d better get the sparkly blond bastard off the street before one of the neighbors decides to call the cops on us.”
Rans smiled a shark’s smile at him, and Len suppressed a shudder upon catching a brief glimpse of fang.

A truly immersive book with adult and LGBTQ+ content without being a lusty, sticky mess. Highly enjoyable with lots of action and humour
I really enjoyed this book so much so I had to buy the audio so I wouldn’t have to wait till I got home to finish I’d , I’m curious to see how tinkerbell and Lens story plays out !
This was good as far as suspense and action goes. A little drawn out in parts but good storyline. Kept waiting on a relationship to emerge but no such luck.
Love the idea, but there was so much missing, they'd talk about things that happen in past but never elaborate. For such short book, could of worked on it to make it less choppy/garbled/missing/short. Love main character. Really think it could be good, just needs a lot of work. Not sure I'll buy next book.
This is an EPIC book! Fae, demons, vampires and humans all together! Not necessarily getting along, but working together. I was impressed with the amount of background and loved the modern setting! This is a very slow burn book, so be prepared. However the writing style is wonderful. Highly recommended
I bought this because I needed some snarky humor. I mean, who can resist a snockered drooling Fae, right? (We all have that one friend....) What I didn't realize is that this is the first book in a series that's not completely released yet. Does that matter? No! The next two books are coming very soon. Will I buy them? Heck, honey, I've already preordered them! And you should too! Thank you, Ms. Steffan. I cannot wait to find out what happens to these two. :)
If you read the other vampire series, you will love this one too. Len and his friend themselves in a big mess. They need to find a way to close the ref between realm, before it distroys the world. Could not stop reading. Want more of Len, Albigard, Zorah, Rans, etc. The book ends in a cliff hanger. Looking forward to the next book. Well done to the author.
I loved this book. It kept me in suspense and reading non-stop till the end. But beware that this ends in a huge cliffhanger and you'll have to read the rest of the set to find out what happens.
First let me say this first few chapters is awesome. Its just frustrating so many of theses books are divided into "releases " i know marketing and spacing out income but geeze just charge $3.99 and give us a whole book. This is a great beginning to a story don't get me wrong, has all my attention, but the thrill of immersion gets plumented to earth this way.
If you have been reading the series be ready for a wowza moment, this baby throw you for a loop with all the new things going on . Len is finally finding out about himself an boy is a doozy of a discovery.Most of the original gang is in this one as we start to deal with a new threat to the realms.
I would have completely loved this book if it wasn’t for one MAJOR thing: it constantly refers to events of at least one and maybe two other series, the Last Vampire and Vampire Bound series. I wish it would have said something in the blurb like “read that series first so that you’ll have the background for this one.” I hate feeling like I should know a character or backstory event that is a big part of a book. It seems like the other series would be interesting, but I almost feel like not reading them out of spite. I don’t know if I want to support this author that way. Otherwise, I enjoyed the characters of this book, even if I don’t know if they were in either of the other series. If there is going to be a romance, it is very slow burn, as in there is absolutely no sign of it in this book. I will probably read the next book, as I want to see where this story is going, but I’m still irritated.
Albigard Has been in the series for so long as a side character but many times one of the main characters. But we haven’t gotten his history and learning about him until this book. He still the same grumpy Fae but seeing his softer side is really enjoyable. I’m excited to see were things go with Len.RA always writes great books that are funny, interesting with hotness. This is one of those great books.
I am a forever fan after only having read The Last Vampire series and it’s spin-offs which are spectacular! When I wait for a new release from Ms. Stefan I will often re-read from the first book again and learn even more. That said, Albigard of the Unseelie has always been a favored character of mine and I may have peed my pants a bit when I learned about it his seres. TMI? Oh now just you wait!Start with The Last Vampite series, you’ll set yourself up for a wilder ride! Peace.......Barbara
Pro-kink protagonist who’s Seen Some Stuff slowly waking up to the wilder world. Loving stoner scenes, great seeing a gay character that isn’t borderline alcoholic.
If you like me have been waiting anxiously for this book ever since the Vampire Bound series first started, you won't be disappointed. This is classic R. A. Steffan at its best: punchy dialogue, excellent group dynamics and exposition that manages to feel organic despite having a ton of ground to cover. Len, predictably, is an amazing character to build a series around — as is Albigard. The ...thing between them (not quite sexual tension but budding attraction for sure) is indeed a very slow burn but it would have felt weird if it wasn't given how these two characters started off and everything else that's happening.Without giving too much away, I will say this:a) the revelation about Len and what's unique about him is BRILLIANTb) that cliffhanger was totally unexpected and brutal and I can see people freaking out but I know (hope?) it will probably be fixed SOMEHOW in the next books. Right? RIGHT?Anyway, go get this book. And then join me in waiting for the next instalment.
My evening reading time couldn't come fast enough. I even cheated on occasion by opening the book early. Definitely a bizzare plot. I loved the characters so much that I have begun another of the related series by this author. Highly recommend for fantasy & romance fans.
Wow... I absolutely loved and lived this book!!!! The worldbuilding and characters are truly exceptional. The author exquisitely wove tension and emotion together in such a wonderful way that I laughed, experienced fear and cried. I truly cared for these people as if they were real. I have already preordered books 2 & 3 and can't wait to see what happens next. It is also fun reading a book where on of the the two MCs shares my name!
If an author is going to write one story over 3 books, just freaking say that in the blurb!! Then I don’t reach the end angry. I know what I’m getting into. This is my first time reading this author & while I was able to glean this is a spin off of another story, it is a good book. I’m just angry the story stops in the middle. This is not a series. Series are complete stories in an overall arc. This is the 1st of 3 books in an overall story.So far, I’m liking it, which is part of why I’m so annoyed. I will read the next two but I will wait until I can read them one after another.
This was a very interesting story. I like the friction and tension between the protagonist and the elf. They're prickly and don't get along but the development between them that goes from "almost hostile" to "that dude I sometimes hang out with" leave me excited for the rest of the series. The story itself is also intriguing and having never read the other series that connect to this I was at least able to fill enough gaps from what was given to not feel frustrated with what was given. I could prolly talk your ear off about why I liked this book. But instead I'll just simply say- I need more and can't wait to get my hands on the next ones when they are released in paperback (bc I don't do kindle) so please gimme lol
This is the first I have ever read by the author but after reading this one book I'm definitely going to go back and read the othe books Vampire Bound and The Last Vampire which started it all. There is this unique and intriguing twist on what you think you know about Vampires, Demons and the Fae it leaves you wondering who is really evil and who is good and the intrigue well its the Veil why is it failing are the Demons rising or maybe the Fae are just getting greedy so with all the drama angst and the characters dialogue the lack of steam was okay really enjoyed this and I didn't feel that I missed anything not having read the other books it just made me want to read them anyway. So here's a little bit about the book but I'm warning anyone who reads this its addictive and when it ends on a cliffhanger makes you want to scream so I had to pre-order the next two books.Len has come home to a situation as if having his last job blown up wasn't enough now he has a very attractive but irritating house guest why can't his friends choose better friends or maybe he should stop hanging out with creatures and fantasy characters Vamps and Fae always bring him trouble. Soon it's a fight for everyone's life and a secret about himself he never saw coming hes had a crazy childhood seen chaos and lost friends but never ever did he expect the most annoying and uptight Fae to disrupt his life like this.Albigard is complex he comes of as completely cold and unfeeling very closed off until certain things happen to change his mind about someone and then further tradgy and betrayal will come for him. When you see where it all ends you wonder if he's better off having gone against his own or weather he should have just stayed out of things or if whatever is coming would have happened anyway.
