Book review: Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

 Book description:

    Emily Wilde is a curmudgeonly professor at Cambridge and she is working on an encyclopedia of faerie lore. She doesn't like people and would rather spend time with her dog. When she arrives at Hrafnsvik, she has no intention of befriending the locals. Her academic rival and friend, Wendall, decides to join her at the last moment. As she is uncovering secrets of the Hidden Ones, she discovers that Wendall isn't all he claims to be.



Book review:

    I was hesitant to pick this book up because of the hype and usually when something is hyped, especially in the fantasy romance side, it comes with smut which I don't like and I was surprised it didn't have any. What I liked about Emily is that she doesn't pick up social cues and not in a 'ha ha I'm so quirky way'. And Wendall even though he rivals Emily in a academic way genuinely want to be her friend and work with her and she has to learn how to accept his help and that he does want to help.
