I Can’t Wait For…A Fuckery of Fae and Fate by A.J. Braun
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about but haven’t yet read. Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
You can find the releases I’m most anticipating this year over on my Unmissable list, but I use Can’t-Wait Wednesday to feature books I’m hopeful about but aren’t as sure of.
This week my Can’t-Wait-For Book is A Fuckery of Fae and Fate by A.J. Braun!

In one of their first-ever documented adventures, bounty hunters Rhema—a grumpy, axe-wielding fighter—and Benny—her chipper, easily excitable dragon—save a bratty princess from a trickster fae prince.
But when they attempt to return her home, not only is Rhema growing an inconvenient attachment to the spitfire royal, but the princess is also being chased down by droves of sexy, dumb, and very violent fae men who claim she's their mate. In order for Rhema and Benny to make it to the Butter and Barmaids Festival on time, they have no choice but to seek out Rhema's hot bounty hunter rival, an expert of the fae realm, to help them uncover the mystery of where all these chiseled-jawed men are coming from—and stop them before the princess falls for their illustrious charm.
I hope it won’t take anyone who follows this blog by surprise when I say I deeply despise what Maas and her ilk have done to the reputation of the Good Neighbours; that I cannot stand the ‘genre’ typified by Noun of Noun and Noun titles; and I wish I could wake up to discover the whole trend has been a terrible nightmare and it’s over now.
I am therefore so excited for a book taking the piss out of the stupid Fae Mate trope! CAN WE HAVE ALL THE LAMBASTING OF IT, PLEASE? Gods, this looks so freaking cathartic!
Even without that, this sounds delightfully ridiculous, and I am made very hopeful by all the neon in that cover!
