Thornwood Fae #0
Pricked by Thorns
All wealthy men are in want of a wife. And a mad woman is in need of an escape.
Catherine swore she wouldn't go back to the asylum. Her parents locked her away for seeing ghosts and fae, but years of treatment couldn't cure her. Spirits still haunt her and the fae continue to taunt her. Her treatment might have failed, but if Elk Grove taught her one thing, it was how to impersonate a sane person. Finally free of the institution, she will do anything to remain so, even if she has to trick a man into marrying her.
With the family's debt hanging over her head, Catherine's mother is insistent she marry. Lord Thornton is the perfect candidate: a rich bachelor as charming as he is generous. But Catherine has learned the hard way that appearances can be deceiving and a charismatic mask can hide nefarious intentions. However, with creditors knocking down their doors and time running out, Catherine doesn't have time to be particular. Either she marries or she will be sent back to the asylum.
When a ghost makes an ominous prediction regarding Lord Thornton, it brings into question not only Catherine’s sanity but her plans to wed. Elk Grove told her ghosts weren't real, but can she ignore the warning when it's her life at stake? Now she must make a choice: defy her parents’ order and be locked away for good or risk her life and marry Lord Thornton instead.
This romantic gothic fantasy tale, a prequel to the Thornwood Fae, is sure to delight fans of Carnival Row and Jane Eyre.

Catherine has been recently released from Elk Grove Asylum into the care of her parents in London. Her mother is determined to marry Catherine off immediately to someone wealthy to solve their money problems. But Catherine is still seeing ghosts and fae at every turn and Elk Grove didn’t cure her of it, but instead taught her how to hide seeing them from others. But when Lord Thornton takes an interest in her and her mother goes out of her way to arrange meetings between them, Catherine knows she needs to tell him everything, even if it means he spurns her.
This was more of a gothic historical than a fantasy. Personally, I prefer more fantasy within the books I read. Though she saw the ghosts occasionally, they really didn’t interact with her and the fae aren’t mentioned outside of a glimpse or two. So, at its heart, this was really just a historical drama. I can’t even call it a romance really. The majority of the story was spent dwelling on their money problems and trying to act like gentry with all of the trappings of that age, but without any money to their name, and the typical regency romance push to marry. I can’t really call it a romance, because she never really conversed with or got to know the guy interested in her. I didn’t feel that either character was all that interested in the other. Though Lord Thornton did seem like a genuinely nice guy, the reader does get the feeling that there is something not right with him with how he stares into space every so often. I did like the brief glimpses of the ghosts though and trying to fit into life after being at an asylum. I’m looking forward to seeing the them interact more in the next book, since their relationship has a sort of Jane Eyre/Mr. Rochester pre-romance feel to it.

This novella has so much potential. Yes I rated it 2 stars but hear me out.
Fix the pacing (everything happened too damn fast), add more worldbuilding (I don't even know in what time this story was supposed to be set actually), flesh out characters more instead of simply black and whiteing them, drop the cliches (she trembled, she stumbled, it's giving teen vampire romances from 2012, some scenes play out ridiculous because of this).
Now I know entire trilogy is already out but I hope someday this gets revised and perfect into a better flowing story, it could be sooo much more than what the author set it up for.
That being said, I am kinda hooked and will be reading the rest of the books.

Pricked by Thorns is an intriguing gothic short. It needs a fair bit of proofreading, which I hope it gets because it holds plenty of promise.
I highlighted forty-seven instances of problems with spelling and punctuation, failure to use the past perfect, tautologies, awkward phrasing and the like. Although this sounds like quite a lot, none are major and I would have no qualms about picking up the next book.

I honestly couldn't tell you what happened. I read most of this while half-asleep. I did like the vibes though.
Edit: So I read it again. It's not as confusing or weird as I thought. I'm actually pretty sure this could really good if it actually hooked me. It just felt incomplete sort of.

I'm Hooked!! Fae Meets The Sixth Sense
This is such a fantastic start, or I guess really it's more of a prequel/sampler for the series. I usually steer away from the horror style-reads because I don't like how they make me so jumpy, but I was intrigued and now I am really glad I read it. The summary is very accurate and I don't want to spoil anything so if it sparked your interest, you like fae/fantasy books and liked the movie The Sixth Sense then you really can't go wrong here. I would recommend not reading this one at night like I did, it made for some effort getting to sleep. It's simply a really well written short book with an edge of creepy that definitely intensities the deeper you get in to it and grips you pretty quickly... oh and then the cliffhanger at the end!!!
Parents- PG13- middle grade and up read
Language: none
Violence: Really think The Sixth Sense - ghosts turning to show disturbing wounds like slit bloody throats, etc. Not for the squeamish or really young reader
Sexual Content- undertones and implied but no actual scenes, it's hard to say what the next book could hold here in content, I would recommend reading first to judge for yourself.
The narrator was fantastic, loved her British accent and her skill with voice differentiation and acting was wonderful.

This book is a prequel novella for a trilogy. It’s a highly atmospheric Gothic set in the 1800s, I would guess, about a young woman, Catherine, who has recently been released from an insane asylum that her parents sent her to because she saw things ( ghosts, fairies etc) that they could only understand as madness. They’ve brought her home to find a wealthy husband, as they have become impoverished due to a combination of the cost of her treatment and poor investments. Catherine is traumatized from her time in the asylum, believes herself to be mad, and still sees the supernatural phenomena that sent her away in the first place.
The book created an atmosphere of oppressive fear, an almost unbearable tension, as if I were right there with Catherine. I found the world she inhabits totally engrossing, and want to know what happens to her in her new life, to the point that I downloaded the next book immediately after finishing the prequel. Lord Thornton is suspicious, both too good to be true, and somehow completely false. Catherine is not mad; she lives in a world where Fae exist (the series is called Thornwood Fae after all), although they remain hidden from the human population, with the exception, it seems, of Catherine.
As in many self-published works, the lack of good editing is evident in errors of grammar, but the story is gripping enough that it can be largely overlooked.

*Audiobook review*
Pricked by Thorns is a novella in the gothic horror genre. The main character, Cathrine, can see things. whether or not they are real doesn't matter. The end result is the same, locked away against her will in an institution that delights in psychological abuse.
By the time we meet Cathrine she is a broken woman. She is finally released from the institution, only so she can land a wealthy husband to pay her parents debts.
I don't usually enjoy horror, but Cathrine's ghostly visitors are not as frightening as the possibility of returning to the asylum.
Cathrine is an instantly likeable character, so childlike in her desire to please her mother. Her arrested development is all the more sad when you realize that her parents treat her as little batter than a child. Little better than property in fact.
The narrator Mia is amazing! she reads with a wonderful English accent and she even gives each of the characters a unique voice, making this project sound like a full cast audio.
This novella is part of a larger story, on that I aim to read soon.

After "Fairy Ring," I was half-expecting a boring, black&white fairy story from this author.
But hey! It's actually a gothic faery novel (it gave me Northanger Abbey vibes, though that could be because I don't read many gothic novels lol...maybe it would have been more Wuthering Heights vibes if my read of that had been more recent than like 16 years ago lol) and Catherine (that is def Wuthering Heights vibes lol) is learning to Trust Her Instincts (about faeries, about men) after 5-7 years in an insane asylum (again, this book, like the prior novella, could have used more editing...was it 5 or 7 years, dear author? You wrote both). And who put her there? Her parents, of course. It felt like a late 1890s-early 1900's kinda gothic novel. It was an intriguing vibe.
While 3rd person ?relative (like it's Catherine's POV but in 3rd person, I forget the terminology), it was easy to see where Catherine was being led (and led astray) because of her imprisonment, and where she should've trusted herself more. I hope she learns to trust and grow more confident in the next book!
I'm curious to see where this story goes (in the actual trilogy, not these prequel novellas), especially what her [likely evil] new husband wants out of her...(he certainly didn't marry her to pay off all her family's debts without ulterior motive!!)

I did not realize how short this was when first downloading it. Nor did I realize that it acted as a prequel to an existing series. I have a feeling that existing fans/followers of the series would probably get more out of this than I myself did. I feel like the story ended much too soon, and that I was left with nothing but more questions. There were oh-so-many enchanting little details I kept waiting to hear more about, only for the book to end right when I thought we were getting to the meat of the story! However, upon realizing how this short story fits into an existing series, you can bet I will be checking out the other titles to get those answers!
I cannot recommend this as a stand alone title, but for those who are familiar with Andrews' Thornwood Fae series, or for those thinking about starting the series and wanting to whet their appetite before diving right in, I think you'll find this an intriguing tale!

I got this audiobook via a promo code and this is my voluntary review.
Cathrine, the protagonist, is able to perceive things. It doesn't matter if they are real or not. Her parents send her to a sanitarium for therapy as a result, where she is cared for by a doctor she really dreads, Dr. Armstrong.
The outcome is the same—she is imprisoned against her will in a facility that takes great pleasure in abusing her psychologically. When we first meet Cathrine, she is a damaged person. After five years, she is permitted to depart, but only to meet Lord Thornton so that her snooty, impoverished parents can marry her off properly to find a wealthy husband who will pay off her parents' debts. Catherine likes Thornton but feels insecure and reserved around him. She also has visions of him that warn her off and frighten her silly.
The narration by Mia Hutchinson-Shaw was excellent, and her tone complemented the book's overall gothic theme.
Ends on a Cliffhanger but having listened to the first in the series, I would urge you to continue, or see if theres a completed collection.

I absolutely love where this series is going, as it is about a young woman called Catherine who sees visions of ghosts and the little fae people who also talk to her. For this she is sent for treatment to a sanitarium by her parents and is under the care of a Dr Armstrong who she fears a lot. After five years she is allowed to leave but only so that her snobbish penniless parents introduce her to Lord Thornton in order to marry her off well. Catherine likes Thornton but feels inadequate and shy in his presence and gets visions about him too warning her off and scaring her witless. I love the tension building of the story, the fact that Catherine has the sight even though it got her into so much trouble and I would love to go on reading in the hope that maybe she would strike lucky in marrying Lord Thornton and getting away from her awful mother but I think this is more of a Gothic horror than a romance which I am sure is going to keep me on the edge of my seat when I read further!
November 27, 2020
In this novella, we get a glimpse into the story unfolding about Catherine, a girl who might be crazy, like her parents who sent her to a sanitarium think, or she might somehow have magical powers that allow her to see dead people and creatures who may or may not be there. She is married off to a rich man, very shortly after being released from the nut house in exchange for paying off her family’s debts. One of her visions warn her not to marry him or there will be death. Death, or back to the loony bin? Yup, she chose marriage. The first book in this series starts us off with her first day at her new husband’s house. I’m torn between needing to find out how this ends and not really caring. Three stars.
July 29, 2025
Her writing is simple and easy to follow but there are so many short sentences after short sentences that it didn’t flow smoothly at times. Also, there were some sentences that didn’t have periods at the end. So I think she might benefit from a better editor, if she even has one, or even rereading her work lol
Catherine’s mom is actually insane so I hope something happens to her at some point lol. Also is Thornton a play on words??? like what if he’s the fairy king or smth. that would make sense since his name is literally Thorn-ton.

Nicolette Andrews has written a short story that introduced a protagonist named Catherine, who has the ability to see ghosts and other creatures called fae, that entertained me. The author has written a convoluted and tortured character that has grabbed and kept my attention from the opening paragraphs. I am looking forward to what the next book will bring. Mia Hutchinson-Shaw's narration was great, and her style reflected the overall gothic feel of the book. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

WOW, IMPRESSIVE START TO THE SERIES as Catherine is introduced to us. The poor girl, I feel she is so misunderstood for the gifts she has. She has my sympathies and I am dying to know how she copes going forward. I don't know how I feel about the Lord, I am swaying both ways, is he good or evil? what is going on in the castle? who are the ghosts? will she find help in the little people? Recommended Clean book. Narration suited poor Catherine and the other characters came forward as realistic.
May 21, 2021
This is such a good opener to the series. Catherine has a broken spirit and thinks she's crazy and unworthy of kindness. Lord Thornton is handsome and rich, but there's definitely something wrong with him. The whole book, you can just feel Catherine's anxiety about, well, everything. It reminds me a bit of that movie Crimson Peaks. I can't wait to read the rest of the series

I was enjoying listening to this book and when you are wondering what will happen you are at the end of This book Cliffhanger!!!
If the next book was available on Audible books that would not be a problem, but it is Not!!
Narrator does a very good job with the characters voices and the entire storyline.

This was a great short story. poor Catherine needs to get away from her parents. They condemned her to the asylum & didn’t even try to understand what was happening to her. Then Ma Ma set her sights on Lord Thornton. Her mother should not meddle in ways of the heart. Great characters and I can't wait for more.

Just ok
I didn’t realize this was just a very short story that leads up to more books. I don’t like that because it leaves me hanging wondering what will happen. Guess I didn’t check close before downloading. Even though I’d like to know more about the main characters, didn’t find the story of much interest.

Now I understand!
Now I understand why Catherine was always so skittish all the time. I wish I had been able to read this before the next book. I’m glad that it was written so we can all understand where the characters came from.

Wonderful
Eerie and beautiful. The way this story is written is wonderful. I felt the tension and the fear that plagued Catherine’s heart and mind. I felt for her and though it was short I came to love her. I look forward to reading the next book.

Pricked by Thorns : Thornwood Fae 0 (Thornwood Fae #0) by Nicolette Andrews – You should absolutely read this first! I read Heart of Thorns first because I didn’t realize there was a prequel, and it left me very puzzled to start with. The Fae world is a dangerous one! Happy Reading!

This book is amazing! The fact that the character still has habits from when she stayed at the physic ward really keeps the flow of the book. She doesn’t just magically get better by the end.
I truly love a simple story that adds enough of a twist to keep it fresh and new.
I highly recommend.

Intresting book
She appears to be a seer, but of course in those times that was not accepted. She really appears to be almost in torment. And she thinks she is bad and causes those things to happen. Not my usual book topics will see what happens.

Let’s see if lord Thornton is an evil man or not.
Here’s hoping the fmc gets a back bone.
Gifted audio - honest review

This book is a very intriguing one. With so many questions I definitely want the next book. I love how the leading lady is trying to be so strong, I hope she finds she can lean on her new husband. A brilliant performance from Mia.
