Find out how it all began in the bestselling Pixie Dust Chronicles.
Karli Lane is the last remaining fairy on Earth. When vampires nearly drove her race to extinction, all Fae returned to their homeland, inadvertently leaving her behind. Only four-years-old at the time, Karli was forced to hide her identity in a world full of exposed supernaturals.
Now, twenty years later, she's facing one of the most significant events of a Fae's life, with little understanding of what that means. To complicate matters further, she witnesses a gruesome murder which brings a ruggedly handsome warlock and a sinfully sexy vampire into her life, both of whom are obsessed with uncovering her secret.
Karli finds herself riding a non-stop emotional roller coaster while trying to figure out who she is, how to control her powers, and most importantly, how to stay alive.
Fans of Bella Forrest and Deanna Chase will love this sexy, thrilling, and addictive series. PIXIE DUST is the first installment of the Pixie Dust Chronicles. Each book must be read in order.

After reading a few of the reviews for this book, I felt like the author needed someone to stick up for her a little! I am a HUGE fan of HP Mallory's and I've noticed there are lots of people calling this book a ripoff and while I see a lot of the similarities in the story, I wouldn't really call it an all out ripoff. What I will say is you can definitely see an influence of HP's in Laura Lee's writing and if you enjoy anything by HP, you'll probably enjoy this book. If you can go into this book with the understanding that it is for adults and there are descriptive sexual scenarios and there are a lot of similarities, you should give it a try and judge for yourself. I love HP Mallory's books and I enjoyed Laura Lee's as well. Besides, our country has some pretty impressive copywriting laws in place and with her success, I'm sure HP could manage to afford an attorney if she really felt ripped off. Try the book, you might like it. I did.Product details

Pixie Dust An Urban Fantasy Romance The Pixie Dust Chronicles Book 1 edition by Laura Lee Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews
Weak, very weak; that's my assessment of this drivel. That's right I said it. I usually try really hard not to say insulting things. I know it's extremely hard to write even a weak book. I do. I'm sympathetic. But just about every aspect of this book and its main character grated on me.
Starting with the ridiculous attempt at regionally hip dialogue "True dat, Bitches!" Ugh. This followed immediately by the cookie cutter caricature of a slutty BFF. I'm not slut shaming here. Eri seems really comfortable in her slut role, even giving instructions to dress sluttier, etc. More power to her. But as a character, she was beyond unidimensional. There simply wasn't anything else to her (or anyone else).
Then the movie comparisons started...and never stopped. It's a poor way to describe something or provide familiarity, but also a pet peeve of mine. Both because I no longer own a television or bother with Hollywood (so I often don't get the references and kind of resent the assumption that everyone will) and because it dates a book quickly. Plus, it just clutters up the narrative.
Just about the time I'd ground my teeth and persuaded myself to stick with it. I was blindsided by a series of instant and baseless attitude and character changes. One second two characters are cocky and hating each-other, the next throwing themselves at one another in sexual heat, then suddenly all shy and hesitant. So, enemies to lovers to touchingly sweet love in about an hour. Oh, and this happened more than once.
About that touching, all consuming love...There were two of them, for starters. And while I love a little ménage here and there, this wasn't that. It wasn't even a love triangle. It was just two men who for no apparent reason suddenly fell madly in love with one woman (on sight), were willing to do anything for her, and apparently didn't even mind the other. Hmm, I guess maybe that could have been a little further developed...maybe at all.
Even more confounding than the sudden, obsessive love of two sexy, powerful men who didn't know her from Eve was the question of why/how the vampire managed to overcome the bloodlust that plagued EVERY VAMPIRE THROUGHOUT DOCUMENTED HISTORY as if it was nothing at all. No explanation provided or even attempted. And if that wasn't enough to make me gnash my teeth, the question of why she would put herself into the position to find out he wasn't going to kill her immediately is. Hello stupid!
But stupid was a running theme for her. For example, being a fairy is supposed to be some big secret she's kept her whole life, but her slutty BFF knows and she's only been Karli's BFF for a year or so. Which means Karli couldn't have waited long to tell her the oh-so-big secret. She then easily (accidentally) revealed herself by displaying her powers to someone she just met. Shortly thereafter, she walked into a possibly dangerous situation and orders 3 double shots of vodka. Guess being clear headed isn't important or anything.
Could she really be that stupid? Yep, 'cause next Ms. Clutso sliced herself open in front of a vampire and let him lick it clean. (You know those vampires who almost exterminated her entire race for their blood, yeah, them.) Really. Not too careful, our MC. She basically approached Too Stupid To Live territory and camped out there.
Then there was the juvenile shouting, yelling, screaming, etc. Maybe this is just a symptom of the verbs the author chose to use, but it made everyone (but especially Karli) feel overly dramatic and tween-angsty. Especially since more often than not the circumstances didn't call for all the extra emotion. For example, she Karli didn't want to have a conversation with Vance (a perfectly reasonable one, BTW), so she screamed at him, slammed doors, tried to throw him out and eventually threw herself into idiotic danger with a smirk. Someone just go ahead and shoot this woman for me, please.
Add to all that the obvious attempts to add pointless titillation and I'm darned near toasted. As an example, one night after meeting Karli the detective asks her to accompany him to seek out a suspect (obviously proper police procedure, that). He then takes her to a sex-bar. This was pointless for anything but to showcase her apparent naiveté and allow for a whole boatload of sexual snippets. It was also almost too cliché (and over-used in PNR) to bear.
Plus, in an atmosphere of complete sexual nihilism there isn't a single non-hetero act to be seen and the whole scene seemed oddly male-centric, making even the women seeking their own pleasure feel like sex workers instead of equal-part satyric. Seems unlikely and mildly insulting.
This theme of pointless titillation continued in the make out sessions that leapt out of no where, but never actually went anywhere. This irked the hell out of me because they were so jarring, but also because it made the book feel very stop-start. Not to mention there was a whole heck of a lot of internal monologue-like fantasies, posturing, and petting and NO ACTUAL SEX. Seriously?!
Then I had to tolerate all of Leo's pet names sweets, my sweet, dearest, my dear, love, my love, etc. (There were an endless supply of them.) This drives me crazy in general. I find them belittling. But here they were especially annoying since he and Karli had no relationship yet for him to so casually, use them. It felt false.
The writing itself was fine. I found it a little repetitive at times, as reader saw events and then characters relate that event to others. There were also a number of infodumps that made things feel clunky. But beyond my basic loathing for first person points of view the writing wasn't too bad.
To wrap this sucker up, I disliked this book. I hated the main character. I found her a weepy, bratty, juvenile woman. I probably would have liked the men if they'd been developed at all and if I understood where their obsession for Karli came from. But they weren't and I didn't. But as much as I disliked it all, it's almost all personal preference sorts of material. The nuts and bolts are there and another reader might (does, since there are plenty of great reviews of Pixie Dust out there) really enjoy it. Just not me, not me at all.
Karl is hiding her light under a bushel as she attempts to come to terms with being the only our blood fairy this side of the veil. She must navigate the coming immortality changes happening to her along with not knowing how to access her magic. Two love interests spice up this racy novel very well. Enjoy !
Vampires, demons,witches, warlocks, and fairies I love them all. This paranormal romance is about a fairy, Karli Lane, going through the stages of immortality, dodging an ex boyfriend, having the hots for two different men and her job is being plagued by a blood thirsty demon. What's a girl to do but tan in her spare time and string along a vampire and warlock.
This book intrigued me enough to read it all the way through and then buy the next. It's a page Turner with a lot of sexy scenes and a good mystery. I usually don't go for love triangles but this has me on edge. Both guys seem to want Karli for themselves but they also want her to be happy. Hard to pick a team when both candidates are both sexy, protective, and in love with her.
The only reason this is not a 5 star rating is because the author makes me want to strangle the main character. I mean come on, karli just does not seem to be all that smart. But it was good enough otherwise I wouldn't be going back for round 2.
Normally I'm not one to compare titles from different authors in my reviews, but I felt this one warranted just that.
First, let me begin by saying that I'm a HUGE H.P. Mallory fan and have read every single novel she has released. I'm also a HUGE Laura Lee fan and follow her just as religiously. With that said, there is absolutely no room whatsoever for those horrible accusations that Mrs. Lee endured involving plagiarism. One reviewer even claimed that there were instances of word-for-word occurrences. Really? Where? There is nothing included to back up such ignorant claims, because--guess what?--there is no way to.
If you enjoy HP Mallory's work, this will most likely be an enjoyable read for you. It falls under the Urban Fantasy genre with romance still being a prominent part. In addition, you'll be introduced to a variety of paranormal creatures/characters (witches/warlocks, demons, vampires, fairies, etc) who reside and work amongst humans in Las Vegas. There's plenty of action and mystery, and it's definitely a page turner. Don't let the ignorance and horrible false accusations deter you. Otherwise you'll be missing out on a fantastic story (ehem... an original fantastic story) and an incredible world.
