Fake Dating a Human 101

High Court of the Coffee Bean, Book 4

By: Jennifer Kropf

Narrated by: Sarah Kisko

The High Court of the Coffee Bean is back again! Only this time, there aren't even any cookies.

In this fantasy rom com series finale, things take a sinister turn for the Coffee Bean Crew when Shayne Lyro disappears to the Ever Corners to face the family he once knew and assassinate a dreamslipper who's been sending him nightmares and calling him home. But when he makes the ultimate decision to let the dreamslipper live, everything goes wrong and he finds himself in the crosshairs of his murderous, diabolical family instead.

When Lily Baker first steps into the magical Corners of Ever, she's in awe of its beauty and lure. But when she starts hearing a tune in the air no one else can hear, she begins to suspect something is wrong. She can't figure out why the song is speaking to her directly or what it means that she's the only one who can hear it. At first, she thinks it's chance, until the truth comes out about Shayne's "feely feelings" and she realizes there's a reason she's being targeted.

With rival Houses at each other's throats, and heir disputes at every turn, Lily finds out the hard way that the Corners of Ever are no place for a human to be, and that once you step into the madness, it can be nearly impossible to get back out. And as Shayne tries to set everything right, he realizes too late he may have accidentally sacrificed the one thing he wanted to keep the most.

Fake Dating a Human 101 is book 4 of the High Court of the Coffee Bean series, a tale that follows a band of fairy assassins who enter the human world and try to live among them, hardly blending in at all. This series is the answer for anyone wondering what would happen if similar characters from The Cruel Prince ended up trapped in a Hallmark movie. It's "cozy with a dallop of darkness", loaded with cozy cafe vibes and fairy nonsense, and sprinkled with a few epic deathmatches.

we need more

I don't know what else to say but it would be an absolute tragedy to leave this world after only four short books. I know it says quartet, but the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy trilogy just kept going and this one should too.

Sad it’s over

What a fun book series! We have grown to adore the fae and their humans over these past 4 books. So sad that it’s over…unless…Jennifer, do you have any more coming? 🙏 We are fans and would love to follow more fae adventures.

Ugly Human

The banter is wonderful. The flow and roll coaster ride you take with the characters are fun. A great end to a fun series. Thanks again Jennifer for a wonderful story that my kids and I can enjoy reading.

So sad it's over

I really enjoyed each book in the series! They've been clean and more wholesome than the many fae stories out there right now. I hope Jennifer Kropf continues the story! Lily and Shane need to get married too😍

it's a wonderful ride

The ups and downs and completion of a fairytale just to know the author has changed her mind and there will be more.
