THE PUSHY PIXIES ARE GOING DOWN (HOPEFULLY)

Carry a Faerie - Book Two

by Michele Notaro

Release Date: November 13, 2025

Review

This is a cute and playful series. Not that it doesn’t address some serious issues (animal cruelty, child neglect, loss), but it has a light-hearted feel as they tease and cuddle, and face off with some hilariously determined creatures.

Following the same couple as they get to know one another, fall in love, blend and expand their friends (and pets). These faerie re-homers with magical abilities will warm your heart, question having garden gnomes, and be ready to run if you come across a pixie. But most of all you will root for them as they try to solve mysterious happenings and hold the wrong’uns to account.

Though it’s entirely possible you’ll fall most in love with two particular twins!

Synopsis

Are there pixies absolutely everywhere? Unfortunately.

Tiny flying faeries with poisonous dust? Great…

Is Winter calling me his boyfriend all of a sudden? Wait. What?

It’s pixie season, and they’re everywhere. Win and I are wearing so much pixie gear we look like we’re in space suits. It isn’t fun, but getting dusted is worse. Pixies. Ugh. But Chaos and Aeson need our help, so here we are.

To top it off, Winter and I have people showing up from our pasts, demanding our attention and bringing up old hurts. But at least I have him by my side this time—and he has me. Not sure how long it’ll last—even though my heart wants forever and Win’s saying all the right things—but I’m definitely going to hold on to him while I can.

The Pushy Pixies Are Going Down (Hopefully) is an MM urban fantasy and the second book in Miles and Winter’s love story. Each book will have its own supernatural problem with a HFN ending for the couple, but there will be overarching plot themes throughout the series.

About Michele Notaro

Michele is married to an awesome guy that puts up with her and all the burnt dinners she makes—hey, sometimes characters are a bit distracting, and who doesn’t plot when they’re supposed to be cooking? They live together in Baltimore, Maryland with two little monsters, a three-legged princess, a four-legged goofball, and a cutie with giant ears (aka their two kids, their two cats, and their dog). She hopes to rescue another cat soon, and if her hubby wouldn’t kill her, she’d get more than one… and maybe a few more dogs as well.

She loves creating worlds filled with lots of love, chosen family, and of course, magic, but she also likes making the characters fight for that happy ending. She hopes to one day write all the stories in her head—even if there are too many to count!
