Wicked Lovely

Summary: Rule #1: Don’t ever attract their attention. Well Aislinn has just broken her number one rule. She has hidden in the mortal world pretending never to notice all the faeries and fey she sees every day around her. Well now Aislinn has attracted the attention of a faery—a king faery to be exact. She tried so hard to avoid them and now that they’re here and have their eyes set on her there’s no way out. Aislinn is thrown into the world she was taught to fear she knows that everything is at risk: Her freedom, her life, Seth, everything.

My Review: This book I’ve heard great things about. Great things that were justly earned. It wraps you in right from the summary. The characters are appealing (Seth especially!) and likable. The plot was original, though the idea of faeries and Sight can be slightly overused. It was captivating. The love triangle was amusing and trying to weave in the real world and the faery world was believable. What I loved about this book is it was not only was it about Keenan and Aislinn but it was also about the faery and real world. IT was like although Aislinn and Keenan were main characters they aren’t the main focus Marr doesn’t lose sight of the world and the plot at all. I can’t wait to finish Ink Exchange.

All in all, a great book.

Rating: 4.7/5 good book but not quite up to that 5/5.

Now I’m off to finish Ink Exchange! Enjoy!
