Marr, Melissa : Wicked Lovely


Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.


Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty-especially if they learn of her Sight-and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.

Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.

Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.

Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

**Spoilers Maybe**
But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King, who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. His is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost-regardless of her plans or desires.

Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; everything.

Faery intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning twenty-first-century faery tale. [borrowed from goodreads:]

This book started out extremely slow. It took me awhile to get into the storyline, but boy when I did; I couldnt seem to put it down! Starting out I really liked Seth and almost hated Keenan, until the end. Close to the end Keenan started to grow on me a little. He showed his true self and his true feelings. This book ended with a good cliffhanger, I look forward to reading the second in the series.
