Fabulous Modern Faery Tale
Ethereal cover leading to a surreal story of faeries living among humans.
Wonderful imagery - the descriptions leapt straight off the pages into my imagination. Not a good thing when you have a phobia of snakes and there is a detailed description of a pet boa constrictor.
Intriguing story with a very powerful finale (I cant go into detail without spoiling the story.
I particularly adored the quotes about faeries and folklore above the start of the chapters. They really reinforced the story and added to its realist element.
The characters were all well developed and their interaction was a joy to read.
Overall a fabulous recommended read by Emma Davies -
Delightfully Wicked
Essential for all fans of Holly Black or Cassandra Clare Wicked Lovely is a deliciously dark tale where urban culture suddenly collides with faerie revelries. Forget all you knew about faires with shimmering glitter dust and delicately painted wings, Melissa Marr's faeries are beautiful, deadly, spiteful, more then a little wicked and encroaching with increasing frequency on Aislinn's fragile world. More terrible then her fear of faeries is that of losing her little freedom and she must decide soon what course her future while take. This is nothing like the fairytales you used to know and definately a must have for all mature lovers of magic. It has my top marks. by Ashleigh Ubank
