Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Lauren

Wicked Lovely is a modern day faerie tale following a teenage girl, Aislinn. Aislinn has been gifted/cursed with the Sight of being able to see through faery glamours, seeing them as they live. Faeries can hide themselves from normal people, but can also reveal themselvs. Secretly, Aislinn, as well as her Grams, can see them. That's how she notices when a court faery starts stalking her.

She finds safety with her best friend Seth, both because he lives in an old train that's made completely of iron (faeries' weakness) and because she just likes his company so much. When the faery starts following her, she confesses her Sight and everything to Seth, even at the risk of him thinking she's insane. Happy to help, Seth starts to help her prepare in case the court faery gets out of hand. He also wants the Sight so he can help.

Keenan is after Aislinn because he believes that she might be the Summer Queen. He's the Summer King, but most of his power was bound by the Winter Queen (aka: his mom). He's tested others who might be the Summer Queen, like Donia, but since none of them were, they succumbed to winter's chill and became painfully cold faeries. Donia is the current Winter Girl, and she wants Keenan to find the Queen for his own sake because she still loves him, even after what he caused her to become.

When Keenan finally intercepts Aislinn, all these characters become part of a confusing web of a story, where Aislinn has to cope with possibly losing her mortality, trying to stay with Seth, and just her safety.

Anone who likes the Twilight Saga, Need, or any other fantasy stories would love Wicked Lovely, so I reccomend it to them. Also, look out for the sequel, Ink Exchange.
