I really enjoy this book, it a great addiction to all the fae books out there. It moved a little slow for me but it's an unique take on fairy mythology.The books is sweet and some what funny. I like that Pike gave each character their moment in the story.The main character battles between two love interests, one a human and the other a fairy. Compelling story! Who to choose?
This book is the Stephanie Meyer's twilight but with fairies

This book is not what I expected. I thought this book was some dumb supernaturual novel. Again I judged the book by its cover.

After reading the first few chapters I was hooked. This is most likely one of the most supernaturual books I have ever read. I enjoy books with more purpose, and more realistic events in it but this actually changed my mind a little.

Basically this book is about a girl named Laurel who is a faerie and has a lot of chaos about to approach her. Yup at first it seems dumb but you have to actually read it first to see how great it is.

I highly recommend this because this book is different. Pike has a creative mind to make a book like this and I love it. I can't say it is the best book I've ever read, but it certainly is good.

Wings was quite a good read. I am kind of struggling to rate it, since it was somewhere between pretty okay and liked it (3.5 stars? 4?)

Meyer said that it was "A remarkable debut". Although I am struggling with the "remarkable" part, it was a good enough start to the series that I would read the next book.

If you are a person who enjoys love triangles and twists on the supernatural, you might want to give this one a try. It is an interesting twist on the usual faerie/fey/fairy/fae story. Here, faeries don't just live in the enchanted forest (:P). They are actually plants, literally. And they bloom once a year, starting at about fifteen. Yep, you heard me. Bloom, as in flower-coming-out-of-your-back bloom.

Lauren is a fifteen-year-old, home schooled faerie, though she doesn't know that last part yet. She is starting high school this year, and with it, she discovers she's not who she thought she was. At all.

Yes, there is a love triangle in this book. On one side there is David, Lauren's best friend, who is sweet and patient and logical and understanding. On the other side, there is Tamani, who is a faerie as well, and who ignites chaotic feelings in Lauren.

At some points I got a bit frustrated with Lauren, but I am quite looking forward to the next in the series; Spells.

So, to sum it up, this is a book about a home schooled fifteen year old plant faerie, who battles with trolls and is interested in two boys: a faerie and a human.
