She follows a set of rules handed down by her grandmother designed to keep her ability hidden from the fey, and spends time with Seth, her tattooed and pierced friend who lives in a series of train car (which is handy, since the fey can’t abide steel). She has the Sight, meaning she can see faeries all around her, even under the glamours they use when they want to be viewed as normal by humans. Aislinn, a Catholic high school student, lives in Huntsville, PA with her grandmother. I’m going to keep my plot summary brief, since this book is now quite well known.
This book was published in 2007, and two others in the series have since come out. I’m happy to report that I failed to consider a third alternative: a chaste, age appropriate YA romance that has all the elements of adult romance that I find compelling, with a strong enough characterization of the teen protagonists that I was never in any danger of wanting to be one of them. I believed either that a romance between teens would not interest me, or that it would interest me, and I would feel like a dirty old woman (I’m in my late thirties.). Like most avid romance readers, I have occasionally ventured outside the genre to try other books with strong romantic elements, such as urban fantasy, sci fi, suspense, and mystery. So, we warmly welcome Jessica and here is what she has to say:Īna and Thea challenged me to read a YA, and suggested Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. As soon as we asked her which genre she does not read and she said YA, we thought of Melissa Marr and decided to dare her to read Wicked Lovely. This time, the victim guest is Jessica who writes the excellent Racy Romance Reviews. Wicked Lovely is her first novel.Every month we dare a book blogger to read a book that is outside their comfort zone and invite them to post their reviews or thoughts here. Instead, she went to graduate school, worked in a bar, became a teacher and did a lot of writing. About The Author: Melissa Marr was voted in high school the "most likely to end up in jail". Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working any more, and everything is on the line: her freedom her best friend, Seth her life everything. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost.
Keenan is the Summer King and has sought his queen for nine centuries. Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention. 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 #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world, and would blind her if they knew of her Sight. Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
