Moribund by Genevieve Iseult Eldredge

Moribund (Circuit Fae, #1)

by Genevieve Iseult Eldredge

High school sophomore Syl Skye is an ordinary girl. At least, she's trying to be. School photographer and all-around geek, she introverts hard and keeps her crush on sexy-hot glam-Goth star Euphoria on the down-low. But when a freak accident Awakens her slumbering power, Syl is forced to accept a destiny she never wanted-as the last sleeper-princess of the fair Fae. Suddenly hunted by the dark Fae, Syl's pretty sure things can't get any worse. Until she discovers her secret crush, Euphoria, is really a dark Circuit Fae able to harness the killing magic in technology. Even worse, she's been sent to destroy Syl. With mean girls and magic and dark Fae trying to kill her, it'll take more than just ''clap if you believe in fairies'' to save Syl's bacon-not to mention, her heart.

Full Review on my blog!

I wanted to love this book, really I did. It has so much going for it, but it never quite came together for me.

Moribund tells the story of Syl and Rouen. Syl is a simple sophomore in high school, except she got into an accident some weeks before the start of the story, which made her best friend turn on her somehow. She’s now a pariah at school.

Rouen is a dark fae, who is controlled by Agravaine, a meanie.While the characters did need a little more development and their voices weren't very distinct, I actually liked the writing style itself. I also loved the idea of meshing modern day technology and classic fae magic, its really unique... but maybe could have been executed better.

Nonetheless, it was still a good and intriguing story. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more from this author.  I recommend it, maybe you'll like it more than I did!
