Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, Alyssa Bresnahan

Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely, #1)

by Melissa Marr and Alyssa Bresnahan

The clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in this cool, urban 21st century faery tale. Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries. Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world, and would blind her if they knew of her Sight. Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries. Now faeries are stalking her. 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 #1: Don't ever attract their attention. But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King and has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost! 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.

This book was interesting. Faeries, magic, evil, power, what more could you want?

Well, it was alright, but it was also dark. I’m not that fond of dark stories. So I didn’t really enjoy it as much as I would have liked. It made me feel anxious. In a bad way. I also found I wasn’t that interested in the whole story line.

Other than that. It was well written and interesting (If you like stories about the fey). I don’t really know what else to say. Mainly because I skimmed the last half of the book due to being bored and feeling way to anxious to actually get stuck in to the story.

The world created by Marr was an interesting one, but also a safe one. Most of the faeries were pretty annoying. Which I guess was the point.

There are five books in this series but to be honest I won’t read any of the others. It’s not a feel good book or world I guess.

If you like faeries though this will be your cup of tea!
