Melissa Marr unveils a whole new perspective of faries with her book Wicked Lovely. The main character Ashlinn and her grandmother have the rare gift of the Sight, which gives them the power to see invisible faries. However, Ashlinn believes the Sight is a curse. Her grandmother forces Ashlinn to follow strict rules to keep from attracting the faries attention.
But, the rules begin to fail Ashlinn when the powerful Summer King, Keenan, seeks her out. He is convinced that Ashlinn is the Summer Queen whom he has been looking for for over nine centuries. Keenan's love Donia also stalks Ashlinn in order to warn her of Keenan's true nature. More than ever Ashlinn needs her best friend Seth, whom she has intimate feelings for, to help devise a plan to escape the eyes of Keenan and Donia. And, if that weren't enough, Keenan's mother Beira wants Ashlinn dead, so she can keep her wintry hold over the mortal world.
Marr's first of three books takes you on a friged roller coaster ride with twists and turns not reachable by the average human. Though the first couple of chapters start out a little slow, they are the build up to an entangled love square that keeps you guessing until the end. Once you pick up this book you won't believe what happens next.
