I think that the second book in Marr’s series is even better than the first. Leslie is a troubled teen that has a difficult and abusive home life. To express herself and deal with her pain, she decides to get a tattoo. The tattoo design she chooses brings her into the realm of fairies (and not the pretty and happy kind). This is the latest book released in the series, although book three is currently in Advanced Readers Copy. Can’t wait.

Carolyn’s review made me realize I couldn’t find the review I (thought) had posted. This is one of my favorite young adult ‘series’ (second to Twilight). Marr has created a world of books loosely tied together by characters but they do not have to be read in order. Wicked Lovely is the 1st, and she has created a wonderful, magical world full of flawed characters and bad guys. The plot revolves around Aislinn; she can see fairies because of a magical gift she would give anything to not have. What I love so much about these characters is that none of them are traditional; the main love interest has piercings and there are tattoos. I love that Marr steps outside of the box, and this book is a fantastic suggestion for both young adults and adults.

This story was a really interesting one about faeries in modern times. I mean the sneaky, tricky, don’t want to get mixed up with faeries kind. The Summer King needs a queen, and she’s not interested.

It was a nice take on fantasy, a very modern faerie tale.
