Book review: Wicked Lovely

Wicked lovely by Melissa Marr

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.
Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

Aislinn has always been able to see faeries and now two particularly frightening ones are following her everywhere she goes. Not only that, but one of them makes himself visible and tries to talk to her. It turns out that he is Keenan, the Summer King, and he's determined to make Aislinn his Queen regardless of how she happens to feel about it. Fighting alone for her future, Aislinn must decide whether or not to tell her best friend about her secret or risk losing him, too.

I really got into this book and read it in a couple of days. There's a lot of tension between characters - Donia and Keenan, Aislinn and Seth, Beira and Keenan - which helped me get to know them and their different moods and dynamics. Despite the fact that there were a lot of characters, Marr somehow made it easy to keep track of everyone and get to know them. In the end, I couldn't put this book down.

4 stars out of 5 for Wicked Lovely.
