Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

I finished this book a few days ago but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to post about it until now.

About the book:

The rules are breaking one by one....

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.

Rule #2: Don't speak to them.

Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

Aislinn has always seen faeries and carefully hid her Sight from their cruelty. But now the rules that have kept her safe aren't working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.

With her one true love by her side, Aislinn has been chosen to face the ultimate trial. If she succeeds, the full force of Summer will be unleashed. If she fails, she will suffer the piercing cold of Winter forever.

About the author:

Although I was voted “most likely to end up in jail” in high school, I decided to get an M.A. and teach Lit and Gender Studies to college students across the country. Along the way, I’ve been unable to resist trying new things—including working an archeological dig, slinging drinks at a biker bar, and getting fabulous tattoos.
I call all of this “research” for my writing. To fill my craving for new experiences, I’ve lived in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Southern California, and I plan to keep roaming with my family as widely and as often as possible. This year, I think, I’m living in Virginia.

My thoughts on the book:

It took awhile for me to get into the book, but once I did, I was drawn in. I had to keep reading to find out what fate Aislinn would end up with. The faeries in this book aren't your typical faeries. They're mean and they're cruel and they're kick ass. All in all, the book was very well written and the characters were well developed, but the book was a little slow to start, at least in my opinion. I will, at some point soon, read the sequel and other books written by Melissa Marr.

My deadline for finishing my first draft is rapidly approaching and I still have 20,000 words left to write. If all goes as plans, I will still finish by the 20th as I plan to do a lot of writing between loads of laundry this weekend. This last week was unexpectedly busy. I felt like I was hardly home and when I was home, I was working my day job or taking care of other necessary things. This next week will be a much slower week for me thankfully.

Have a great weekend!
