caffeinified 's review for:

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
4.0

My favorite part of the book:
I loved the ending. I mean, I kept reading wondering how they were going to fix this to make it work out the way it should work out. And she really just tied it all up in a nice little bow. People ended up with who they should end up with. And it was a happy ending to me.

I also thought that when Keenan took Aislinn to the faerie carnival, that it was a good part of the book.

I loved every single interaction between Seth and Aislinn. Seriously. Every. Single. One. So much love for Seth.

My favorite character(s):
Okay Seth was by far my favorite character. I like how quirky he is. He lives in a freakin' train and has a snake for a pet! He's covered in tattoos and piercings and omg the way he treats Aislinn is just too freakin' sweet. He is so loyal to her at every turn in the book. Everyone should have a Seth.

Donia's drama really touched me too. I mean in the line of the story here she is just such a tragic character. Usually it's the men who are the broody tragic ones. In this story, a girl is and you just want to hug her throughout the entire story.

My likes and dislikes about the book:
Dislike:
- They never really explained why Aislinn's family line had always had the sight. I guess they are just born with it? But that's just me grasping at straws. I wonder what was so special about them.
- AND! They never explained what happened to make her Grandmother so scared of the faeries. And what exactly happened to her mom. I mean they did with her mom but it was very vague and her Grandmother seemed to suggest that there was more to it. So whaaaat? I don't like gaping holes in the story. lol

Like:
- The author did a really good job of conjuring a seemingly unbeatable problem in this book. I mean I literally thought there were two options the whole way through to the end: bad... and badder. :)
- There wasn't a single unlikeable character in this book. Even the Winter Queen of evilness was likable.
- Once again the faeries were just fantastic. I liked how they were portrayed and described. I liked their personalities, their mischievousness. I like that there was a wide variety of different kinds of faeries.

Comments:
I thought this book was very good from start to finish. I never was like omg move along. I read it fairly quickly. There were moments when I thought the author could have expanded a bit more description wise but I think that about a lot of YA novels.

The scenes between Seth and Aislinn were very well written. A bunch of sexual tension and I like that. She put together a very good story.
