Wicked Lovely
by Melissa Marr
Wicked Lovely is one of the many young adult supernatural romanace novels to follow in the wake of the successful Twilight series.
The main character is a human girl who can see faeries, and the story begins when the faeries start to take more than a passing interest in her.
Most of the story relies heavily on Faerie culture and tradition around what I guess is best described as arraged marriages. Which I felt was a detriment as I hardly relate to the issues that surround a faerie court.
The other main problem I have with this novel which may be a complaint about teen novels in general is that the author seems to use writing for teenagers as an excuse to have poorly described settings and blunt showing rather than telling.
If you're looking for an urban fantasy with a good mix of action and romance, Wicked Lovely doesn't satisfy the latter, the story revolves around a love triangle, so if thats your thing great! If not probably give this story a miss.
