jessica_z 's review for:
Wicked Lovely
by Melissa Marr
I would give it three stars, but I can't bring myself to do it. It was alright, mediocre a best. I liked some parts and wished some were better written or handled in a different way. Aislinn needed more character. She seemed kind of uninterested in her situation. It was like she was told what was going to happen and was said, "I don't really feel like handling this right know. Actually, I don't feel at all so..." Seth was the perfect dream boy, but seriously needed a life. He was basically in love with her and would drop everything to do something for her. Most girls would want that, but I would like my space sometimes. As much as I hate love triangles (Only poorly written ones.)this book might have been better with one. I'm not 100% on that idea because I liked how the ending wasn't cliché. It was different. I can only imagine the author's thought processes. "I don't want to make the ending cliché, but I can't have her not choose then what's the point of writing this book. I'll just have her get both things, that'll be new and different." It might have been, but it took the whole book for her boyfriend (Seth) to come up with the idea. Going back to Seth, HOW THE HELL DID AISLINN NOT SEE ON THE SIGHS HE WAS GIVING HER!!! He kissed her neck and all this stuff and she seriously didn't think that he didn't like her. Man even I'm not that clueless.
Keenan was just in the way really, that's what it felt like most of the time. No one really got angry. It would have been a better story if Keenan and Aislinn made out and then she gets pissed, and then Seth and Aislinn had a fight. There should have been more conflict in this book. And I don't mean violence, but this book felt like everyone, but the antagonist, was in a Zen mode. It was as if I was reading this book through a muted lens. The concept was pretty good, (considering I don't really like fairies.) but the plot was lacking, and the characters were dry, only showing one or two qualities. It all seemed a little cliché despite the ending. A muted lens is a best I can describe it. Don't think I'm going to be continuing with this series, whatever. It helped me out of my reading slump.
