milko 's review for:
Wicked Lovely
by Melissa Marr
Aislinn is a girl who is normal in most aspects of her life except that she can see faeries. Not the cute little things that little girls dress up as but rather the human size, often cruel, dangerous yet beautiful creatures that wander around invisible to the normal human.
The Summer King has been following Aislinn with the intent of making her his Summer Queen. The Winter Queen will cheat to stop this using the Winter Girl as her pawn.
I enjoyed this book as a breath of fresh air from all the vampire romance novels around at the moment. The concept of the fey and people with the sight was rather unique although the execution of the plot not as unique as it could be.
I found myself hooked from start to end but where I'd anticipated that the dark lust, seduction and deception would continue... I was wrong. Towards the middle and end of the book the flat characters (there wasn't much development amongst them and they responded pretty predictably once you'd met them) and the plot lightened up. I'd expected a much more climatic ending and would have liked it better if there'd at least been some sacrifice on each of the Summer King and Queen's part. It was essentially a happy ending book and would make a great movie to rival anything from Disney.
I wanted to give it 4 stars and if the ending had been more dramatic I'd be more inclined to read the next in the series. For now, I'll only consider it if the books are on sale.
