Short description/summary of the book: (taken from amazon.com):
Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty-especially if they learn of her Sight-and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.
Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.
Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.
Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.
But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost-regardless of her plans or desires.
Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.
Faerie intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning 21st century faery tale.
My Thoughts: I was surprisingly disappointed with this book. It just seemed like a combination of Twilight (which I really like) with the Narnia series (which I don't really care that much for.) The story was mildly entertaining, but as the story progressed, I continued to lose interest in it. I was glad that I checked this book out of the library instead of purchasing it.
Books read this year: 33/50. I'm 66% done!!!
Next read(s): Never Let Me Go byKazuo Ishiguro, The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer, and Leonardo's Shadow by Christopher Grey.
