REVIEW: Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

1. Wicked Lovely
2. Ink Exchange
3. Fragile Eternity
4. Radiant Shadows
5. Darkest Mercy
 
The Enchanting first novel in the best selling series, Wicked Lovely is a novel that captures you and takes you away with the fairies.

Aislinn has always seen faeries. She has always lived by the three rules:

RULE 3: Never stare at Invisible faeries.
RULE 2: Never speak to Invisible faeries.
RULE 1: Don't ever attract their attention.

But these rules alter dramatically when a faerie pursues Aislinn. Disguised as human and oddly trying to become part of her life, can Aislinn keep her secrets, fall in love and make the right choices?

I love this book. I am smitten, Wicked Lovely is definitely high up in my top 10.

The way the Marr writes has the characters leaping off the page, playing out the scenes in front of your eyes. The characters are skilfully written, making them believable and life-like; their personalities similar to those of people you might know.
The plot itself is filled with twists and turns that retain your attention to the last page and after, the wrting leaving you wanting more.
I highly recommend Wicked Lovely for teenage girls aged 13-16.

I Can't wait to read the next book, INK EXCHANGE

Trailer for Wicked Lovely

I'm looking forward to..

I am really looking to this new book by author Meg Cabot: Check it out!

I think it sounds really good, tell me what you think.


She knows what it's like to die. Now Death wants her back.

Seventeen-year-old Pierce knows what happens to us when we die.
That's how she met John Hayden, the mysterious stranger who's made returning to normal life—or at least life as Pierce knew it before the accident—next to impossible.
Though she thought she escaped him—starting a new school in a whole new place—it turns out she was wrong. He finds her.
What does John want from her? Pierce thinks she knows... just like she knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven. But she can't stay away from him, either, especially since he's always there when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.
But if she lets herself fall any further, she might find herself back in the place she fears the most.
And when Pierce discovers the shocking truth, that’s exactly where John sweeps her.

REVIEW: Matched by Ally Condie

The debut novel of author Ally condie, Matched is the first book in her futuristic trilogy.


On her seventeenth birthday, Cassia Reyes attends her Match Banquet, where 'the society' announces who she must marry when she turns twenty-one. Cassia is thrilled with her match. But something goes wrong, and that is when Cassia starts to fall in love with another guy who's not her match. Forced to follow the rules, ominous warnings trouble Cassia. She's watched by society, trapped by rules; but can Cassia be freed by love?


At the beginning of the novel, I found that Matched was a bit slow-moving, but after a few chapters, I felt intrigued as to what was going to happen.

The writing style is one that is easy to understand, gives clear descriptions of characters, settings, and uses simple language.

Personally, I found the plot fairly predictable, but this may not be the case for some, and don't let this put you off as I still found this book enjoyable.
It was a cute concept, but I think that it needed a bit more of a punch to it for it to gain that 'special something'. You know: that character, that plot twist.

An intriguing concept and I can see how people have been raving about it. I don't mean to sound like a Grinch, I thought it was a decent read, but I found it reminiscent of some great novels that I have read, but not quite coming up to the bar.

I'm interested to see where Condie takes the rest of the trilogy, and if you can look past the slight predictability, then I recommend this if you're 13-16 years old, most likely females will enjoy this semi-dystopian age old love story of forbidden love and the cost.
