Rule #3: Don’t stare at invisible faeries.
Aislinn has permanently seen faeries. Powerful and treacherous, 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 additional 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 worried 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. Lacking 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 effective anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.

I was really shocked to see this book listed under “Children”. I had to double check where I got it from. I thought the sexual content and f-bombs were inappropriate in a “childrens” book. I agree the sex wasn’t graphic, but suggestive. I would not want my pre-teen reading this. I would assume most mother’s want their children, or girls, to abstain from sex before marriage, and felt the morals of the characters were missing.

*WARNING – SPOILERS*
I loved the title, loved that it was free for kindle2 and immediately loved that the plot was fantastically original! But, the book built and built and built. Drama, chaos, madness, intensity, angst, suspense. I had it all! Is she the Summer Queen? What will take place when she takes the staff? Will her loved ones be ok? Will she get what she wants? What will become of the Winter Girl? How will they defeat the Winter Queen? Oh the questions were building in my head and I was reading voraciously like a wild animal, half-starved and being taunted with tid-bits of meat and wanting more, more more and THEN….!
It was over. For all the skill this writer has at weaving a excellent tell and bringing emotional and psychological interest to her characters and her plot … you get to the top of the mountain prepared for the wonderful climax that all books should have and it just fell completely flat on top, hence the title of my review.
Her writing up to the last minute was SO excellent I would have easily agreed this book 5 stars had I reviewed it yesterday before finishing it last night but it was just so cruelly disappointing that it made me want to weep. The choice for the main character to take the dreaded test was dramatic enough but when the heroin really took it the scene was rushed, poorly described, hard to picture and choppy. All of a sudden the staff was in her hand and I had to really go back and re-read the last few paragraphs trying to figure out how it got there … like a name had cut a HUGE chunk from the chapter and gave me the skeleton to read as a replacement for. For all the building and waiting it was over and chose far too quickly.
The final battle against the Winter Queen wasn’t really even much of a battle. For all the talk of terrible power beyond imagining throughout the book the attacks on one another by the characters were repetitive, minimal and had already been done earlier in the novel. When you read a climactic fight scene between two ultimately powerful sides of what was set up to be an epic battle … the last thing you want to find out is that both sides used up their playbooks and were left with nothing unique or exciting up their sleeves. And this part, by the way, was over in a flash as well. It was barely even a battle! It was like watching two lions attack a Poodle. Sure the poodle fought back but it never had a chance and it didn’t take long for the poodle to lose.
Then there is the part of the book where the leader permanently cleans up the loose ends left over after the climax, every book has it. I call it the “wind-down” chapter where injured characters will announce that they’re going to be alright, small quarrels are resolved, apologies and forgiveness is made and the pleased ever after is painted. In this book, again, it was SUPER CHOPPY. It was as though a name had dropped this manuscript on the way to the printing press and a handful of pages were left under the water cooler on manufacturing accident. I’m not sure if this writer just didn’t really know how she wanted to end it (the alternate endings and cut scenes establish in the bonus material make it clear she didn’t have a strong perspective on her own tale) or if she simply ran out of steam and “muse”. Maybe the editors are reliable for hacking it to bits, that is permanently possible but I just feel that if a writer makes a wonderful climax and “wind-down” there wouldn’t be any reason for the editors to go all Hannibal Lecter on it. I still liked the overall tale, YES IT WAS UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL AND REFRESHING! But overall I finished it with a rushed sense of disappointment.

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr was an intriguing read that kept me hooked to the last page. This novel about an average girl caught in between such non-average situations is intriguing; add in a dose of high-tension and full-passion like, Wicked Lovely leaves a refined, lasting impression. I loved the tenacity of Aislinn as she tries to escape her destiny, and in the end, makes her destiny fit to her. Also, the romantic aspect of the tale made it wonderful, because every girl experiences having to choose between what she wants and what fate throws at her.

I had wanted to read this book for reasonably awhile and when it became free for my Kindle with bonus material… how could I loose???
The tale is well written and the characters are well developed. It is basically about a girl who can see fairies, who are normally very mean to humans. When a royal fairy sees her, he wants to aver her as his own. Together they can take over and banish the winter queen (his mother). She is unsure what to do as she had permanently been told to snub the fairies. The summer king won’t let it go, so she is forced to make a choice which will change her life forever.
Very excellent read.

Wicked Lovely is a unique tale that revolves around fairies and persons who can see them. Melissa Marr introduces readers to the world of one of the most depicted and symbolic facts in literature and folklore that have usually been shown as delightful, gorgeous, and delicate. But, Marr shows another side of these creatures that still possess the mythical and medieval quality but with a twist – mortality and immortality faced head on.
Indeed, the main characters that comprise the book, Aislinn, Seth, and Keenan provide an understanding of these major aspects that both challenges each character and the reader alike.
The characters make the tale lively and as the title suggests, the wickedness and the loveliness that are key parts of the ingredients of Marr’s narrative. Loveliness, in terms of the relationships that exist and renovate throughout the storyline, and one that obviously involves a like triangle between the three main characters that is undeniable. Wickedness, the complexities that are encountered, especially between Aislinn and Keenan, where hierarchical fundamentals come into play that center upon, like, power, and choice; Keenan attempts to woo, preferably court, Aislinn into the world of the fairies and to serve as his Summer Queen. But being a mortal, Aislinn faces a lifetime choice where once turned as a fairy, there is no turning back, and she forever is indebted to immortality. As she meets this challenge, her heart is also with Seth, who happens to be doing research about fairies, which contributes to resilience to Keenan’s wishes.
Although Wicked Lovely starts off slow, as one proceeds to read each passage, the tale starts to erect and erect. It is during the middle of the novel that will catch readers by surprise and want to continue to read on, especially as the climactic parts emerge. Overall, the book may appeal to persons who are curious or delight in a fantasy.
