Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

Wicked Lovely has been one of my favorite books for a while. It is the story of a girl, Aislinn, who's ordinary except that she can see faeries. Her best friend is Seth, but Seth is more interested in her than she knows. On the other hand, there's Keenan, a court faery and the Summer King.

Aislinn is propelled deeper into a world involving secrets of her past, a long war between summer and winter, and her own love life. There are a few unexpected twists, which are refreshing from all those predicable books.

My favorite thing about Wicked Lovely is that the characters are so believable even though over half of them aren't supposed to be mortal. It is easy to feel sympathy with a large number of the cast of characters except for those who are just pure evil. I grew so attached with these characters that I was so disappointed when the book was over, because I loved the story and wished it would continue.

Wicked Lovely was one of the best books to be published this year, no doubt. I would recommend it for fans of the Twilight series.
