I second Dawn's recommendation. I agree that students who like Holly
Black's book will like this. I actually liked this a bit more (and I
liked them very much). For some reason, I was reminded of Stephenie
Meyer's Twilight and New Moon so I think that students who like those
books will also enjoy Wicked Lovely. Vampires/ Faeries - it's a logical
jump.

Subject: [LM_NET] New YA Fantasy Book Recommendation
I recently purchased and read a new book for my librar that I would
like to
endorse.
I am neither the author nor have I any ties to her.
The book is Wicked Lovely, by Melissa Marr.
11th grader Aislinn has inherited the ability to see the faeries that
walk
among us. Raised by her grandmother, she has learned the strict rules
to follow
to keep them from learning that she has the sight, to avoid their
cruelty.
1. Never Speak to invisible faeries.
2. Never Stare at Invisible faeries
3. Never attract their attention.
But it is too late. Aislinn has attracted the attention of Keenan,
the Summer
King. For centuries, he has sought his Summer Queen from among the
mortal
world. Not until he finds her will he finally have the power to defeat
the
Winter Queen, his cruel mother.
Keenan has set his sights on Aislinn. Her life, her future, and the
fact that
she is in love with Seth mean nothing to him.
Filled with lore and revelations of the faerie political structure,
the focus
of the story switched between Aislinn, Keenan, and Donia, who, 900
years ago,
was foolish enough to fall in love with Keenan. When she made the
choise to
take the test to see if she were his destined queen, she failed,
instead
becoming the Winter Girl, the servant of the Winter Queen. She will
not be
freed until another accepts the challenge.
If you like Holly Black's books, you will love Wicked Lovely
