Finished Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr for the New Author Challenge.
Another YA supernatural book. This one deals with faeries (and you should know that I roll my eyes every time I have to type it that way--faeries? REALLY?). A girl named Aisleen can see them and so she goes through her life pretending she can't (because faeries do not like being seen). Unfortunately, now the faery king is in love with her, which means she has to make a choice: attempt to become his queen or become a summer girl, but either way her mortal life is pretty much done.
(If she chooses the first option, she runs the risk of not actually being the queen, which means she'd be living a sort of half-life until the next person chooses to try. If she picks door #2, she'll be a lot happier, but she will be in love with Keenan--the faery--and he'll never love her back. Ever.)
Entertaining book. I'm going to read the sequel next, I think.

Also, if you liked it (and it sounds good), you should definitely put that Holly Black trilogy on the list.
Since pretentious authors decided "fairy" connoted flaming gay men or babyish tales for children?
I have no idea.
But yeah, I will look for those books. :)
