Wicked Lovely

I give up.I just can t take it When your back starts to hurt because you re trying to drag your eyes across the heavy pages of a non event insipid book like this one, it s time to call it quits Like, forever.I don t know how many times, while I was reading this, that I ended up staring into space and only realizing that I was after ten or so minutes had passed and the book fell out of my hand I was so uninterested in this story that I began to daydream about exponentials and I started to notice [...]

2 7 18 ON SALE for 3.99 amzn 2xKCD3QReviewed by Rabid Reads3.5 starsThe first time I read WICKED LOVELY by Melissa Marr I did not like it It was too dark I was too young to catch the deeper connotations that Marr was communicating If it hadn t been published in that weird in between time when I was pretty current on all the interesting series in my preferred genres and therefore desperate for reading material , I probably never would ve read the second book But it was, and I did And it remains [...]

Readable but bland.Most of my dissatisfaction with this book stems from the fact that what passes for a plot with Wicked Lovely would have been used as a sub plot in any other It can be summarised like this KEENAN gives Aislinn a choice between two options AISLINN flees SETH waits for Aislinn KEENAN waits for Aislinn DONIA waits for Aislinn BEIRA issues occasional Ursula like threats AISLINN AISLINN AISLINN makes choice BOOK ends So the entire book revolves around Aislinn, which could have been [...]

I liked this book a lot than I thought I would I mean, usually when a book is hyped up a lot my immediate reaction is to roll my eyes and wonder if it s worth the hype I didn t start reading the Harry Potter series until the third one was already out and then I read them all in one sitting So, I m a book cynic and was worried that I would mind trash this baby Ok, first of all the most gorgeous cover ever Provocative, beautiful, and well, well done Harper Collins Here s the thing about the writi [...]

Oy vie What a horrible book I decided to change it s title to Beautiful and Vapid Hormones Melissa Marr held so much promise for a feisty female protagonist, willing to fight the allure of immortal beauty and power for our mundane yet necessary mortality Sadly, Aislinn the main character faded into nothingness in the last few chapters It seemed as though Marr couldn t sacrifice either of the two worlds for her Aislinn and so gave her both, which in my opinion, gives her nothing Life demands sacr [...]

People tell me I have a short attention span They mention, on some rare occasions, that I tend to space out easily That one moment I ll be listening and paying attention and the next moment Oh sparkly With that I m lost It s amazing how many teachers have been the ones to remind me of my poor ability to pay attention Remarkable reallyWhat was I saying Oh yeah So it takes a little bit to capture my attention and to keep it Usually an abnormal amount of sex, violence or suspense will do the trick [...]

Well guys, for over a year I had a review of this I gave this book 1 star, so to say the least, my review was not positive But see, I got tired of constantly having to delete all the troll screaming comments, so I ultimately removed the review.The reason I didn t like this book is because it was one of the first YA titles I ever read, and I was really put off by the content That s my prerogative I know that probably sounds like a revolutionary concept, but whatever.If you are curious about the b [...]

Aislinn has always followed the rules Her Grandmother has drilled them into her since she was a young child Don t stare at invisible faeries Don t speak to invisible faeries Don t ever attract faeries attention Aislinn has developed the skill to ignore them She walks passed them without flinching even when the faeries are pinching or touching others around her like they love to do Faeries come in many shapes and sizes and Aislinn has seen them all She s seen them in the glamours they wear in ord [...]

I don t even know what to say This has been the first book that I ve thrown across the room and felt extremely happy about it Needless to say, I absolutely despised it The beginning was a wonderful solid four starsd then the ending came SPOILERS Wicked Lovely is the story about a 17 year old girl who s had the Sight her entire life Aislinn lives in fear every day of attracting the attention of any faerie, only to have it all come crashing down when the Summer King, Keenan, claims her as the next [...]

So I was expecting to read a nice YA book, but let me tell you this book was so good that I read it in 6 hours without stoping I loved all the characters and the way everything developed Specially the end I really liked how the author gave a smart solution to every problem.I really enjoyed to read something different from all the books that are out there Wicked lovely is a nice, refreshing and original story Ash is a great heroine, with one of the best personalities I ve seen and Seth is the swe [...]

I loved the premise of this book and invisible world of faeries that are about as unlike Tinkerbell as you can get Unfortunately, the dropped plot lines and somewhat flat nature of the supporting characters was disappointing The faeries in this story are spiteful, cruel, and yes, wickedly beautiful Aislin, the star of this urban fantasy, is a junior in high school with the unusual ability to see the faeries no one else can She has been tortured by this knowledge her entire life and has been taug [...]

As much as I found interesting the fact that this had a dark vibe going on the entire time, I must say that I was completely let down by the writing I don t know if it is because it s the author s first book but I guess that must be it The story was equal parts intriguing and confusing, so I have mixed feelings about this entire book I struggled giving a rating to this I wasn t sure if it deserved 3 stars or 2 but I ll say that I m somewhere in between Aislinn is a mortal, she has the Sight, whi [...]

Wicked Lovely is a story of Aislinn, a teenage girl who has a rare ability to see faeries This gift curse troubles her, mostly because the fae world is cruel and ugly For a long time she manages to hide this ability and stay unnoticed, but suddenly she finds herself a center of fae attention We very quickly learn that Aislinn is chosen to have a special place in the faery worldOnce again a book so popular and trendy and such a favorite of many of my friends, disappointed me But first the positiv [...]

Where do I startThis book had me from the very moment I started reading I just knew it would be something out of the ordinary.17 year old Aislinn how to pronounce that name , or Ash , is not like other girls She can see fairies And not good fairies, fairies that fight and do all kinds of bad stuff She s learned how to control herself, how to not seem scared and to not start running as they approach that only triggers them The fairies doesn t know about her unusual talent And she is determined fo [...]

Are there any books on your to read list that you ve been consciously or unconsciously avoiding because people keep harassing you to read them Then, when you read them, do you kick yourself for being so stubborn On one hand, I m really happy I waited to read this book, because the third and final Edit No, there s a book 4, at least book just came out, so no waiting for me On the other hand WHAT WAS I WAITING FOR This book was AWESOME I don t know that I was avoiding it because of what other peop [...]

The one where Aislinn can see faeries that no one else can see, and they re awful But the young Summer King, Keenan srsly, Keenan , wants her to be his queen, and if things go wrong, they re going to go very wrong.I described this book to someone as like mediocre fanfiction, and now I m trying to pin down exactly what that means First, of course, it means the book is quite self indulgent when it comes to everyone being Special and having special names and special facial piercings and special ecl [...]

Maybe it was because I d just finished reading Holly Black s Valiant and Ironside, two of my favorite books in this genre, but I really did not think very highly of Wicked Lovely Compared with Black s books, I found this one to be badly paced, full of one dimensional, undeveloped characters and lacking a lot of detail Aislinn is rather whiny and unremarkable, with no defining characteristics except for the Sight, so it s hard to see why everyone loves her so much Her friends are completely flat [...]

Quick review for a quick re read I read this book for the first time many years ago, and I remember it being one that stood out not only for its striking cover, but for being a YA urban fantasy title with dark imagery in the presentation of the world of the fey Yet, even with Melissa Marr s writing being mostly clear cut in the presentation of the world as well as the emotions of the different characters this tale revolved around, I found my re reading of it having than a few points of irritati [...]

Finally A YA paranormal romance that breaks the pattern I was very concerned that the dark haired mortal guy would lose to the light and shiny haired supernatural guy But he didn t While the descriptions of Seth s various piercings made me cringe sorry, I m just not into that , he is a wonderful character Sweet, intelligent, loyal, patient, brave Okay, yes, he does have some wild history but he s put that aside for Aislinn, so kudos to him Aislinn doesn t instantly fall for the supernatural guy [...]

This book was very unique, not the usual YA formula It is a tad darker than most YA faerie tales, although not nearly as dark as Holly Black s faerie series I really enjoyed the story, lots of twists and turns and I never would have guessed the ending But I think the most unusual thing about the whole book was the fact that the main guy was not the main girl s love interest That is usually how it goes If there is a main guy and a main girl, they fall in love If they dont, its usually because its [...]

Wicked Lovely has become my favorite faerie tale of all time I loved this story, it was enchanting, heartfelt, thrilling and absolutely beautiful Marr s character and story development is exceptional The way she writes about Keenan and Seth, two characters who are fighting for opposite needs wants, is skillful I found myself rooting for both, which is something I don t think I ve ever done I usually pick one character and root for them all the way through Not the case with Wicked Lovely It was a [...]

MICHELLE S REVIEW RATING 4 SETH STARS This was my first major foray into the world of Faeries I have read Lament and Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater This series of books is like mind blowing on the Faerie courts and laws Wicked Lovely the first book I think is the easiest to read They are wonderful books but perservere as the laws are detailed sometimesbut once you get the hang of it you are good to go Each book cover represents the female character 1 book is Aislinn, 2 Leslie.d so on I shant give i [...]

I want to start off by saying I have always loved this book It was one of the very first books I read outside school It s wonderful and entertaining Though, it is slightly rushed in some areas The ending would ve been better if it had, well, The final showdown with The Winter Queen seemed far too easy I still love Seth so much That will never change If he was a real person I d run away with him 3Donia happened to be my favorite character this time around while before it was Aislinn The later wa [...]

3.5 Need some Summer StarsEhhh was OK but not a book which captivated me I enjoyed the different twist to the fantasy but found it very hard to connect with the characters I think after this oneI m gonna quit while I m ahead So, I m not saying that I hated or disliked the book, it s just one that won t stay in my memories for very long.

Lovely covers in this series Just fantastic It surprised me by being unpredictable and that is uncommon in YA Overall the story is an interesting and fun read.

I was intrigued by this book for three things the pretty cover, the nice title, and the fact that the back cover features a plug from Tamora Pierce Then I read the summary and learned that it was about fairies, and how they aren t just fun and games they can be scary, too Why not I decided to read it.It s about this chick named Aislinn kooky name, huh who can see fairies actually, the book spells it faery I guess Marr couldn t decide between fairy and faerie and so went middle of the road So, sh [...]

This book was captivating, from the beginning I was drawn in and interested to see what would happen next Don t worry if you are unfamiliar with the faery world like I was, Melissa Marr does a great job of introducing the reader to the faeries and we quickly learn that they are nothing like Tinkerbell The plot was interesting and kept me guessing up to the final twist near the end of the story that I truly didn t see coming I would recommend this semi dark young adult read to anyone that enjoyed [...]

I remember LOVING this book when I first read it and so I decided to reread it so I could finish out the series I ve read all but the final book Woww as awesome as I remember Still a fast fluffy read but there is little to no substance of plot and certainly not in character development, either This is a 2 star read at best bumped to a 3 for nostalgic purposes I will be finishing out the series because I m a glutton for punishment and I want to be able to say I finished itbut yikes This may not b [...]

I was so skeptical when I started this series, seriously Wicked Lovely sat on my TBR list for MONTHS I had heard mixed reviews about the WL series, everything from mind blowingly amazing to horrifically awful Sadly, it was just meh for me.On one hand the plot was fabstastic, the book as a whole was full of romance, suspense, excitement The whole nine yards WL totally had the makings of something great ButAislinn the heroine irritated the ever living bleeeeeping bleep out of me No joke dude, if s [...]
