Faerie

In my attempt to better familiarize myself with young adult books, I discovered and read Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series, about a teen named Aislinn who can see faeries and becomes deeply involved with their world. I admit I have a few biases when reading fantasy novels...I tend to compare them to Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings on the good side, and Twilight on the not-so-good side. (I am extremely picky about any stories that are fantasy or have supernatural/paranormal elements. When I find ones I like, I really like them, but I feel that it's a genre that, when not done well, is really not done well.) Marr's series is a very entertaining story, with some rather interesting characters and a very detailed setting that involves both the mortal and faerie worlds. I didn't like it as much as Harry Potter, but do think it is better than Twilight. If you're into this genre, it's worth a look.
