4 How Should I Read The Wicked Lovely Series?.I'm definitely continuing with this series because I'm excited to see what comes next. The characters are all nicely drawn, and I like the spin on the fairy world (traditional yet also new), and I love the new take on the love triangle trope, with a nice, strong female lead who calls some pretty great shots.

I love urban-ish fantasy involving dangerous fairies, so this one was right up my street. When she discovers that one of them is the Summer King and he has chosen her to be his queen, her world gets even more complicated than it is already. It's uncomfortable, but she manages, until two of the fairies start following her, day after day. So she lives her life pretending as best she can that she doesn't see the horror all around her all the time. If they should ever find out that Aislinn can see them, it would be bad.

It isn't the fun parlor trick it may seem, though, because fairies are *everywhere* and completely dangerous. Except that she can see fairies, just like her mother and her grandmother before her. Aislinn is a normal high school senior, does well in school and stays out of trouble, obeys her grandmother (who has raised her since her mother died).
