Wicked Lovely (a.k.a.) I believe in Faeries

Wicked LovelyWicked Lovelyby Melissa MarrPoor Eclipse... I keep picking it up, reading a couple of chapters and then putting it down because I have discovered another book and I can't quite keep myself focused on the whinings of Bella. So after a lovely jaunt to the bookstore at lunch with Monkey, I have found other stories to occupy my brain.This is one of the books I found through Vicki Pettersson's site. She keeps plugging other authors and so my Amazon.ca wishlist is getting way too big. I'm going to have to win the lottery soon.I am less than a quarter into the book, but so far I am enjoying it. Aislinn is in her senior year at a Catholic Girls School (don't let that influence you as it's not really part of the story at all) and she sees faeries. She always has, as have her mother and grandmother before her.

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty—especially if they learn of her Sight—and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens. Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer. Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost—regardless of her plans or desires.Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.

I'll let you know how it all turns out...[This is one of only two books I bought today. Will probably buy more tomorrow when I go back with another friend. There's so much out there that I NEED! I suppose this is a much healthier addiction than say, drugs.]
