Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy, Faerie, Wicked Lovely
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Hunger for nourishment. Hunger for touch. Hunger to belong. Half-human and half-faery, Ani is driven by her hungers. Those same appetites also attract powerful enemies and uncertain allies, including Devlin. He was created as an assassin and is brother to the faeries' coolly logical High Queen and to her chaotic twin, the embodiment of War. Devlin wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, knowing that if he fails, he will be the instrument of Ani's death. Ani isn't one to be guarded while others fight battles for her, though. She has the courage to protect herself and the ability to alter Devlin's plans—and his life. The two are drawn together, each with reason to fear the other and to fear for one another. But as they grow closer, a larger threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will saving the faery realm mean losing each other?

This is the fourth book in the Wicked Lovely series. Ani is much more than she seems and very few people know. Devlin was sent to kill her years ago but had made a promise not to. Now the two are going to have to make some drastic decisions. As they work together things that they thought get turned on their head. And if they don’t hurry Faerie will be no more. Of all the books so far I have to say this is my favorite. I loved Ani she is such a great character. When we see in this book you find so much more depth. Devlin who you’re not at all sure what he is up to keeps you on your toes the whole way through the story. This is a brilliant story and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series, Darkest Mercy.

Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy, Faerie, Tales of Faery
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Back Cover: Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone – but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he’d ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen. Aislinn never expected to rule very creatures who’d always terrified her – but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she’d ever imagined.

This is the third book in the Wicked Lovely series.
I have to say I love Melissa’s writings style. Like the other two books in her Tales of Faery, this just shows you a new side. We get to meet the fourth court, the one that actually is in Faerie. This Queen is not like any that we have seen. She is both strong and yet has a sweet side. Seth’’s decision to become a Faery wasn’t all that shocking. His love for Aislinn shows through time and again. I am interested where this is going as Keenan has just made a mess of everything with all those who at sometime loved him. 
I can’t wait to read more in, Darkest Mercy.
