Well, I just finished reading Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.

Back-of-Book Synopsis: Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world. When the rules that have kept Aislinn safe from them stop working, everything is suddenly on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything. Faery intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning twenty-first century faery tale.

I picked up the book in an attempt to see what passed for mainstream Young Adult fantasy lit these days, seeing as how I'm in the process of writing one and it's been a while since I picked one up that wasn't Twilight. And, if I'm honest, then the pretty cover may have also drawn me in. Anyway.

( My unspoilery review... )

For those of you reading this who read or write YA, ( I HAVE A VERY BIG IMPORTANT QUESTION about sexuality in YA fiction... )

Anyway, a decent enough book. 3 1/2 stars out of 5. (0 being Twilight and 5 being Annette Curtis Klaus' Blood and Chocolate.)
