The Blurb On The Back:

Rule 3: Don’t stare at invisible faeries.

Aislinn has always seen faeries, although they would certainly blind her if they knew of her Sight. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in the mortal world.

Rule 2: Don’t speak to invisible faeries.

But now faeries are stalking her. One of them, a beautiful boy named Keenan, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.

Rule 1: Don’t ever attract their attention.

Now it’s too late. Keenan is the Summer King and 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 ...

The Verdict:

Melissa Marr writes well and maintains pace. I was interested in her main characters and in particular, the love triangle element that is drawn out in the story. The story itself is slighter than I’d hoped and as a reader, I would have really liked to see more time given to setting up the background history relating to Beria and what her motivations are as the lack of this left her a little flatter than the author perhaps intended. However, there are some very good set-pieces within the text (the carnival being a particular favourite) and the ending showed that Marr is not interested in conventional endings. I am interested in reading more of this author and look forward to the next book in this series.
