Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

I read Wicked Lovely awhile back. I have Ink Exchange and Fragile Eternity, but for some reason, I can't get to read them. I love to hear what others think about these books. Maybe it will motivate me to read the rest.

I really loved all three books. I just ate up Fragile Eternity and am dying for the next one already. These are great to show what I think of as the true side of faerie... where things are not all pretty and wonderful and very inhumane.

Kristen, it's been over a year since I have read Wicked Lovely, do you think I should re-read it? I don't remember much of it.

Yeah, I would suggest it. Although, what I sometimes do is just scan through or at least read the last ten pages or so. I did that for Cassandra Clare's trilogy when the third book came out.

I've actually had Wicked Lovely for over a year and I'm just now reading it. I tried reading it before, but I had such a hard time. But it got easier for me and I'm liking it! And I just saw that its a signed copy : )

Oooo! How'd you manage that!?

I love the writing, but the characters aren't my favorite. There are many plot holes. I'm half way through Wicked Lovely.

I keep trying to pick this up, either for myself or my sister, when I wander through WalMart (gift cards), but they never have the first one in. I hate it when book stores do that.

Ughhh, I so want to like this book! But for some reason, I just cannot connect with these characters. I don't know why. :-(

I finally finished it today or rather yesterday (its 1 in the morning here) but anyways it took me three times to finally get into the book, but once I got through the first few chapters I ended up loving it...I can't wait to read the next one : )

Oh, and the whole time I read it I wanted a cup of oolong tea...I still want some : )

I finished this on Sunday. It's not one of my favorite books which is disappointing. I really had high hopes. I thought the storyline was a creative idea. I just never connected with the main character. I wanted to learn more about Donia. It was still a good book and I loved how it came together at the end. It made me want to read Ink Exchange.

I loved Wicked Lovely. I actually liked Ink Exchange better, but that's because I have a thing for "ink." I read both of them on cd, and the narrator was just wonderful. I haven't read Fragile Eternity yet. We don't have it at the library. :(

I read Ink Exchange first, not knowing it was part of a series. I am definitely going to read Wicked Lovely and Fragile Eternity. I might even re-read Ink Exchange, so that I read all 3 in the order it should be.... Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, then Fragile Eternity, right? Or is Ink Exchange last?

yeah, I read Wicked Lovely last week and really enjoyed it...it has the "Twilight-ish Addictive Book Crack" thing going for it.

How DO you pronounce Aislinn? I thought it was Ays-Lynn but her nickname is Ash.....sooooo....???

I knew a girl named Ainsley (Ayns-lee) so I assumed Aislinn was Ays-Lynn but the nickname threw me off. It would be like nicknaming me Nik (Nikki) instead of Nat for Natalee. :-D

It's Irish and its pronounced "ashlynn" or "ashleen" (or with more of a z emphasis, "azh"...) And even though I knew that going in, it still threw me a little.

I really enjoyed "Wicked Lovely." It was neat to see an alternate view on fairies.

I love all 5 books in this series!
