I had
been meaning to read this series by Melissa Marr for quite some time
before I actually picked up the book. I'd been seeing the series pop up
numerous times on various different review blogs/sites. Plus, they had
cool cover art, which, of course, totally drew me in. I picked up the
first book, Wicked Lovely, while I was house-sitting, and finished within a few hours (usually a sign that I enjoy it).

I enjoyed the book, and have since finished the sequel (Ink Exchange). I
guess what I enjoyed most was the simple fact that the relationships
weren't clichÃ©. I can't really go in-depth with that comment without
giving away any spoilers, but I'll just say that the relationships
seemed very natural/realistic, which is rare in stories involving
magic/faeries. In my opinion, the only thing that could have made the
book better would have been a little more background on Aislinn's
parents. We do get some small tidbits of information, but I was left
wondering more about them, and how her grandmother knew about faeries.
I'm hoping more will be revealed in the third installment (Fragile Eternity) that can answer that question.
