So I just finished reading two young adult book by the name of Wings and Spells. The author, Aprilynn Pike, has done an amazing job with these books. There will be four books in this series and I can't wait till the next book comes out.
So this story is about a girl named Laurel. While growing up, Laurel always felt different from everyone around her. Once she gets into high school, the differences become more salient. She can't stand being inside classrooms for too long because she has this need to be in sunlight. Also, her diet is unusual in the sense that she only eats fruit, lettuce and sprite. One day she notices a bump on her back. It gets bigger and bigger over the next few days until one morning she feels a flower petal sprouting out of the bump. The petal becomes bigger until it starts to resemble wings. Laurel hides her petal from everyone around her except her good friends David. He is very supportive and eventually they start dating. One day she goes back to the house she used to live in. While walking through the forest, she meets this strange guy named Tamani. It just so happens, that Tamani knows what Laurel really is: a faerie. Laurel tries to learn everything about the Faerie world through Tamani. Her and Tamani start to get closer and a love triangle starts to form. Both David and Tamani have to help her in the end when her dad is in danger from a group of trolls. The ending is full of action.
Spells picks up where Wings left off. The love triangle between David and Tamani gets stronger. Towards the end of the book, Laurel has to decide between the two of them, but it is so much more than just choosing between two guys. She has to choose between living in the faerie world or living only in the human world. She finds that she can't handle straddling the line between both worlds anymore. This book is truly entertaining to read. While David is very sweet and personable, Tamani is mysterious, handsome, and completely devoted to Laurel. I, personally, am a Team Tamani fan :) The ending of Spells is a huge cliff hanger! It makes you want the next book immediately!
These books are definitely worth your time and I totally think you all should read them :) 5/5 stars.
