Review in 75 Words or Less: Wings is an interesting twist on the faerie premise. Although I did not love this novel, I did not completely hate it either. For me, it ranks somewhere in the middle.

I'll be honest, when I started this book I didn't like it. More specifically, I didn't like Laurel. She was too perfect - and I hated that she knew it. I like my main characters to have some flaws - otherwise I can't relate to them all that well. After all, I'm not perfect... :) By the time I got to...

*grins* Hee hee. I kind of liked it. A lot. It was very addicting!! Sort of dumb and shallow, but very entertaining. I read it because I heard it was "Twilight with fairies" ...

Read second week of June(11th-15th), 2009Pros: I liked the idea of Laurel and the other faeries being plants.

Laurel is starting school for the first time and in high school no less. Everything about it seems wrong. Her years of homeschooling fit so well with her lifestyle. Being able to go outside to complete her studies and having meaningful conversations with her mother were perfect. Now, being coope...
