Editorial Review: Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty—especially if they learn of her Sight—and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.
Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.
Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.
Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.
But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who 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—regardless of her plans or desires.
Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.
Faerie intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning 21st century faery tale.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Enjoyed it - 4 1/2 stars
I enjoyed this book! After over 100 reviews, there's not much more to say other than that.
Rating: - Flawed and Loving it
I was really excited about this novel when it first came out, but the hardback was too much money. So I waited for it in paperback, and became uninterested. The more I learned about the novel the more it sounded like a rip-off of Black's Tithe. After reading it I'm so glad I did.
Ok. First off I have to address the complaints about how dark the fairies are. For hardcore fairy fans that have done tons of research it's not shocking that the fairies are dark and gritty. For those who haven't ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointing.
It had potential, but flopped at the end. Also, it started slow and lame. There's little to no character development. It's not very well written. I would be really bothered if I knew my teenager was reading this book. There is good deal of inappropriate content that doesn't add to the story in any way and is not romantic despite its intention.
Rating: - A huge relief after the horror of reading Twilight
Although not perfect, Wicked Lovely was everything I ever wanted from Twilight and never got. Deliciously dark, it makes use of fairies as they exist in folklore. I was in love with fairies long before vampires. And we're not talking cutesy, pastel-colored, wish fulfilling tinkerbelles with wings and trailing pixie dust. We're talking fairies like Melissa Marr imagines them. Fey who use glamour to hide, seduce, torment and disguise their inhumanity.
The thing that I loved the best about Wicked ... Read More
Rating:  - Dark, Ugly and No Good. No stars deserved
I picked this book up at the bookstore on the recommendation of my teen aged clerk, who said that if I liked "Twilight" I would love this. Since I enjoyed Twilight and was looking forward to a good read. There are so many flaws in this book, you just need to read the other critical reviews posted here on Amazon. The writing is just awful. Where was the editor to catch all the grammatical errors? Where was the editor to tell the author that her characters were awkwardly constructed, story line inconsistent ... Read More
