Wings series by Aprilynne Pike
Laurel discovers she is a faerie, sent among humans to protect the gateway to Avalon. Thrust into the midst of a centuries-old battle between faeries and trolls, she's torn between a human and a faerie love, as well as her loyalties to each world. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.
Ok, right now I am currently reading the mortal instruments series, and loving it. I'm going to do a collective review at the end of the series.
But I also kinda felt like a bad blogger because I haven't put a new post in forever. So I'm doing this one from a series I read a while ago. It's not going to be as accurate as if I just read it.
I love these books. Like, seriously. The series isn't even done yet, there's still one more book :))) They aren't my favorite, but they are in the top 50. The books are about faires, and I know you're probably thinking "Oh great, more farie books." But seriously, these are good farie books. I love her best friend, and I think you would too. I also love the love triangle, and I can so not predict what side you would be (so if you do read these books, please comment!!). I only had one problem, was that the second book (I think if I remember correctly) started very slowly but got better, much better
The book names are Wings, Spells, and Illusions. And, may I just say, the series is almost complete! Just one more amazing book!

Matched and Crossed by Ally Condie
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
I truly love these books. I swear, I'll have to read a book I won't like so you guys won't think I like everything with words on it. Well, anyays...
Matched: I've actually read this book 2 or 3 times. I really like it, and it's my favorite out of two (it's eventually going to be a trilogy, EEP!) Anyone who likes Hunger Games will like this book. It's kind of the same idea of a tyrannical, ,controlling goverment. Just the idea of it, it definetly gets you thinking. The details are really amazing, and it flows like it's poetry, (and might I say I love poetry, or anything that sounds remotly like it.) It's not a "Lets go punch people in the face!" kind of book, but it defienetly has subtle drama, and some not-so-subtle drama. I really enjoy this book, and things just keep popping around the corners during it.
five star
Crossed: OK, I'll say it, this one doesn't have as much subtle drama. This one is much punchy than the last.It really starts right back off at the jaw dropping ending of the last one. I must say that this one just confused me emotionally, I couldn't decide how to feel about the people. It's not confusing, but it confuses you. Once I was done, and walked all the way upstairs, I realized I missed something and ran back up there tearing the book open, which is a good sign for the quality of the book, less for the quality of my brain. Can't wait for the next one
