Synopsis from jacket:
Laurel was mesmerized staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautiful – too beautiful for words.
Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked like wings.
In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.
Laurel has always been different. She eats only certain foods not because she chooses to be picky but because some foods make her physically ill. She can’t remember a time when she ever went to the doctor, and when her friend David asks her if she ever remembers bleeding, she can’t think of a time.
Things become much more complicated when she notices a bump on the middle of her back that she quickly realizes isn’t going away, in fact, it is getting bigger! This strange bump blooms one day, and Laurel is left to face a world she never knew existed … or maybe forgot existed.
Was it Worth My Time?
Kind of. The plot line is fantastic and imaginative; many of my fantasy readers would love the book. The beauty and details of the story are encompassing.
What Bothered Me?
I felt like Pike spent too much time on setting the story up. It wasn’t until more than half-way through the book that some action really started. It was boring at times, and I don’t know if it would hold some of my impatient readers.
