Warriors Kaleb and Aya will stop at nothing to destroy their competition. But when Kaleb finds his fate entwined with that of Mallory, a seventeen-year-old human girl, he can''t seem to separate the vicious Carnival contest he''s entered from his sudden devotion to her. He and Aya may be prizefighters from the otherworldly Untamed City, but his strange, obsessive connection makes staying away from the witch-ruled human world, and Mallory, harder every day. All Mallory knows of the Untamed City is what her elders have told her—that it''s full of debauchery and daimons looking to destroy her. But she knows she''s being pulled toward Kaleb with an emotion so fierce that it''s utterly foreign. The two are forced apart by Mallory''s overprotective witch father, stranded by necessity between warring populations that can''t coexist. But when The City''s ruler raises the stakes of the Carnival''s prize, there''s nothing Mallory, Kaleb, or Aya can do to stop the two worlds colliding. Mallory''s about to discover her true identity—and stumble into a fate she''d die to avoid. Fans of The Hunger Games will devour this tale of lush secrets, dark love, and the struggle to forge one''s own destiny from the bestselling author of Wicked Lovely, Melissa Marr. (Formerly published as Carnival of Souls)

"I am not a monster." Or at least that's what Eavan tells herself. Though Eve knows she is a Glaistig, and that hunger for sex and death -- preferably together -- runs in her blood, she is determined to keep herself human. She will turn full Glaistig only in the event that she engages in both sex and murder within one month -- and so far she's managed to avoid both. But staying away from temptation is harder than ever before. A mysterious man -- as seductive as he is dangerous -- has been drugging and taking advantage of girls in the local night clubs and Eve's determined to stop him, even as she's finding it increasingly difficult to control her warring instincts around him. When her grandmother calls in alluring mortal to watch over Eve, Eve may be pushed beyond her limits. Can Eve hang onto her mortality when Glaistig instincts run in her blood? Can she keep herself safe and human, both? Two lines are all that stand between who she is and who she wants to be . . . and Eve will need all her self-control not to cross them both.

Alana knows the legends of selchies, the sea-fey who leave their seal-like pelts behind when they walk on land, passing for humans. But she never imagined she would meet one—let alone two—on the night of an otherwise forgettable beach party.

He never expected that the meeting would be so complicated, or that an old rivalry would make winning Alana's trust—and love—so difficult.

Aislinn vive con la nonna in una cittadina della provincia americana. La sua vita assomiglia a quella di milioni di ragazze, se non fosse per un aspetto: ha il potere di vedere le fate. Fate malvagie che infestano la città, creature pagane, maliziose e lascive che si presentano in bande a fare dispetti, divertendosi alle spalle degli umani. Aislinn ha imparato a proteggersi da loro facendo finta di non vedere, seguendo i saggi consigli della nonna: non guardare le fate invisibili, non rivolgere loro la parola e, soprattutto, non attirare mai la loro attenzione. Ma quando alcuni esseri fatati cominciano a seguirla da vicino, le regole diventano impossibili da rispettare e lei confessa il suo segreto alla persona più cara che ha: Seth, diciotto anni, piercing e un vecchio vagone di un treno abbandonato come casa, un ragazzo verso cui prova sentimenti profondi che vanno al di là dell’amicizia. Il loro legame sarà messo a dura prova da Keenan, Re dell’Estate e guida del Regno Fatato, che vede in Aislinn la prescelta, destinata a diventare la compagna della sua vita. Per lei diventa sempre più difficile allontanarlo, resistere alla sua bellezza abbagliante, ignorare quella strana e calda alchimia che la scuote in ogni parte. Il cuore di Aislinn è diviso: dovrà fare la sua scelta, in un emozionante conflitto tra amore eterno e amore terreno.

The clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in this cool, urban 21st century faery tale.

At least Niall isn't present to tempt her, and their occasional phone conversations feel almost safe.

A balance that someone is threatening to break in order to hurt the new and former Dark Kings. Someone she knows all too well.
