Excellent well written YA series known as the Modern Faerie Tales
Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms - a struggle that could very well mean her death.
I really enjoyed the edgy rather wildyoung characters,certainly no paragons of virtue.The details about the faerie courts and the tricky dangerous and often cruel rulers there is spot on.Great descriptions of the courts,and intricate plots that dont compromise on the fact that the audience is YA. Read for my Faerie Mythology challenge.Good exciting fun with an edge to it.,and some sexual content,eg homosexuality,which could offend some.
