Personally, this book takes you not only through a fantasy, but also through harsh reality. Not so much in WL, as in Ink Exchange. But none the less, if you ARENT a teen. You wouldn’t fully understand. I’m not hating on twilight, but Bella was a seemingly boring character with little complex elements. Aislinn’s character is so different, I constantly found myself relating to her. There is a bit of sexual tension in the book between Seth and Aislinn. Which makes a whole hell of a lot of sense, and I enjoyed it. You can’t complain about YA novel’s having sexual content in it. Reality check? Most teens are thinking about sex. Not all of them are doing it, but it is something more widely accepted now a days. It makes for a good read. I’m sorry, it just does. Violence as well. Giving teen’s a simple novel, with no harsh elements wouldn’t be anything close to reality. They couldn’t relate. I think it was wonderfully done. I’m a writer myself, and I’m constantly looking back at Wicked Lovely.

Very unique and well written. :)

I would just like to say that I am fine with my children reading about sex. We all obviously know it is a part of life for teens.(whether we want to or not)And Instead of giving the impression that sex is a horrible and totally wrong thing to do. I think It is better when you give a positive impression. Because how are they going to feel when they finally do have sex????? (it will happen) Are they going to feel like they just did this horrible act that needs punishment, or that they made the right choice?
I think erotic,highly detailed sexual content is not very appropriate. But I would rather my daughter know about sex and how to do it right at a young age,because they are having sex at young ages so,I just think it is fine when they are giving positive impressions about it. A book I read last night talked about the girl crying and shaking after sex. What message does that get across?????

I really really really loved this book, I have already read it 2 times, and it was not boring at all…my favorite characters are Seth and Aislinn, I like their way of thinking, I also like Donia, I think she is like a great friend who in the end helps Aislinn.
I also think they should do a movie, it would be awesome, maybe it’s a bit difficult but it would sell a lot haha.
If you read this Melissa, I just want to tell you that I love how you write and also the great imagination you have, I would love to read other books you write, but first I have to finish the Wicked Lovely series haha. So, if you write any other book please let us know I would LOVE it!!
Bye everyone =^_^=

To answer someof the questions above if they werent already answered; yes there is a sequel but you would probably have to read a related but not directly related book in the series first which would be ‘Ink Exchange” the sequel however is called “Fragile Eternity”

and overall as a series i loved it; the way that the series was kind of shafted at the end.. not so much of a fan… the author could have easily produced a third in the series to make all ends meet, but it was left as an open epilogue that hints at the near future but seeing as how it is the epilogue pretty much says the series is done for.

ok, so im a teenager that loves to read, and i absolutely loved this book.
ive been reading alot of these reviews and i would like to say some things.
some of these reviews have been complaining about the age difference between Aislinn and Keenan. well its not much different from the twilight series is it?
because Edward and Bella have a pretty big age difference as well, Edward was born in 1918, and thats far from when Bella was born…
i actually like the age difference between keenan and aislinn, because it keeps things interesting, different. and it shows you that this is not just average love story between some teens…
And, wow, Seth is my favorite character in the book [and so is keenan]. its not just because they are two of the main guys in the book and melissa marr makes them sound so cool [although that is a big part of it!] but they both have so much depth in their personalities and everytime i read about them, i just wanted to find out more and more…
But anyways,
i thought this book was amazing.
i put it right on up there with the twilight series and i think if it were to become a movie, i would definitly go see it the night it comes out.
ive thought about it, and it would be totally awesome to see all of our favorite characters come to life [as well as some freakin kewl faeries.]

melissa marr is a fantastic writer that really knows how to get peoples attention with just a single sentence, thanks for a great book!!

I haven’t read the book yet but i can’t wait i have hundreds of books and this is exactly my type of book (I don’t mean the whole sex thing. I mean i love reading fantasy) I love Stephenie Meyer’s novels aswell and if someone who likes that likes this it’s perfect. I just want to thank Melissa Marr for creating an unbeleavably good novel. Or atleast it will be when i read it. No one ever thanks the authors enough so THANKS!!! x

this book sounds great :D
is there a site to download this book :D
cbf buying + im cheap

I’m going to assume from your lack of punctuation and capitalization that you are young. So, let me give you some advice.

First, peppering your message with smilies does not make stealing any cuter. Yes, downloading from file-sharing sites is stealing. No, everybody is not doing it.

Second, if you actually pay for books, this helps enable the authors and publishers to afford to produce more books.

If you genuinely can’t afford to buy the book, try your local public library.
