Wondrous Strange

Last night I finished rereading Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston for like the tenth time. I love this book. Yesterday, while on Harperteen.com I saw that she posted the cover for the next book, Darklight, on her blog. The cover is beautiful. I can't wait to read the next book, espically after I've seen the gorgeous cover. I can't wait to see what happens next with Sonny and Kelley. If you haven't read Wondrous Strange I recommend you go read it now, it's wonderful debut novel.

Wondrous Strange is a great novel for people who enjoy reading fantasy and paranormal novels. It's a great novel of faeries.

Here is a summary from School Library Journal: When Kelley moves to New York to pursue her dreams of theatrical success, she expects that her only encounters with mythical beings will be confined to the stage, in the Avalon Grande Theatre's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. All of that changes when she meets Sonny Flannery, who introduces Kelley to a world she never knew existed. A member of Auberon's Janus Guard, he patrols the portal (in Central Park) between the human and faerie worlds on the few dangerous nights when it opens and members of the Unseelie Court can pass into the mortal realm. He is strangely drawn to Kelley, and as he gets to know her, he begins to suspect that there is more to her history than either of them know. Through encounters with sirens, hellhounds, and kelpies, Kelley and Sonny are drawn irrevocably into a battle among the Fey. Despite the budding attraction between them, forces they can hardly understand seek to keep them apart. Set against the backdrop of present-day New York City, this enchanting first novel weaves together the worlds of theater and magic in a way that is sure to please fans of both. Readers will revel in the hints of Shakespeare within the text as they are introduced to faerie creatures both familiar and "wondrous strange."
Fans of Twilight, Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely will love and enjoy this novel very much. I can't wait to read more from Lesley Livingston.
