My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 About as thrilling as every other faerie book on the market. 
 The Long Version: 
 At times I really liked this book, at times it was a struggle to finish it. I wasn't particularly a huge fan of the writing style, but I did like the use of faeries. 
 Kaye has had an...unusual upbringing. Her mother has been in many different bands and dated many different guys. Kaye at the age of 14 dropped out of school. She smokes, drinks, steals, and breaks curfew without consequence. But her life as she knows it changes after her and her mother move back to her childhood home. 
 I liked Roiben. Pretty much any scene he was in I loved (view spoiler)[ I just wished that he was more...evil (hide spoiler)]. Corny kind of gave me the creeps (view spoiler)[I mean he literally fantasizes about going on a killing spree daily...but by the end of the book I sort of liked his character (hide spoiler)]. Kaye was one-dimensional (view spoiler)[I did like her existential crisis over discovering she's green (hide spoiler)] . The other characters weren't memorable. I found myself forgetting they existed quite frequently. So the overall character building could've been better. 
 The book has a choppy writing style. Sometimes I got confused of how a character got from point A to B (either literally or in their thought process). I had to reread some parts and even then I was still confused. I think if the book was longer, it would've been better. 
 Truthfully, my rating falls somewhere closer to being a 2.5 star rating. 
 I liked the use of faeries, but there really wasn't much difference between this book and all other faerie books I've read in the past. Maybe the sequel will have more flair?
