Jennifer L. Armentrout kicks off her New Adult Paranormal
series with
WICKED. Featuring fairies, this series is set in New Orleans
so it has a ton of
character. Ivy Morgan is the heroine of this story and like
the setting, she is
bursting with character. I found myself really enjoying the
characters in this
story a lot. I've read so many of Armentrout's books but I
think paranormal romance is
really where she does her best work.
This series is technically New Adult, however, I did feel
like the dialogue
sometimes did feel a little bit younger. I don't know any
twenty-two year old
who would say some of the things that Ivy or the other
characters say so
that's really my only complaint about this series.
Sometimes it just feels very
young and then when you switch to the sexy times, it just
feels awkward
because Ivy does sometimes sound younger than she really is.
Ren Owens is an interesting character. I don't want to say
too much because
I think most of the appeal about his character is what makes
this book so
interesting but I think if you have liked Armentrout's
heroes in the past, then
you will like Ren as well.
WICKED is a fun and exciting start to the Wicked
saga. If you're a fan of fun
fairies, then you'll enjoy Armentrout's take on the
timeless trope.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average
college student. She, and others like her, know humans
aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun…
and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all,
four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the
creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her
heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her
rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of
temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes
and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in
its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to
make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting
him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers
stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before
had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that
grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep
down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands
of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not
the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail
bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her,
and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is
more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take
over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart
and her soul.
