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.
