Lesley Livingston is the author of Wondrous Strange, Dark Light, and Tempestuous. These three books are a trilogy based around the story of Kelly Winslow, who basically finds out that faeries are real, and not only are they real, but she herself is a faerie princess. It's pretty hard to tell too much about the plot without spoiling it, or at least, that's how I feel, and I'd really hate to spoil it for you guys, because it's sheer brilliance to read it as the author intended.
Suffice it to say, these books are BRILLIANT. Yes, I said it was, and I don't mind saying it again. ;) I'm a hopeless romantic, and so throughout the whole trilogy, you have at the center, Kelley and her "one true love," Sonny, fighting to stay together and ultimately protect one another. The books are complete with epic battles of good versus evil, as well as, of course, a good helping of magic.
Being a lover of fairy-tales, I think it really would have been impossible for me to not at least like this series. Hopeless romantic dreamer that I am, the combination is stunning for me. But like I said, these are beyond that. I don't think I can sing this woman's praises enough. The whole plot line is just original and wonderful, and I would HIGHLY recommend that you look this girl up and read the trilogy.
I also can't WAIT to see what she puts out next. I'm hopeful that it will be something equally as brilliant. :D
oooh! They sound like great fun!
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely WONDERFUL, Kristi. Like I said, I can't even explain how much I loved these books. :D Granted, they are Young Adult fiction, so I suppose you "grown-ups" may not like them as much as I did. ;)
