Carrie Jones
In this first book in a YA fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author Carrie Jones, Zara discovers that magic is stirring in her sleepy Maine town . . . and herself.Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since she's had a pretty rough life. Her father left when she was a baby, and her stepfather just died. Her mother's pretty much checked out--in fact, Mom's sent her to live with her grandmother in cold and sleepy Maine to "keep Zara safe." Whatever that means. Zara doesn't think she's in danger; she thinks her mother just can't deal.Zara's wrong. The man she sees everywhere--the tall creepy guy who points at her from the side of the road--yet, he's not a figment of her imagination. He's a pixie. And not the cute, sweet kind with little wings. Maine's got a whole assortment of unbelievable creatures, like pixies and were-people. And they seem to need something--something from Zara . . .Don't miss the all of the books in the Need series:NeedCaptivateEntice Endure

"This was alright. I thought it was going to be about something else and more intense but no. The writing style was not the best, I was kind of getting annoyed with it. The character development felt "weird". I guess it was the way the story progressed that made it seem off. The plot was good though. This wouldn't be something I would reread. I'll see how the second one goes and hopefully it'll be better. "
"I read this book when it first came out and STILL think back of it to this day. It really stayed with me. Such a good read and a series you can easily read more than once. "
