Laurel was mesmerized, staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautiful—too beautiful for words. Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked almost like wings. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.

"Meh. Fantasy :p. This book was not fantastic, but not COMPLETELY terrible either. I like Tamani and Laurel and the fairy-plant aspect (other than the thing about humans needing up stories) but the trolls are a no-go for me. Nothing really stood out other than the fact that the fairies were plants. It really bugged me though that neither Laurel nor her mother could remember Laurel ever bleeding(I mean really, isn't that something you should notice?). The whole story seemed a little copy-catish and not much new. Pretty much everything in it I had read in another book that was better (Twilight, The Hourglass Door, Sarah Dessen books). I guess I try the rest of the series but it is definately not going on my favorites list and I'm not sure about this author (kind of boring for me)."
"Unique, entertaining and thrilling. I liked Laurel from the start. I liked the difference between the types of faeries in this book and the one I have read about in other books. I also really liked normal, down-to-earth David and the wild but dreamy Tamani. I was taken by surprise by some of the events in this book but they were pleasant surprises. I will definitely be picking up Spells as soon as I can. If you like faeries, you will definitely like this breath of fresh air."

"For sure! It's the first in a series, but I can't think of the sequel names? "
