We get some romance, some adventure, a bunch of magic and mystery, and plenty of teenage angst-there's even a school dance with fancy outfits and glitter-and there are also a couple of murder attempts and some science sleuthing (complete with microscope and tissue samples) to spice things up, too. Not too shabby for a debut novel, now is it? And when it does, you'll join the swarm of people who loved Wings so much when it was released in 2009 that it not only became a New York Times bestseller, but author Aprilynne Pike turned it into a series, writing three books to follow it ( source). Luckily her bud David is a biology nerd, and they begin to unravel the mystery together-only to discover that the thing on her back is part of her heritage as a faerie.Īnd that's just the beginning-we won't spoil it, but trust us when we say this book will suck you in. In Wings, Laurel's just another homeschool kid raised by hippies, struggling to get through her first weeks at public high school, when she finds a plant growing out of her back. Navigating high school is hard enough… how would you manage if you suddenly discovered that you weren't human? ![]()
