Do you believe in fairies? And what if you do, do they look like Tinkerbelle? What if they weren't the cute, cuddly things you think they are? What if they are evil, merciless,....invisible? But there are also good fairies. The kind that smell like cherry blossoms and weave flowers into your hair. Kaye has met these fairies, the nice ones. As a child she would play with her little winged friends and they would tell her stories about their world. The story begins as Kaye moves back into the house she was a child in. Now she is sixteen and has seen more of the world than just that small town. Not only is she older, but now she experiences the other side of the fairy kingdom, the darker side. After meeting a mysterious knight, she is granted an answer to a question. Little does she know this begins a journey of many new worlds and a quest to find who she truly is.
This story unique and thrilling. Tithe is the first book in a series. It has aspects of a teen romance novel, suspense, and fantasy all in one book. I'd recommend this book to anyone and everyone who wants to read but doesn't know what genre to read, because this encompasses bits of so many genres. Holly Black has done a great job at integrating realistic conversation and actions into this story and has created lovable heroes, hateful villains, and comical relief. She paints a beautiful and at the same time terrifying world that you could believe was real. This IS a must read for any teenage girl.
