SEVEN BLACK DIAMONDS

(Bk 1 of 2)

It’s a duology,

YA,

​FAERY

Releases January 2016

and I’m having a lot of fun with it.  

​FROM THE ADVANCED READER COPY JACKET: Lilywhite Abernathy is a criminal. Her guilt lies in her DNA. Lily is half human, half fae, and since the time before she was born, a war has been raging between humans and faeries. The Queen of Blood and Rage, ruler of the fae courts, wants to avenge the tragic death of her heir—a death that was the fault of reckless humans. Lily’s father has shielded her from the repercussions of her ancestry, but when she’s sent to the prestigious St. Columba’s school, she’s delivered straight into the arms of a fae sleeper cell –the Black Diamonds. Mysterious, glamorous, and constantly at odds, the Diamonds are planted in the human world as the sons and daughters of the most influential families, and tasked with destroying it from within. Against her will, Lilywhite’s been chosen to join them … and even the romantic attention of the fae rock singer Creed Morrison isn’t enough to keep Lily from wanting to run back to the familiar world she knows. Melissa Marr returns to faery in a dramatic story of the precarious space between two worlds and the people who must thrive there.

1) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Title: Games Fandom: Wicked Lovely Pairing: NiallxIrial Characters: Niall, Irial, a lil background Gabriel and implied Keenan Word Count: 914 Author’s Note: so despite the world clearly working against me, i wrote a thing! it’s short and kind of shitty but it’s one of the wicked lovely fandom’s first shitty coffeeshop!au so that’s gotta count for something, yeah? 

Niall’s favourite coffee shop was only two blocks from his apartment - which was sometimes unfortunate. He spent way too much time and way too much money at that place.

#donia#is my heart and my soul and my everything#i just love her so much#i mean#i adore most of the characters in wicked lovely#but donia will forever hold a special place in my heart#because she's so strong and powerful and beautiful#and she doesn't even fully comprehend it#and she's hurting#searching for a place to belong#for a way to heal herself#when she's torn apart again and again everyday#i feel like evan tbh#i just want to protect her at all costs (via starcrossed-chickens)

Fragile Eternity is the third book in the Wicked Lovely series. You really have to read this series in order or you will be totally lost.

Marr has written a series so lovely and intricate. There are characters from the other two books and the point-of-view changes within the book. Everything is connected and intertwined and all of it is leading to something. The world is built in so many different sages and there are so many different characters.

Since the characters are Fae, you love them one minute and can’t stand them the next. Ash is has changed, of course, however Seth is changing too. Niall and Donia has also change, taking on more of the role of their court leaders, as King of the Dark and the Winter Queen. Everything is in turmoil and thing are not settled, if anything they seem to be getting worse.

5 seasons or movies for each book.

There’s sure enough happening.

Before last year, I had lived in Pittsburgh for some time while I was doing my undergrad. I didn’t remember it at the time, but the Burgh was often referenced in Wicked Lovely as a place that Grams has often taken Aislinn out on trip, and Leslie also visited in Ink Exchange.

I’ve been listening to the audio book while working on my WL portraits, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride whenever Pittsburgh was mentioned, or Carnegie.
