Did you like it? Ohyes. I read the prequel, Wicked Lovely last year (or even the end of the year before that, I do not quite remember). I liked that the whole series isn't not about one central character, but more each book switches the main character from the group of central characters.
What's it about? The short answer would be faeries. The longer answer would be as follows. A girl by the name of Leslie has had a very tough life after her mother left her family. Her father is a drunk and a gambler. Her brother is a druggie of every sort and uses Leslie (her body more like it) to buy drugs from his dealer. Life is hard and she's in a place where she chooses to become numb. She thinks a tattoo will solve this, help to make her body hers again. What she doesn't know is that her "best friend" is a faerie (the queen of the summer courts to be exact) and both of the men she is attracted (Naill and Irial) to are also faeries. Anyway, she gets this tattoo and starts being able to see the faeries as well as the faeries become more attracted and interested in her. She allows the king of the faeries to draw emotions of mortals through her to feed on (because apparently that's what the dark fay feed on). In the end she learns that she can't become numb and avoid choices and her life because they are what make her...well her. So she leaves the fay world with the help of Naill and tries to live a "normal" moral life.
