Wicked Lovely, Volume 3: Resolve (TokyoPop)

Description

This is the third and final book in the stunning series of exclusive manga stories from Melissa Marr, set in the same seductive and dangerous faerie world as her bestselling WICKED LOVELY novels. This tale focuses on Rika, a minor character in WICKED LOVELY: formerly a mortal, formerly a Winter Girl, and formerly loved by the Summer King... Hidden away from the concerns of the faery and mortal worlds, Rika has treasured the solitude of the desert. But now a threat imperils her desert home-and as a new romance blossoms, so does Rika's determination to face that threat head-on. The time for hiding is OVER.

Melissa Marr was voted in high school the "most likely to end up in jail". Instead, she went to graduate school, worked in a bar, became a teacher and did a lot of writing. Her novels Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, Fragile Eternity and Radiant Shadows, Darkest Mercy and Faery Tales and Nightmares are published by HarperCollins Children's Books. She has also recently compiled and edited Enthralled, a collection of paranormal novellas with Kelley Armstrong.

Praise for the WICKED LOVELY series: "Marr offers readers a fully imagined faery world that runs alongside an everyday world, which even non-fantasy (or faerie) lovers will want to delve into" Publisher's Weekly, starred review "The fantasy of being pursued by two young men is alluring in itself, but when one is a pierced and tattooed sexy outsider and the other is a blindingly beautiful King of Faery, how much better can it get? Readers will beg for a sequel" Washington Post "This is a magical novel... the first book in a trilogy that will guarantee to have you itching for the next instalment. * * * *" Bliss
