Helpful Score: 2


Awesome start to a new series. I love all of Stacey Jay's YA books so I was extremely excited about her first Urban Fanasy debut. I was not dissapointed. This book had everything: paranormal, mystery, action, and just a faint hint of romance. It was left open for a sequel which I am eagerly awaiting, because there were a few questions left unanswered.

Annabelle Lee is not your typical heroine. Shes an FCC agent living in the deep south in a world where mosquito sized fairies are very deadly. Because she is immune to the bites, her job is collecting samples in the area beyond the iron gates for the Fairy Containment Control (FCC). Shes a slacker and uses alcohol as her crutch.

There is a lot going on in this book. Annabelle is investigating the death of an 8 year old (of which whom her friend is arrested for) An old flame returns with the FBI, and shes fighting her feelings for her new guy, Cane; and trying to take down a string of breeze houses (think: meth house) without getting herself killed in the process.

There were quite a few twists and turns within this book, and a new character was introduced towards the end that Im sure will return in the next book. All in all, I highly enjoyed it.
