Desert Tales

We're on our 10th snow day and I'm reading, cooking and cleaning up another snow storm!  Literally...there's another snow storm forcasted this weekend.  Anyhow...I've been thinking about what to read next and realized that I forgot to blog about this adorable companion novel to the Wicked Lovely series by one of my favorite young adult authors, Melissa Marr.  Desert Tales is a short, sweet story that fits perfectly within the series right after Fragile Eternity.  Here's the blurb from Amazon:

Return to the world of Melissa Marr's bestselling series and discover how the events of Wicked Lovely set a different faery tale in motion. . . . Originally presented as a manga series and now available for the first time as a stand-alone novel, Desert Tales combines tentative romance, outward strength, and inner resolve in a faery story of desert and destiny.
The Mojave Desert was a million miles away from the plots and schemes of the Faerie Courts—and that's exactly why Rika chose it as her home. The once-mortal faery retreated to the desert's isolation after decades of carrying winter's curse inside her body. But her seclusion—and the freedom of the desert fey—is threatened by the Summer King's newfound strength. And when the manipulations of her trickster friend, Sionnach, thrust Rika into a new romance, she finds new power within herself—and a new desire to help Sionnach protect the desert fey and mortals alike. The time for hiding is over.

 As usual, I loaned this copy out right away and forgot to mention it here.  So sorry!  

Happy Reading!
I've got to decide what's next...looks like we'll be snowed in for a few days.
