When sixteen-year-old Lee Capren is spirited away to Faerie, she is forced to serve capricious faeries as a prized portrait artist… and live as their prisoner.
A chance encounter with the charming Nasser grants Lee a chance for freedom—but what felt like mere days in Faerie spanned years in the human world, and Lee no longer has a home to return to.
Nasser is a Seer—a human with magical powers—and Lee is quickly plunged into his world: a sprawling city teeming with magic and mystery, where supernatural creatures walk hidden among humans. With the help of a rag-tag group of teenage Seers, Lee must master her newfound magical talent and outwit a cunning faerie determined to destroy her.

At first I wasn’t so sure about this book and then I was hooked. Kaye Thornbrugh completely reeled me in with the setting of this novel that I had to keep reading to see what happened. The thought of a parallel world of faeries and other magical creatures to ours might seem farfetched to some people but to me not so much, I mean how else am I to explain the fact that I can put 10 pairs of socks in the dryer but only 9 come out.

You’ve heard the saying “actions speak louder than words” well in relationship between Lee and Nasser flowers speak louder than words. If any of you are in a relationship and reading this review I highly encourage you to read this book and then go buy flowers for that special someone in your life. If you don’t have anyone special in your life then I will gladly accept any flowers that come to my door.

The central characters in this book are so interesting and I began wanting more of a back story to each one. I really wouldn’t mind if Thornbrugh decided to turn this into series I think there are many places it could go.
This book was a good read and I think should be added to your TBR piles.
