Review: Spark (Elementals #2) by Brigid Kemmerer.Review: The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth.Review: Silver (Bandia #1) by Talia Vance.Inbetween Blog Tour: Review + Guest Post + Giveaway.I was actually surprised that I ended up liking and enjoying it. Although not as mind blowing as I would have hoped for but still it was a nice and decent read with an engaging plot and characters. Fortunately, The Treachery of Beautiful Things did work for me. Maybe because I started with a very good one that I tend to base my expectation on it. I think the only fae series I finished and really liked was the Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa. Those who know me know that faerie-themed books don't usually work for me. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack's help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils, and she's faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice-and not just her own. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own. Instead, she's lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it.
