I’m sure all of you know that the Twilight saga has grabbed the hearts (and squeals) of many young girls, teenage girls, moms and even the male population.

So now that the title has caught your attention, I’m going to introduce a few books with the paranormal and romance theme that have come out recently.

The vampire and werewolf turf has been dug out, move over because faeries are coming to town!

There has been many books coming out last year and this year, flying into new territory : the faeries/faerys/fairies/fairys (you get the point).

Put into my own words I personally haven’t read them all but will be getting there!

Wings by Aprilynne Pike

15 year old Laurel has been home schooled in her small town. One day her parents enrol her in high school and she has trouble getting used to it. She’s different from other kids, not just her schooling background but these petal like wings that sprout from her back. Her newly made best friend David, who loves science, reveals her cells are closer to a plant’s than an animal’s. A visit from Tamani convinces her that she is a faerie. She has to save her land from evil. It’s a tale of romance, magic and danger. Your view of faeries will be changed forever! (May 2009)
