Recensione:

“Jeff’s journey to real empathy takes on issues crucial and relevant to teens: the price of popularity, the importance of being true to one’s beliefs, and the need to stand up for others.” (ALA Booklist)

“In a refreshing departure from her plant-based paranormal-romance series, Pike develops the pleasantly fractious relationship between Jeff and Kimberlee in Jeff’s earthy, humorous first-person. This brisk, down-to-earth thriller should appeal equally to male and female readers.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A whirlwind adventure full of secrets, lies, unlikely friendships, and romance.” (School Library Journal)

PRAISE FOR THE WINGS SERIES: “WINGS is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds.” (Stephenie Meyer, bestselling author of the Twilight Saga)

Mixing a little bit of Harry Potter and a lot of Twilight, Pike has hit on a winning combination. Yet it is her own graceful take on life inside Avalon that adds a shimmering patina sure to enthrall readers.” (Booklist (starred review))

“Silky narration, delicious escapism.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Pike’s clever and innovative way of reinventing fairy tales and myths to make them her own is wonderful...[The] story is rich in vivid details, action, adventure, and romance.” (Romantic Times (Top Pick))

“The series is action-packed, and the final chapters of the story are no exception. A thrilling page-turner, many readers will read the book cover-to-cover, barely daring to breath.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review))

“SPELLS is brilliant and lovely. Aprilynne Pike’s talent just continues to bloom and I am almost afraid to see how awesome her next book will be.” (Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of the Needs series)

Who knew faeries could be this cool? ILLUSIONS has it all. It’s fascinating, rich, and romantic, and weaves a great new tapestry of thrilling fantasy.” (Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Wake series)
