Tithe-A Modern Faerie Tale

As usual browsing the used book store here I came across "Tithe" A modern Faerie tale by Holly Black. I personally have never read anything about Faeries, never had the urge to. However Holly Black really changed my mind!

Tithe is about a 16 year old girl named Kaye who is always moving around with her single mother's rock band. She's always changing schools [if she even goes to school] and always having to pick up the pieces of her drunken mother until something happens forcing them back to her childhood home. Kaye and her mother have to go live in her grandmothers house where Kaye grew up until they can get back on their feet...it turns out to be better then Kaye ever thought!

Kaye has always been able to see these "imaginary" flying faeries she soon learns are real, and Kaye is soon thrown in the middle of a faerie battle, while trying to keep her sanity and "cool points" with her childhood friends.

Tithe is a short book, but a good read. It is an easy read, but a great story! Its def a great book to relax on the weekend with! I plan on looking more into the world of Holly Black and her amazing Stories!

I think my next books I will be looking into will be Ironside & Valiant, two more Faerie Tales by our Holly Black!

As always,
From Reader To Reader <3
