Desert Tales a Wicked Lovely novel by Melissa Marr
This novel was a set of three Graphic novels originally. I didn't read the graphic novels, but was very excited that she turned it into a novel.
I really love the Wicked Lovely world. Melissa Marr's writing has all this darkness underneath. (My favorite characters will always be from the Dark court.)
In this book you meet Rika, the girl before Donia, and the Alpha Sionnach.
Sionnach reminds me of a Dark Court Fae, so naturally I liked him right off the bat. Raki, seemed weak and uninteresting to me. Her obsession over a mortal boy was also boring. I just didn't feel the connection. This doesn't come close to the other books of Wicked Lovely, it's flat and there is no meat to it. The closer you got to the end of the book, the more it felt like a real Wicked Lovely novel.
Best part of the book: Sionnach.
(show spoiler)
How could you not like Sionnach after reading this!
