Book Reviewed: Tithe by Holly Black

The world created by Holly Black in her modern fairytale series (thus far made up of Tithe, Valient, and Ironside) is like no other in teen literature: it repulses and frightens even as it captivates. Tithe is the first story and invites the reader into the lush and dangerous world of the fae. The main character, a streetwise girl named Kaye, must find her way through the conspiracy, teen angst, and betrayal both in New Jersey and the faerie courts. A tale of intrigue, hidden identities, and true love, Tithe will shock and amaze you, make you laugh, make you cry, and keep you coming back for more as the story unfolds.
