This series is technically New Adult, however, I did feel like the dialogue sometimes did feel a little bit younger. I don't know any twenty-two year old who would say some of the things that Ivy or the other characters say so that's really my only complaint about this series. Sometimes it just feels very young and then when you switch to the sexy times, it just feels awkward because Ivy does sometimes sound younger than she really is.
Ren Owens is an interesting character. I don't want to say too much because I think most of the appeal about his character is what makes this book so interesting but I think if you have liked Armentrout's heroes in the past, then you will like Ren as well.
WICKED is a fun and exciting start to the Wicked saga. If you're a fan of fun fairies, then you'll enjoy Armentrout's take on the timeless trope.
Book Summary
Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average
college student. She, and others like her, know humans
aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun…
and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all,
four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the
creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her
heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her
rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of
temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes
and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in
its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to
make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting
him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers
stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before
had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that
grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep
down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands
of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not
the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail
bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her,
and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is
more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take
over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart
and her soul.
