Evil Fairies

You know what else rocks? Holly Black's 2002 debut novel, Tithe. Just read it yesterday, and it's sharp, funny, beautiful in parts, chilling, and really just like a perfect chocolate martini with sugar around the rim.

People often forget, too, that Mercedes Lackey and Holly Lisle were some of the first urban fantasy writers to reintroduce the Fey back in the early-1990s. Just sayin. But Black's debut is original and charming and sweetly dark in its own way. Loved it. Especially Corny (the character, not the book.)
