Title: WhatMissKelleyIsReading: bookitty.typepad.com
Product review: Kaye has always been able to see faeries, and when she and her mother move back to her childhood home with Kaye's grandmother after years in the city, she sees them again. Only instead of the playful friends of her childhood, these faeries bring violence and even death.Tithe is subtitled "a modern faerie tale" and the back cover info invites readers to learn more about "dark faeries". This book is very much modern and dark; Kaye drinks, smokes, and swears, and there are real consequences for the actions that characters take in this book. Sexual violence and desire are also part of the story. Yet none of these choices are gratuitous, and they are absolutely fitting with the setting and time period of the story. I won't put this book out for my seventh graders, but I would absolutely recommend it to any high schoolers that I know. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
