Tithe - Holly Black

Title: Tithe Author: Holly Black Genre: Fantasy Rating: 8/10 # pages: 323 Date read: December, 2007

Summary: Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms -- a struggle that could very well mean her death.

Review: I added Tithe to my wishlist solely because it was on my list of Amazon recommendations. A bit of a gamble, as I hadn't heard about it from anywhere else, but it paid off fortunately. A bit more YA than most YA fantasy books I've read recently, but I still really enjoyed it, and it provided a new interesting take on faeries. I'd recommend it to anybody who enjoys YA fantasy.
