Publisher Description
Zara White suspects there’s a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She’s also obsessed with phobias. And it’s true, she hasn’t exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane . . . but Zara’s pretty sure her mom just can’t deal with her right now. She couldn’t be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara’s overactive imagination. In fact, he’s still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There’s something not right—not human—in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara. In this creepy, compelling breakout novel, Carrie Jones delivers romance, suspense, and a creature you never thought you’d have to fear.

"The first book in Jones' new series about pixies. After the death of her father, Zara's mother sends her to a small town in Maine to stay with her grandmother. She starts school and finds herself surrounded by two hot guys, Ian and Nick. She also finds herself being stalked by a mysterious man who might not be human. But he's not the only non-human in this sleepy Maine town. A new twist for lovers of the paranormal."

" loved it, fairies, YA romance "
— Emily, 2/5/2014 -
" If you like otherworld characters, you'll love this book. I HATE to say it is similar to Stephanie Meyers type of writing, but that's what I kept thinking while reading. "
— Kelley, 1/16/2014 -
" This book was good, and bad at the same time. I read the book, and I was interested with the shifters and Pixies, but I didn't like the lack of information that should have come in this book, the first. I'm saddened a bit, but I'm going to read the rest and hope that there is going to be a an increase of information. "

" Loved it though at some parts it was incleare what Carrie was trying to say. But over all i loved it. "
— Ina, 12/30/2013 -
" I kept having to remind myself that this was "YA", but I just don't get in to the werewolf/human hybrid stories. Overall, a quick, enjoyable read. "
— Highland-dreamer, 12/21/2013 -
" Ehh it was an okay book. I think they should've tried captivating the readers more. It had a super suprising ending though! "
— Jasmine, 12/16/2013 -
" What pulled my rating down was the slowness of the plot at the start. By the end of the book I was pretty interested but enough as to say "Fill the Need". "
— Jess, 11/16/2013 -
" I'd give this a 3.5. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't spectacular. I'll continue reading the series. "
— Kim, 8/30/2013 -
" I liked the story, but the love developement between Zara and Nick was unrealistic "
— Meli, 8/9/2013 -
" This book was so much better than I expected...the story line was easy to follow and I love the sarcasim of the main character...will purchase the next in series immediately... "
— Sarah, 8/6/2013 -
" Thanks to people who put up good reviews and explain WHY they didn't like the book. This saved me ten dollars and a few hours of my time. "
— Dallas, 4/4/2013 -
" This seems to be a love it or hate it book. I loved it. It's a quick read with a fun story. I liked the characters and Zara's phobia thing, while...different...was neat. I like this one better then Twilight. "
— Danielle, 11/4/2012 -
" Going to finish the series "

" i lovet , i love issie, i love devlyn, i love nick, ilove every single caracter, and the way they tangle they live together "
— Faby, 11/9/2011 -
" This book felt a lot like Twilight to me. The new school start, moving to a new town, getting lost in the wood and the werewolves were all very related. Yet it was still very enjoyable, if not a little tedious at times. I'm afraid it is not the best book I have ever read! "
— Rebecca, 11/7/2011 -
" AHMAZING! And that's all I need to say "
— Amy, 6/21/2011 -
" 4.5 stars-- I'm SO Team Astley!!!! "
— P.E., 6/17/2011 -
" A bit sad, but I really enjoyed it. I get really irritated at Zara; I feel she is quite selfish, but I love the character of Astley. "
— Melissa, 6/17/2011 -
" This book was definitely a lot better than the last two. There's a lot more action, more romance, and more humor. A solid read. A cliffhanger at the end makes you want to continue reading. "
— Amanda, 6/14/2011 -
" The developing love triangle between Nick, Astley, and Zara is compelling storytelling. The strength of the bond between the friends is the glue that drives the story. Norse Mythology, betrayal, impending war, etc. makes the next book in the series a must read. "
— Cathy, 6/12/2011 -
" when i first started reading thhis book it took sometime getting into i, but it quickly ficed its self. Just like the two book before it i gave it five stars. I love the little love triangle forming between Nick and Astley. I can't wait till the next book comes out! "
— Kara, 6/11/2011 -
" By far the best in the series! The silliness of Zara is still there, but toned down as she starts maturing more and more through all sorts of trips around the world, wounds, losses, and, of course, the eternal quest to save Nick from Valhalla... "
— Holly, 6/10/2011 -
" Hands down the best book in the series so far. Much more realistic ((well, as realistic as you can get, considering this is PIXIES (and other varies mythical creatures) we're talking about)) and well written than when the series just started. Looking forward to the the next installment! "
— Paige, 6/8/2011 -
" I'm loving this series so far! "
