Résumé
17 year-old Kelley Winslow doesn’t believe in Faeries. Not unless they’re the kind that you find in a theatre, spouting Shakespeare—the kind that Kelley so desperately wishes she could be: onstage, under lights, with a pair of sparkly wings strapped to her shoulders. But as the understudy in a two-bit, hopelessly off-off-Broadway production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, wishing is probably the closest she’s going to get to becoming a Faerie Queen. At least, that’s what she thinks... In this fun, urban fantasy, Kelley's off-stage life suddenly becomes as complicated as one of Shakespeare’s plot twists when a nighttime trip to Central Park holds more than meets the mortal eye

Mon avis :
Sans conaître l'univers des fées je me suis plongée dans ce roman avec délice.
Je ne suis pas habituée aux histoires de fées mais il faut dire aussi qu’en France se ne sont pas les créatures surnaturelles les plus représentées dans nos bibliothèque (du moins en young adult).
Mais si au début j’ai eu du mal à me plonger dans le roman, dès la 50 ème page,c'était parti! On suit l’histoire avec avidité ; pour celles et ceux qui connaissent eyes like stars de Lisa Mantchev on peut y retrouver des similitudes, le théâtre, les pièces shakespeariennes, la quête d’identité. Mais je dirais que wondrous strange est moins imagé et moins loufoque ^^. Les personnages sont attachants aussi bien l’héroïne (qui a de ces réparties !)que celui qui l’aidera, le fameux garde Sonny et j’avoue qu’il ne m’a pas laissé indifférente. On retrouve central park au cœur de la guerre des fées, qui débarque par un pont magique (toujours ce clin d'oei à L'Irlande et l'Ecosse). On est plongés dans la mythologie des fées et j’ai beaucoup aimé la découvrir, je suis assez novice dans ce domaine mais ça me plait.
J’ai maintenant hâte de pouvoir lire (et d’acheter surtout) la suite !
Résumé
Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was a Faerie princess, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved the mortal realm from the ravages of the Wild Hunt.
Now Kelley is stuck in New York City, rehearsing Romeo and Juliet and missing Sonny more with every stage kiss, while Sonny has been forced back to the Otherworld and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the remaining Hunters and Queen Mabh herself.
When a terrifying encounter sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful but destined to be cut short. An ancient, hidden magick is stirring, and a dangerous new enemy is willing to risk everything to claim that power.
Caught in a web of Faerie deception and shifting allegiances, Kelley and Sonny must tread carefully, for each next step could topple a kingdom . . . or tear them apart.
With breathtakingly high stakes, the talented Lesley Livingston delivers soaring romance and vividly magical characters in Darklight, the second novel in the trilogy that began with Wondrous Strange

Résumé :
"I don't love Sonny Flannery."
That's the lie Kelley Winslow told to protect the boy she loves from a power he doesn't know he possesses. Devastated, Sonny retreats—to a haven for Lost Fae that's hidden deep underneath New York City.
But Kelley's not about to let things end in heartbreak. To get Sonny back, she's got to find out who's after his magick—and how to use her own. She's got to uncover who's recruiting Janus Guards to murderously hunt innocent Faerie. She's got to help rebuild the shattered theater company she called family. And she's got to do it all without getting dangerously distracted by the Fennrys Wolf, whose legendary heart of stone seems to melt whenever he's around Kelley.
The intrigue and romance that began with Wondrous strange and Darklight come to a stormy head in Tempestuous, the breathtaking conclusion to Lesley Livingston's ravishing urban Faerie trilogy.
