She had a massive flower growing out of her back, no any sort of wings. I didn't really understand the title Wings either, as Laurel had no wings, nor could she fly.
The part leading up to the ending, but the ending itself felt unfinished, like something important was missing. I reckon the whole thing didn't end very well. Laurel didn't really decide in the end who she was going to be with, Tamani or David (I prefer David), which kinda upset me a bit. I quite liked this book, it had a soft plot, and it was different to other paranormal romances.
In truth, this book didn't go to far in the romance, and never really decided in the end (kinda sad, I know). Like everyone else, I thought that this book was going to be one of those cheesy paranormal romances, where there is nothing in the world except each other. I'm afraid this reader just didn't find it to be the outstanding breakout novel it was reported to be. It is easy reading with a smooth and sensible flow. The author's take on the faerie mythos is more original than I'd expected, and some of the descriptions are pleasantly vivid. Now, I would like to be as fair as I can and give the book some credit. The casualness with which sex is discussed (as though pregnancy were the only thing to be concerned with) warrants parental screening. The actual content at some points I wouldn't have recommended for youth under the age of 14, however. The dialogue often came across as awkward, and even when it managed to sound natural there was nothing memorable about it. The writing style was very simplistic, and for it being in the YA section I would have to say the vocabulary and style are more appealing to an age range of 10-14. Now to me, the characters lacked a lot of depth that would have aided me in becoming attached to any of them. And, of course, the intriguing illustration.
I picked it up because of the Stephanie Meyer review. This book had me very back and forth on what I thought of it.
