Hello again! This is my second post and again I hope you enjoy it! Please leave a comment giving me feedback! Thank you!
Tithe by Holly Black
Summary:
Kaye Fierch has seen faeries since she was little, but has always been teased because of her "imaginary friends." Her mother has been in several rock bands trying to fulfill her dreams, and Kaye's been dragged around with her constantly since Kaye was eleven. When a strange attack forces her to move back to her hometown temporarily, she meets Roiben, a mysterious dark faerie knight of the Unseelie Court, and she is suddenly thrust into the world of Faerie once again, but it's much darker and more violent than she remembers. When her old faerie friends show up and explain that a mortal will be chosen as a tithe and the solitary fey will no longer be free, Kaye reluctantly agrees to help her magical friends when she finds out a surprising secret about herself, and is chosen as the sacrificial tithe. What will happen to Kaye as she is tested beyond the boundaries no mortal or fey has ever been challenged? Find out in the fantastical but bone-chilling Tithe.

Tithe was dark and humorous, making me laugh at times and making me want to wretch at others. Holly Black definitely caught the teenage attitude of the main character, Kaye, better than any author I have seen yet. Kaye is clever (though she doesn't realize it), witty, and independent, quickly becoming one of my favorite book characters. She doesn't take crap from anyone, and speaks her mind, she makes mistakes in life and isn't perfect, making her more real than other characters who are kind, loving, and have never said a bad word about anyone in their lives. She curses, drinks, even smokes, but it just adds to her charm and her growth as a character. Roiben, the hot male lead, made even my heart beat fast. He's an exquisitely made character, and I'm definitely envious of Kaye. Tithe is an amazing book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves faeries and fantastical beings, romance and enchantment.
I recommend Tithe to readers 14+, for adult language.
