Summary: Laurel discovers she is a faerie, sent among humans to protect the gateway to Avalon. Thrust into the midst of a centuries-old battle between faeries and trolls, she's torn between a human and a faerie love, as well as her loyalties to each world. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever. 


My Review:  The story unfolds when high school sophomore Laurel Sewell wakes up one day to find something resembling wings growing between her shoulder blades. Already struggling with the other aspects of her life that make her feel like an outsider — being adopted after being abandoned on a doorstep at roughly the age of three, moving to a new town, and being a first-time student at the public high school after being home schooled through all of her early education Laurel must now deal with this alarming new development.


Laurel also soon finds herself with more problems. Laurel finds herself emotionally caught in the middle between the boy who is her trustworthy and unquestioningly loyal friend and the boy who is from her an entirely different world, that Laurel soon finds herself a part of. When a dangerous enemy appears on the scene, perhaps threatening both the safety of Laurel's family as well as the magical kingdom itself, both boys do their best to rush to Laurel's rescue.

I think that Pike created an amazing captivating new wold with Wings. I'm warning you right now that you will get attached to this book once you turn the first page.
