Modern Tale of Faerie  by Holly Black
Review by Miss Tammy

In this trio of books by Holly Black, faeries are real and waging war in our modern world, unseen to most human eyes.  These books deal with the humans that can see the faeries and find themselves mixed up in their crazy world.  Of course, the human world is pretty crazy for these teens:  Kaye has to deal with a rock star-wannabe mom, Corny is hated by pretty much everyone (and not just because he's gay), Val catches her mom and boyfriend making out (gross), and Lolli lives the not-so-glamorous life of a street person.  Through their encounters with the dark world of Faerie some of them find hope and love with others find despair and death. 

The first two books in the series, Valiant and Tithe, do not need to be read in any certain order, but both should be read before the concluding book, Ironside.
