Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale By: Holly Black
Recommended by: Rose F.

Plot: Sixteen year old Kaye is a modern nomad; she travels with her mothers band until she and her mother are forced to return to her grandmother's house in New Jersey. There Kaye finds herself caught up in a battle between two very vicious faerie courts.

Why read? It is amazing. There are really cool characters like Roiben, a terrifying plot, and the excitement of actually knowing some of the local places in the book that are mentioned (for instance Delicious Orchards) since it takes place so close to E.B.

Reviewer’s note: There is also a companion Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie that takes place in New York City and a sequel Ironside: A Modern Faerie’s Tale.
