Awesome!!!!!!!!
I just finished reading this and i loved it. The reason they use morphine in it is because her dad is DYING! Get over it! It was either him dying or him being saved by medicine.

Pretty good
I love this book, but they refer to sex multiple times. i loved the story, but it said a curse word and used an inapripriate phrase a couple of times. overall the story was great. thanks for putting a twist on the fairy(faerie)!

Couldn't ask for a better book!!!
This book was so amazing, I literally couldnt put it down! I took the book everywhere I went, waiting until I was no longer needed to read it, if only even for a few seconds. Every word was intricately placed to form a beautiful master piece about faeries (the same as fairies), romance, adventure, and, if you can stretch your imagination, even a little mystery. I'll be honest and admit that I cried a little (that's a good thing, not a bad thing). The main character's mom had her daughter drink Sprite, but the book also said that Sprite was "empty calories". It was kind of brutal and harsh when people's necks were snapped. Periods are touched on two times(I'd hardly they could be called "discussions"), and the discussion of sex wasnt too bad, and I'm very sensitive to things like that. But that one part about sex was pretty insignificant, so if you just skip over it, it's no big deal. I've read the second and third books, which were as incredible as the first, and everyone knows that sequals (and trequals?) are usually not as great as the first. I'm so glad that Common Sense Media recommended it for me! THANK YOU!

I couldn't put it down
I loved this book. It's not very sexual, but it's got some edgy content that's probably not appropriate for kids under 12 (it's a bit iffy for 11 year olds). There is a lot of violence at the end, and it's kind of gruesome; necks are snapped, people are choked, someone tries to drown a faerie and a boy, etc. There isn't a lot of sex; there are some passionate kisses, and there were minor references to sex. The references to periods wasn't horrible because it's something that girls go through. There are a few uses of "h-ll" and "d*mn", and there's also one use of "s-t". They did mention some alcoholic beverages, like Morphine (and I think brandy is a drink), but it's used on a sick man.

Fantastic book! Great for ALL ages!
This is a great book! I don't understand why discussion of periods is considered bad? It happens to every girl even at the age of 10. Oh, and they kiss! Call the police!! I just don't get it sorry.

Depending on how mature you are and maybe 13+ can be mature enough
This book is sooo good. I reallly loved it.I Think this book's plot is similar to twilight's plot so i read it instead of reading twilight because my mom won't let me read twilight. Anyway the book depends on how mature you are and not age.

Good book for Tweens and up.
Well I think the cover design is product placement for Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, the story within is very good nonetheless. As well it's similar to Twilight, it says much more in a lot less pages while being better written. It also handles similar situations in a better manner such as the love triangle and the mythology. I think it's a good story for 13+ because it's involving faeries, love, and a little adventure while not being dragged on or boring. Laurel, I can see as a somewhat good role model as when she enters into high school she doesn't change who she is and surrounds herself with people who accept her for that. Even though it does get a little violent and Morphine is used once on a sick man, I think it's a good read for tweens, involving fairies, while being interesting enough for teens and some adults too.

SERIOUSLY??? BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT!
This book is FINE! The language is really not an issue, kids these days drop the f bomb, and yet we are worried about a s***?! And sexual content? Like there is any! Yeah so a couple makeout? Big deal! Children these talk about so much more before even the third grade! This website treats children like babies, half theses things we already know about!

Couldn't put it down :)
I thought it was a very good book, I really like the fantasy genre. My friend and I were looking for new reading material in Barnes and Noble and I told her she should read "Wings" so she bought it, and she finished it in two days. She told me all about how she couldn't put it down and I told I was the same way. :)

Good book for 11+. Like Twilight, a bit more appropriate.
This is a good book, and the common sense media review basically tells you everything :)
