Ooh, I've been meaning to try this one out. From what I have read, it is one of the new "edgy inspirationals." Romantic Times said "This isn't your mother's inspirational novel" or something like that. It scandalized some readers of inspirational fiction -- so I know I will probably like it.

I think that's the one with quite a few reviews complaining of the "racy" content (although I understand a number of christian romances these days have pretty much the same content as other romances, just it all takes place after the wedding).

Wicked Lovely Free with Bonus Material, by Melissa Marr, is currently a 99 cent pre-order at Amazon and should be free soon (or at least by the April 6 release date), joining her other free titles (Stopping Time, Part 1 and Part 2).

Book Description
Read the New York Times bestseller that started Melissa Marr's enchanting tales of Faerie for free! Don't miss the sneak peak at the upcoming RADIANT SHADOWS!

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.

Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty - especially if they learn of her Sight - and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.

Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.

Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.

Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost - regardless of her plans or desires.

Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.

Faerie intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning 21st century faery tale.

Same here, plus most of the book aren't available in Australia... I'm getting tired of even clicking on the links...

Geographic restrictions are a pain (then again, they are also easily bypassed).

Early reports are that Apple will follow B&N's lead and simply not sell outside the US, as they haven't set up the reciprocal agreements needed for international ebook sales.

That ones been free for at least a couple of weeks, but it looks like it's never made the list on the front page when it first went to 99 cents (and no one posted that it had moved up to free).

Thanks for posting it.

Being Jewish, I find this book a load of rubbish.
