Review: Need By Carrie Jones


Paperback, 306 pages
Published February 1st 2010 by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


Summary:
Pain shoots through my head
        Fireworks. Explosions. All inside my brain.
     The white world goes dark and I know what's about to happen

    Zara Whit suspects a freaky guy is stalking her. She memorizes phobias and chants them when she's nervous. OK, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But moving to a freezing Maine town to stay with her grandmother is supposed to be the perfect fix - so her mum says.
Except, this plan of sending Zara away to help her stay sane? Yeah, not working. Turns out the stalker is not a figment of Zara's imagination. He's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right - not human - in this sleepy Main town, and all signs are pointing to Zara.(Goodreads)

Review and Rating: 4
    Normally I'm quite picky about what faerie or pixie books I will read but Carrie Jones has done a great job. She separated the pixies from the faeries and has created their own interesting world. She also expanded on the Were territory giving it a new direction. I also loved the phobias listed throughout the book they were very entertaining. For such a young author Carrie Jones has done a wonderful job and I will definitely be reading the rest of this series and would recommend it to fans of Melissa Marr.
