Faerie Misborn by Samaire Provost

The story revolves around a homeless teenager who has lost everything finding out of her faerie parentage. Holly is offered acceptance into a boarding school where she can be fed and have roof over her head when she meets Chance who has come to fetch her. 

However, the dream of school and safe life has its troubles as Holly is "misborn" which in faerie causes problems. This is where her parents were not married. Bullying follows her and people know more about her than she does. 

I love the idea of this book and did enjoy it. I feel it is more aimed at a younger reader but certainly a nice easy read for me. I would love to see how the rest of the series goes and see Holly find more.

It did however lack in some details that might have helped get me more involved. There was nothing really on her education other than classes were hard. I also felt that as a streetwise teenager who didn't trust much didn't seem to question going with Chance very much. Plus at the beginning she didn't know basic things to look after herself like bathing or brushing her hair but once at school seemed to have no problems or ask many questions

It did, however, lack in some details that might have helped get me more involved. There was nothing really on her education other than classes were hard. I also felt that, as a streetwise teenager who didn't trust much, she didn't seem to question going with Chance very much. Plus, at the beginning she didn't know basic things to look after herself like bathing or brushing her hair; but once at school, she seemed to have no problems or ask many questions about what had happened. I'm hoping some of this will grow in the subsequent books. 

I definitely recommend it for YA supernatural readers, and I’ll be looking out for the new books in the series to find out what happens next.
