Wicked Lovely: Desert Tales, Volume 1: Sanctuary by Melissa Marr and Xian Nu Studio

LOVED IT

I have just discover manga and find it is very addictive.  Whenever I get stuck in a reading slump, I pick one up and find that the pictures stimulate me enough to get over it.  This story didn't disappoint me.  If you are familiar with Wicked Lovely, you know how faeries can sometimes be dark and this is no exception.  The drawings are just fantastic and can convey so many more details that written descriptions.  They even help tell the story with showing the emotions of the characters rather than just explaining it.

I think this series is probably more appropriate for teens since there is some violence and sexual situations.  Overall, reluctant readers should read this quickly.
