Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin

Here's a quick bit from Nancy Werlin's website: What does it mean to be extraordinary? Phoebe finds herself drawn to Mallory, the strange and secretive new kid in school. Soon the two girls are as close as sisters . . . until Mallory’s magnetic older brother, Ryland, appears. Ryland has an immediate, exciting hold on Phoebe—but a dangerous hold, for she begins to question her feelings about her best friend and, worse, about herself.

Soon she’ll discover the shocking, fantastical truth about Ryland and Mallory, and about an age-old debt they expect Phoebe to pay. Will she be strong enough to resist? Will she be special enough to save herself?
My Take
Sometime back I read Nancy Werlin's Impossible, another faery tale.  Ms. Werlin does the faery realm quite well in my opinion.  Phoebe, the main character in this book was a very nice girl and completely likeable.  In some ways, she was almost too good.  She never seemed to find much trouble and breezed about life.

Overall, I liked this book.  I didn't particularly love it, but I liked it well enough.  The description of the faery world, towards the very last part of the book was wonderful.  I particularly enjoyed it once everything was explained, again toward the last of the book.  At that point, the excitement was ramped up quite a bit too. 

There was zero drugs, and drinking in this book and very minimal mentions of sex.  I would say this could easily be for 13 and up.  I'll give this book 3 little innocent kisses!
