Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely opens a YA urban-fantasy series about Aislinn, a teenage girl who has always been able to see faeries and has spent her life following her grandmother's rules to avoid their notice - until Keenan, the Summer King, decides she is meant to be his queen. Later books widen out to other faerie courts and other narrators drawn into the same modern-day faerie politics layered invisibly over ordinary life. It helped kick off the mid-2000s wave of YA faerie romance.
