"Tithe" Review

"Tithe" by Holly Black

Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms--a struggle that could very well mean her death.

Review:
Rating- *** (stars)
This was an okay book. I liked the idea of this book and the characters, but it just started out too slow for me. nothing really happens until about half way through the book. I think my favorite character in this book is Roiben because he's a bad- boy character that would still risk his life for Kaye because he loves her. To everyone else he's a dangerous and unpredictable killer, but when he's around Kaye he shows a completely different side of himself.
