Need
by Carrie Jones

Summary from amazon.com:
Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal. Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.

I've read alot of the fantasy-faerie genre, and this book was a solid addition. But as this genre goes, Need could have introduced its supernatural aspects a little more smoothly. I found myself rereading pages, wondering how a straight-edge pacificist came up with pixies. But nonetheless, it was an interesting story with several interesting characters. I also wish the climax had been a bit more grande, but hey, pixies don't care.
I recommend for teen girls 12+. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
