Wicked Lovely is a young adult/urban fantasy novel by author Melissa Marr. The story follows protagonist Aislinn, who has the Sight (the ability to see faeries), and whose life begins to unravel when it seems the fey-folk develop a sudden interest in her. The novel intertwines the old rules of fairytales and folklore with the modern expectations of adolescent 21st-century life.[1][2] It was published by HarperTeen, a division of HarperCollins, in June 2007 in the US. Wicked Lovely was originally written as a short story, ('The Sleeping Girl'), before the author decided to expand on her work in order to further develop the characters.[3] She completed the novel over a period of four months, and submitted it to an agent in January, 2006. By early March of that year, it had been accepted for publication.[4]
