Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

4 “Didn’t Love it” Stars

Reviewed in Australia on 9 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed it but didn’t love love it like I thought I would. It took me a few chapters to get into the story but I was very intrigued with JLAs take on fae.
I’m loving Ivy and Ren, oh especially REN he reminds me so much of Lucifer from the Netflix show with his humor and sexual innuendos 😆

Now I kinda guessed the ending to a point, so at the moment I’m feeling a bit meh about reading the next book as I feel like it going to be dragged out for too long so 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe I’ll read, maybe I won’t and I’ll wait a bit before trying again.
I was really hoping to love this 🙁 but I do find a mood reader and I’m not feeling excited about the next one.

Bit put one thing I did love was Tink!!

Amazing!

Reviewed in Australia on 3 May 2017

I loved everything about this book!
Ivy is an amazing character - she is a tough chick but at the same time wants to be more than a hunter. She wants to do more with her life. She has a big heart that gets her into trouble but she tries to keep it closed off from everyone else. She can't lose anyone else that she loves. She's also sassy and funny. I loved her inner-thoughts!

Ren - the sexy, hot alpha. Oh how this man went from annoying to swoon worthy! His character development in this book was pure gold! He's a hunter but not just any hunter, he's an Elite! He has a greater purpose which I loved learning about.

Tink - I loved that little guy! His character had me laughing all through the book!

This book seriously got more and more interesting as the story progressed. The plot line is intriguing and keeps you guessing all the way through!

I can't wait to read the next book! Well done Ms Armentrout!

What a great start to this series. I’m in love with Ren and Ivy’s characters. They’re both such bad asses. The writing is great and the storyline intriguing and original. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

I felt a bit like I wasn't going to love this story so I dragged out reading this for aaaaages, which for me is weird given I am a HUGE JA fan, but I soon realised she's a bit like the mafia, once you're in you're in and there is no getting out...she just keeps pulling you back in... Cannot wait to jump right into the next awesome episode of this world. Thanks again JA

Good but not great

Reviewed in Australia on 8 November 2016

Verified Purchase

Whilst I enjoyed this story I really felt that the depth and the way in which it was written would be better suited to young adult BUT the sex scenes and swearing does not make it suitable. Compared to other fantasy romances in this price range the feel of the whole book, storyline and characters, just felt a little immature to me. Still an okay read.

She's done it again. Jennifer L. Armentrout has delivered another beginning to what I'm sure will be an epic series. This book had me hooked all the way.

Awful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2020

Verified Purchase

This is one of the worst books I've read in a long time. I got 30% of the way through and gave up due to it being utter drivel. The plot was predictable, the characters were flat and one-dimensional, everything is weirdly sexual when it really doesn't have to be, and the love interest gets away with being creepy (breaking into her house and bedroom whilst she's asleep) because he's attractive. The second she claps eyes on him she falls in lust and spends the rest of the time thinking about how hot he is, because the author has put absolutely no effort into characterisation it seems that Ivy's entire personality now revolves around some guy she's just met.

This book is unoriginal and cringey. I feel like the author is trying to write a strong female protagonist but Ivy falls completely short of the mark. I rarely give up on books but this one really was too rubbish to comprehend. I could not recommend that you avoid this book enough.

My favorite of all three books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this first book.

We got to know our heroine Ivy, who hunts fae because she's part of the Order and she's able to see beneath the glamour the fae cast.

Things get a little bit complicated when a new member joins - our hero, Ren. Apparently, he's not the simply hunter and things were about to be happening.

I don't really want to give anything away, other than this has to be the best of all three books. I liked the dynamic between the MCs, I really liked Ren and how it wasn't insta-love, but not a painfully dragged out slow burn. So it's in-between, just the way I like it.

Oh and my absolute favorite character is Tink. Hands-down, he's a constant, in all three books.

4.5 stars.

Compelling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2020

Verified Purchase

This takes a little while to take off, but once it does it is sort of compelling.

Ivy is in the Order and dedicates her life hunting faes. Something that she is born into. She doesn't let anyone too close to her because of her past mistakes and pain.

Ren is transfered in from another part of the country. He is good looking with a sarcastic and cheeky personality.

When the two of them meet, it's instant dislike from her part. He likes her and when they get together, it's like they are meant to be. They have secrets, but once they feel comfortable with each other, they spill. The twist at the end could be what destroys them.

Although a little predictable, it's a great storyline which is incentive enough to find out what happens in the next installment.

Poor at best.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2018

Purchased this as my friend and I put together a reading list of books we think the other should read and she had lost her copy so I had to buy this steaming pile of crap out of my own money to avoid disappointing her. The fact that the library wouldn’t even get it in stock should have told me something.

This book was awful, in every way that a book could be awful.

The writing was poor and reminiscent of that twilight rubbish everyone fawned over a few years back, the plot was predictable and the entire thing read out like the ‘author’ was just ticking of her checklist of worst cliches. Repetitive, dull and the worst thing?
The reason I knew what was ultimately going to happen was because prior to this my reading list had the whole Lux series on it (which I found on audiobook so didn’t have to waste much effort on) and this book was just a regurgitation of her previous forays into writing but with aliens changed into fairies or whatever.

Aside from names etc. the two series had far too many similarities. She quite literally reuses her old stuff and churns it out again to make herself more money without ever having to learn to write. Also I know this is ‘young adult’ but I think she completely underestimates what young adults are capable of reading and their knowledge of the world around them. So the author is either as daft as she presumes her readers to be or she’s being deliberately condescending.

When I see her name I cringe. Genuinely, cringe.

My friend promised a new guilty pleasure but the only thing I felt guilty about was the fact that trees were cut down to support this complete and utter trash.

Fantastic Addition to JLA Catalogue

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2015

Verified Purchase

Wicked is another fantastic fantasy read from writing power-house Jennifer L. Armentrout. I am seriously in awe of her talent. How on Earth does she write so many great books so quickly? She said recently that she's released 30 books in 3 years. I only discovered her a few months back, and I've already read 22 of those 30 and the rest are on my Kindle, along with pre-orders of the books due out this year. I devour everything she reads, and it's becoming a major problem as it's taking over my life. Ha ha. So just to put it out there at the start of this review, I have a major JLA addiction and the woman can barely put a foot wrong in my book.

Onto Wicked, I loved it :) Ivy is great, fiesty yet vulnerable, like-able if a bit prickly. My favorite kind of protagonist. Ren is charming as the male lead, though he reminded me a little of Aiden St. Delphi in that he's mature and takes his responsibilities seriously, but has a funny side too. And he's massively caring and protective of Ivy which is aahh,swoon.

But Tink is my favorite character from this book. He's hilarious, and the banter between him and Ren at the end is priceless. He's got Ivy's back too, and you know there is more of an agenda there than he's let on. Hopefully we'll find out more when Torn is released in the summer.

I love Jennifer's inimitable writing style and this book is up there with the best of her best. Pacing is great, and I was hooked from the start. The plot was predictable in places, but I still really enjoyed it. The whole thing with Val and what Ivy is - totally guessed it, even with the bum steer. Also where were the Elite with this big threat hanging over New Orleans? Surely they would have sent in the cavalry? The other thing that didn't make sense to me was how David and Ren were both suspicious of Val (you could tell) yet they assigned her to room that held the gateway? Again, didn't add up.

JLA loves her cliff-hangar endings, and so do I. This was isn't a total killer but I'm still dying for the next book. Ivy is facing a real dilemma and I'm intrigued to see what she does. She can't tell Ren, not that he would turn her in, but she'd involve him in it if she confided in him. Yet she can't run either, as then they will all be hunting her. So she's kind-of damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't.

If you're a fan of JLA, or of new adult fantasy in general then you should pick up a copy of this book. You won't be disappointed.
