Wild is the lastest installment of a series of four books by Aprilynne Pike. Wild, or as its known in other parts of the world as "Illisions" is the third in the series of this truly amazing story. Wings starts the tale of a young girl named Laurel a head strong teenager from Del Norte California as her life changes when she discovers that she is a faerie sent from Avolon to protect the gate from the human to the faerie kingdom from the ever growing troll infestation.

In "Wild" the love triangle between Tamani, David and Laurel heats up when Tamani joins Laurels school in order to protect her from the ever lasting threat of trolls that befall Avolon and Laurel. Klea (a troll hunter) brings a girl to Laurel for protection as even though she doesn't know that Laurel is a Faerie, she knows that the girl Yuki is, and from previous encounters with Laurel has told Klea that she can be trusted. With trolls being located around Laurels home, Tamani has his work cut out to protect Laurel and to try to get information out of Yuki.

The book is fast pace and very energetic. Pike has a very distinted writing style, as it can be enjoyed by a younger audience because of its simple writing structer but can also be enjoyed by a more mature audience as it does not talk down to the reader. She portrays the characters and their emotions beautifully. From the heart break of both of the boys and the anger and despriation of Laurel. The characters interact with ease, the friendships are believable and yout heart breaks with Laurel has she has to choose between David and Tamani.

Although this is an amazing book I felt frustrated with the relationship of Tamani and Laurel.* From what the other books relate, Laurel can not remember the relationship she had with Tamani, and while I adore his undying love, I feel like it hasn't been developed enough for Laurel to be in love with Tamani in the same way that she is with David (A boy that she's been with for 2 years). 

In all I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys troll butt kicking faeries, romance and a good fight. But although it is perfect for girls, it is sad that the cover has hindered boys from reading this series.
