The compelling book Need by Carrie Jones is about a girl who is sent to her grandmother’s house, when her stepfather dies. The girl, Zara White, becomes drawn into a world, in a small town Maine, which has mystical creatures like weres and pixies. The pixie king is looking for a mate so he goes for Zara as bate. The pixie king need a mate so when is he is out he leaves a small gold dust around wherever he is. If the pixie king doesn’t have a mate by a certain time he has to kill boys in order to stay alive. And if the pixies don’t have a king than they can take advantage of the opportunity and try to find their own mate. Doing this would then make them able to become the pixie king.
This book also includes about 55 phobias that you have probably never heard of! For example cacophobia which is the fear of ugliness!
This is one of my favorite books because it took me into the story. The sequel to the book will be arriving in stores in January 5, 2010!

I agree with Amanda - this was a very good read - along the lines of Twilight, but with better writing, and if possible, more suspense. I didn't know there was a sequel in the works. I'll have to look for it. I would also highly recommend Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely, and perhaps Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia.
What you said about the whole "mate" thing reminds me of a book I read over the summer Impossible. It also has the whole finding a "mate" layout.
Amanda, you rrrreeeeaaaallllyyyy like reading books about people with sparkly stuff on their face.
