The Treachery of Beautiful Things, Ruth F. Long

 The Treachery of Beautiful Things was creative and exciting! The story-line was intriguing, and the plot and people in the book charismatic. Interestingly, the point of view would shift between MC's Jenny and Jack. Described beautifully, the landscapes were delectable  Ruth F. Long wasn't afraid of gore either! The plot was not complex, and it was very easy to read and follow. The romance was clean and enjoyable. I  feel that some things should have been discused/elaberated more in the book, and the ending was cheesy. Although, at some points the vagueness added to the plot... I really enjoyed the story.




The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it. Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. Instead, she's lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack's help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils, and she's faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice--and not just her own.
