Tithe

by Holly Black

Our rating

Spice 1/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: barely any. Darkness: dark.

Kaye is a sixteen-year-old living out of her mom's band van in New Jersey, and the faeries who used to visit her as a kid have plans for her. Grungier and more 2002 than The Cruel Prince, but you can see where Jude came from.
