Three teens discover that they are fay (fairy) changelings and react, respectively, with fear, denial, and greed as they learn about their powers and responsibilities. Though first novelist Smith loses momentum by withholding too much information for too long, her dark-edged fay underworld, rife with sexual undertones and drug use, will appeal to fans of Holly Black and Melissa Marr.

Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Deadly Diseases and Epidemics titles: Infectious Diseases of the Mouth, Trypanosomiasis, and Streptococcus (Group B).
