Thanks for adding this! :o)

I'm not entirely certain if it would be something your student would like, as for me, Fairy and Fey aren't necessarily mutual topics...

However, Jenna Black has a young adult series : Faeriewalker

Jax, thank you. These books look like a good series.

What is the difference between fairies and fey? I have NO clue!

LOL...
Maybe its just me - but when ppl refer to fairies, my mind goes to Enid Blyton and Disney's Tinkerbell... LOL
Cute, inch tall with wings...

Whereas the Fey have all manner of mythological beings;
Goblins, RedHats, Elves, Pixies, Brownies,Kelpies etc - and then either the Summer and Winter Courts or similar. :D

That sounds about right. And I've been told that fairies are the Tinkerbelle type, but faeries are the not-so-nice ones! ;-)

oooh! There are quite a few "goodies"!! :D
I'm not sure I'd recommend for under 16's, but
Raymond E. Feist wrote " Faerie Tale" Which was fantastic.
Thereafter, most Fey stories seem to end up in the PNR and UF genre...
Authors of Fey Books include:
Jenna Black| Nicole Peeler | Laurel K. Hamilton (definitely over 18's only!!) | Seanan McGuire...

Just to name a few... :D

I could do with a good book series to read! Here are my preferences:

- Must have a strong female/male character
- Should have the first 3 books written in the seires so I can get the jist of the series
- It should be set in a dystopian/paranormal area
- The author has to be known to the world.

I know my preferences are sort of tough but I am quite picky when it comes to book series.

Thanks for the help!;)
