That piece of familiar plot was very nice, even if it took dark twists.

The transition between New Jersey and the Otherworld was very well done.But what I really liked about Tithe were all the myths (mostly Celtic) that were woven in the story. It was pretty much a different country with different rules and weirder habitants. The faery world was not a easier world where everyone was super powerful and throwing giant balls of fire around. Going from “our” world into a new, fantastical (and where physics don't usually apply) world doesn't convince me much. Of course she will then enter a world of peril and treason, and learn things about herself that she could never have imagined.The first aspect that I'll like to point out about Tithe is that it is Urban Fantasy. She tries to reconnect with her faery friends, only to discover much has changed. It all changes when she returns to her childhood house, to live with her grandmother. As a teenager she followed her mother in the rockstar lifestyle, spending most of her time in bars or helping her mother sober up, and very little in school. As a child she could see and talk to faeries (even if everyone else though it was her imaginary friends).

Tithe is the story of Kaye, a sixteen-year old whose life has never been normal.
