Supernatural Freak by Louisa Klein
When paranormal expert Robyn Wise if offered an outrageous sum of money to cure a boy who is turning into a dead tree, she’s very skeptical. A politician ready to pay that much to make his son stop growing branches instead of hair? Come on! She’s more likely to be abducted by aliens. This is a trap. Or something much worse. And, of course, it’s much worse.
The child is turning into a dark portal, created by a powerful entity determined to absorb Fairyland’s power. This means that not only queen Titania and her court are in danger, but the very balance of the magic fluxes.
Robyn’d rather stick a pencil in her own eye but to learn how to destroy the portal, she has to sneak into the Wizardry Council, a place full of wizards who are hiding something – though it’s certainly not their dislike of her.
There, she discovers a terrible secret that could help overthrow Fairyland’s enemies for good, but puts her in the midst of an ancient and deadly war, and not as a bystander, but as the main target.
Surprisingly this book doesn't have any reviews on Goodreads. As I started looking for links I realized why, it's impossible to find. I checked Amazon, BN, Smashwords, and Book Depository. It's a mystery. This is a great cover though, I love how the gold touches tie everything together. And I'm not sure how the birds play into the plot (if at all) but it's a beautiful contrast against her pale skin. It also adds to the supernatural look of the model.
