Poison by Chris Wooding
Poison is a cynical girl who doesn’t believe in fairy tales. But when her little sister Azalea is stolen by the evil Scarecrow and replaced with a black-eyed changeling, Poison is willing to do whatever it takes - even travel to the world of Phaerie - to get her back. But the further into Phaerie she goes - past the Bone Witch, the Spider Queen, even the flame-haired, fickle-hearted Lord of Phaerie himself, the more she despairs of ever finding her sister. And then she discovers a plot so diabolical, so gruesome, that it will turn upside down and inside out everything she knew to be good and true - forever. Just the way author Chris Wooding takes everything YOU know about the tired fractured fairy take genre and turns into something so new and different, you’ll be imbibing Poison on a regular basis!

Well, it’s kind of a meta-fiction about fairy tale conventions. But if you read it, you’ll be able to come back and tell me!
