If you've never read a book about fairies, I wouldn't start with this one. Also, if you only like happy, sweet fairies (do those even exist?) then this also is not the series for you. 
This is the second book in the Call duology. It tells the story of the Sidhe (fairies) and how they were banished to another world when the Irish took Ireland from them. 25 years ago they began "Calling" teenagers to the greyland where they are now banished. Many do not return alive, none return the same. 
These books are really good, but really dark! They reveal more of the deceptive, evil side of fairies that is many times glanced over. There is a significant amount of cursing, but they are in life/death situations so it doesn't bother me as bad. 
I would only recommend for those who like dark (grim?) fantasy.
