Figurative Language:
1. "Tap": Onomatopoeia, because the word represent the sound that the author was describing.
2. "...his hair shimmered like stands of copper that would slice her skin..." : Simile, because the author used like to compare his hair and stands of copper.
3. "...shadows that danced under icy trees..." : personification, because shadows are lifeless and the author used ‘danced’ to give it human characteristics.

Quote:
"She wanted to speak, to tell the faeries to leave so she didn't have to, but she couldn't. Ever. If she did, they'd know her secret: they'd know she could see them" (6).
This is a very significant quote because it basically explained what the story is about: a girl who can see faeries while everyone else can't, and it is dangerous for the faeries to know that one can see them.

Theme:
I think that the them of this book so far is that it is often easier to tell people what is bothering you rather than keeping everything to yourself. The theme is applied when Seth was trying to let Aislinn to tell what's worrying her so she can feel better.
