Ink Exchange, the companion novel to Wicked Lovely was released April 29th, 2008. Ink Exchange debuted on the NYT Bestseller list at #8, and is in at least it's third printing. It is availabe in stores in the US and Canada, or you can order it at right.
Ink Exchange is more of a 'companion novel' than a 'proper' sequel. It features the courts and is set in Huntsdale, but Ash & co. are not the main focus, as the Dark Court is at the center of the book. A Wicked Lovely sequel will be released in a third book, currently untitled. (Though both 'Moon Slivers' and 'Enthralled' have bee considered and rejected as possible titles)
Ink Exchange features Leslie, Ash's friend from Wicked Lovely, Irial, the king of the Dark Court, and Niall, Keenan's adviser in Wicked Lovely.

From the cover flap:
"Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance between the Faerie Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly-vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.
17-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.
The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind that Leslie had dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faerie world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils.
Melissa Marr continues her tales of Faerie in a dark, ravishing story of temptation and consequences, and of heroism when least expected. "
