A fantasy "shimmering with magic, myth, and romance,"* now available in paperbackGwen travels to Ireland to visit her cousin Findabhair, expecting a summer of backpacking, late nights, and the usual road trip adventures. But when Findabhair is kidnapped by the King of Faerie, Gwen must race to save her cousin before the rise of the Hunter's Moon, when the fairies need a human sacrifice.

(School Library Journal)* from Booklist (starred review) Praise for The Hunter's Moon *"A compelling blend of Irish mythology and geography." - School Library Journal (starred review) "...[This] sensation-loaded celebration of Ireland and Faerie will be a powerful draw for many readers." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

I did not like this book. It had lame characters and a lame plot. The ending is strange, pointless, and confusing. It seemed like one of those horrible books written by a thirteen-year-old who knows nothing about writing a good story. I don't have much else to say about this book. Just don't read it...
3.5 StarsI'm not usually a fan of the fairy genre, but did enjoy this book.
