American Gwen and her Irish cousin, Findabhair, have long planned this summer of backpacking around Ireland, visiting sites out of the old legends of fairy folk. Little do they know that it is the summer of the Hunter's Moon, a dangerous time for mortals who meddle with the kingdom of Faerie. One night camping out on old ruins, Finn is kidnapped by the Faerie king, who wants her for a bride and possible sacrifice. It is up to Gwen, the more indecisive of the two, to rescue her cousin. Beautifully written, romantic, exciting, and evocative of both modern-day and mystical Ireland, this is a treat for girl fantasy readers.

See my review at Great Imaginations!I love old-school faeries. The ones that treasure murder and riddles with the same level of adoration and intrigue.

I was trolling the stacks at the library, looking for a book to satisfy a mythology/folklore part of a challenge when this book called my name. I love faeries, werewolves, vampires, wizards, and all things urban fantasy. In addition, I have always had a burning curiosity about all things Irish. T...
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.
