Back Cover: Don’t you know what
happens to cloverhends who cannot control the fey? Sixteen-year-old Deidre
Monaghan is a prodigiously gifted musician. She’s about to find out she’s also
a cloverhand – one who can see faeries. Unexpectedly, Deirdre finds herself
infatuated with a mysterious boy named Luke who enters her ordinary life,
seemingly out of thin air. But his interest in her might be something darker
than summer romance. When a sinister faerie named Aodhan shows up with deadly
orders from the Faerie Queen, it forces Dee
right into the midst of Faerie. Caught in the crossfire with Deirdre is James,
her wisecracking but loyal best friend. Deirdre had been wishing for summer
weren’t so dull, but taking on a centuries-old Faerie Queen isn’t exactly what
she had in mind.
This is the first book in the
series Books of Faerie. It is the kind of Faerie that was told long ago. It’s
darker than the ones that you normally grew up with. Deirdre is a great harp
musician who turns out to also be a cloverhand. Luke is the mysterious male
that Deirdre can’t stop thinking about. As time goes own strange things keep
happening. This story is amazing. There are so many twists and turns that takes
your breath away. It’s dark and beautiful and I love the story. I am looking
forward to reading the next book in this series, Ballad.
