Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand—one who can see faeries. Deirdre finds herself infatuated with a mysterious boy who enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of thin air. Trouble is, the enigmatic and gorgeous Luke turns out to be a gallowglass—a soulless faerie assassin. An equally hunky—and equally dangerous—dark faerie soldier named Aodhan is also stalking Deirdre. Sworn enemies, Luke and Aodhan each have a deadly assignment from the Faerie Queen. Deirdre had been wishing her life weren't so dull, but getting trapped in the middle of a centuries-old faerie war isn't exactly what she had in mind.

Well, who would want to be caught in the middle of a faerie war, not me. Ive been reading so many faerie story's lately I'm half expecting a green pixie to show up in my backyard and ask me to dance.....hopefully that never happens I think I seriously would pee my pants, but those darn faeries they can be so tricky!!

A dark story of the world of Faerie and The Fey, you've heard it before: dark twisted guy with lots of damage meets talented musical human girl......It sounds typical but the story that unfolds was very enthralling had good writing and also some really great creepy parts. The middle of the night bedroom scene...(scary)...It was a bit strange in parts I didn't really get how Luke just shows up...also the only part of the book I didn't like was Deirdre's reactions to some dramatic events, I thought she lacked some depth, and the response to me was distant. Otherwise the plot was good, the writing flowed well and the storyline held my interest.

4/5 YA Faerie/Fantasy
