Celtic Faerie lore, controlling mother, deceitful aunt, a gorgeous guy, and a cute guy best friend make up the life of Deirdre Monaghan.
Not to mention, her crazy insane (as in good) ability to play the harp. Oh, and she has one resourceful Grandma. Though we can’t say she was very informational or that we are happy about what happens to her.

Amazing! Beautiful, fun and impossible to put down! I have read through this in just a day (thank God my child napped well and I didn't drop the book on the stove because I even read while I cooked! ) I am actually sad I can not force Myself to stay awake long enough to read through Ballad before I turn in. Damn my being out of red bull!

I began reading Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Maggie Stiefvater the day before St. Patrick's Day thinking that the fall of four leaf clovers on the front cover was appropriate for the holiday. I wasn't able to put it down. This book has a pleasant mix of compelling characters and shadowed mystery that kept me reading even when I should have turned the light off for bed (always a sure sign that I'm enjoying a book!).
