Celtic Faerie lore, controlling mother, deceitful aunt, a gorgeous guy, and a cute guy best friend make up the life of Deirdre Monaghan.

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!).
I recommend Lament to fans of young adult, fantasy, and paranormal rom
