There is little I dislike more in a young adult novel than a clumsy romance, and there is one in this book. The events don't seem to make much sense either, with the intimidating Oberon and mischievous Puck of A Midsummer Night's Dream acting all out of character. Equally irritating is the protagonist's tendency to 'make a deal' with all manner of faeries, dryads, cats and nightclub owners (yes, um) - as if giving up bits of yourself and bargaining your future away would solve the world's proble

I liked this book ok. The story was kind of interesting and I loved that she used the fey mythology, but I had an issue with the main character. Meghan is not very compelling, her "normal" life is not described very well, and leaves you with no context for all of her trials.
