Blurb (quoted):
“Sixteen-year-old Dee is a cloverhand – someone who can
see faeries. When she finds herself irresistibly drawn to beautiful, mysterious
Luke, Dee senses that he wants something more dangerous than a summer romance.
But Dee doesn’t realize that Luke is an assassin from the
faerie world.
And she is his next target.”
Opinion:
Okay, so perhaps this is a common sort of storyline – killer
and victim fall in love, etcetera, but this is a whole new spin on ‘romance’.
Having always been a dreamer, this book has certainly spoken to that inner
child of mine that says ‘maybe they do exist…’
This novel was another page-turner, and is yet another of
my favourites. This author – my god can she write romance! If you loved her
novel Shiver, you’re going to adore this.
Maggie weaves magic into her writing so well, and her
descriptions are oh-so-believable. This is a story you won’t want to take your
nose out of – I was so disappointed at finishing it!
Highly recommended, especially for faerie-heads.
