Lament, The Faery's Queens Deception by Maggie Stafvater

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. Namely, kill Deirdre before her music captures the attention of the Fae and threatens the Queen's sovereignty. Caught in the crossfire with Deirdre is James, her wisecracking but loyal best friend. 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 . . .


This was an amazing story! I would say it's my favorite young adult book about the fae so far. I love how it was wrote and I fell in love with the characters. I want a Luke! I rate this 5 stars. I cannot WAIT for the next book! I'm afraid I'll have a hard time getting into another book now...

Witchling (Book one of Sisters of the Moon) by Yasmine Galenorn

Meet the D'Artigo sisters: half-human, half-faerie, they're savvy-and sexy-operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But their mixed-blood heritage short-circuits their talents at all the wrong times. Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed. Menolly's a vampire who's still trying to get the hang of being undead. And Camille is a wicked-good witch, except her magic's as unpredictable as the weather, as her enemies are about to find out-the hard way.

I thought this was a great book once the story really took off. It probably would have been a 4 1/2 star book but for some reason it took me a little while to get into it (could have been my mood). Once I did get into it I couldn't put this book down. I love all the magic and the strangeness of it all. How often do you run across 3 sisters who are half human, half fae AND a witch, a vampire, and a werecat? Yeah, not too often. I loved all the magical beings and hope that we'll see more then a glimpse of Otherworld in future books. I rate this book 4 stars.

At Grave's End

So far I think this is my favorite of the Night Huntress series. Jeaniene did not disappoint. She really has a way of describing fight scenes that I can picture the whole thing so much better then I can with so many other books. I don't have to skim over them as she makes them much more interesting. I also love that she doesn't end her books with cliffhangers. They have an ending point with the conflict mostly resolved. But you are still anxious for the next one because they are so good.
