Deirdre’s ordered existence is thrown into turmoil when inexplicably magical things start happening around her, even as the mysterious, sexy Luke Dillon insinuates himself into her life. Their newfound romance takes a hit when Deirdre discovers she’s a cloverhand, possessed of strange powers and able to see Faeries, and that Luke is a Faerie assassin sent to control or kill her. Now they’re both caught up in a deadly game of political and magical machinations, one which will affect not just Deirdre, but her friends and family as well. Lament is a gorgeous, gripping tale highly reminiscent of Emma Bull, Holly Black, or Charles de Lint, full of magic, music, mystery and romance. With richly-developed characters and an excellent take on the Fae, it makes for great reading. I absolutely loved this book.
