It comes as a bit of a shock to Meghan Chase to discover she is in fact the daughter of a faery king. She has enough going on in her life, especially the need to keep a low profile at school, that she is not interested in claiming her legacy. That is, until her younger brother Ethan is kidnapped and the only way to get him back is to head off into Faery with Robbie Goodfell, her supposed 'friend' turned minder. All the familiar features of Faery are there - the Erlking, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts and scary Queen Mab.
This is an intriguing story that moves along at a fast past. It is particularly interesting because Meghan keeps entering and leaving Faery making it all the more believable because normal familiar places and routines are there as well as those of Faery.
Who would enjoy this? If you have enjoyed reading about the Faery world in other books (especially Jenna Black's Glimmerglass series), you will enjoy this author's take on Faery conventions. Meghan is a character you feel that you could bump into at school tomorrow, so her story really captures your imagination and you want to find out what could possibly happen to her next.
