I had high hopes for this fairy tale about a fifteen year old girl returning to Ireland to live in a house dug into the ground. She has strange powers that link her to the fairy lands and has to learn to use those powers to fight a dangerous force with the help of a boy she feels as if she has known forever. I liked the idea a bit more than the book itself. It is written in very flowery language that is sometimes very beautiful but also often gets in the way of the story itself. I loved the Irish setting and Clare's relationship with her father but I really had a hard time getting into the story and found myself setting it down often without a real urge to pick it up again. I think that some people will really love this book and I definitely understand but it is maybe not the right book for me. I received an ARC of this book from Penguin's First to Read Program in exchange for an honest review.
