This is the perfect kind of book for a hot July afternoon spent inside, lost in fantasy. The author, O.R. Melling knows her Irish legends and lore and knows modern Ireland as well. The main characters in The summer king flip back and forth between modern day Ireland locations and Faerie with ease, taking the reader along for a fast ride. The plot concerns twin American teens Laurel and Honor. As the book opens Honor is dead, having fallen off a cliff the previous summer while tracking a faerie being near their grandparents' home in Ireland. Laurel is now returning to Ireland searching for answers to her sister's mysterious death. The search sweeps her into the alternate reality of Faerie, full of beutiful and dangerous beings who care little for the humans they encounter. But where Laurel and Honor find love as well...
