"Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme....." The old folk ballad is at the heart of this modern tale of a 17-year-old high school Junior whose ordinary life is ended with a date to Prom, a rape, and the discovery that she is one of a long line of women doomed to bear a child and live the rest of her life insane. The fairie king responsible for her fate has her in his sights and is looking forward to breaking her fighting spirit. Lucy has nine months to fullfill the terms of the curse or fall prey to her magical stalker.
Nancy Werlin is an author that I enjoy reading, and this newest book is as good or better than anything I've read of hers. Impossible to put down.
