*Starred Review* Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan, a gifted harpist who regularly plays for weddings as well as other events, has got the type of stage fright that makes her physically ill before a performance, that is an inauspicious way to take up a romance; but while vomiting before a contest she meets a gorgeous boy who comes in the restroom to keep her hair. He is Luke Dillon, a flautist who proceeds to accompany her in a truly stellar performance. As four-leaf clovers start appearing everywhere, Deirdre develops telekinetic powers and encounters strange, unworldly individuals who appear to bear her ill will. Her best friend, James, another talented musician; her beloved grandmother; and her mother all will be in danger, as Deirdre is targeted by the queen of Faerie. Deirdre eventually discovers that she is really a cloverhand, a person who is ready to see the denizens of faerie, and Luke, not the one immortal who has her in his sights, is a gallowglass, an assassin assigned through the queen of Faerie to kill Deirdre but who falls for each other with her instead. This beautiful and out-of-the-ordinary debut novel, featuring its authentic depiction of Celtic Faerie lore and dangerous forbidden love in the contemporary American setting, will attract readers of Nancy Werlin’s Impossible (2008) and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Illustrations by Jeffrey are fitting. Grades 9-12. --Diana Tixier Herald

"Vibrant and potent, YA readers looking for faerie stories will likely be happy to locate this accomplished debut novel." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Chock-full with the fierce and the fey, Maggie Stiefvater's Lament is musical, magical, and practically radiating romance. A blood-fresh reinvention of old traditions, perfect for engaging sharp minds and poetic hearts." --Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Tantalize
