Finally available in the U.S., this Canadian bestseller is a romantic and atmospheric tale of two teenage girls caught in the world of Faerie.
When she arrives in Ireland to visit her cousin Findabhair, American Gwen expects a fun backpacking trip to sites of the fairy lore they're both fascinated with. What neither cousin knows is that it's the summer of the Hunter's Moon, a dangerous time for mortals to meddle in the kingdom of Faerie. The girls camp out, and deep in the night Finn is kidnapped by the handsome Faerie king! In Gwen's quest to save her cousin, across beautifully evoked settings of modern-day and mystical Ireland, the spunky heroine's biggest challenge may be convincing Finn she needs to be saved! This is the first in a much-lauded and best-selling series from Canada by O.R. Melling, praised as "great stuff, beautifully told" by the Toronto Sun. It's been updated and expanded and is perfect for teen girls who like the work of Anne Rice, Holly Black, and Annette Curtis Klause.

Hunter's Moon (The Chronicles of Faerie Series)
Gwen and Findabhair are cousins, but most of all, they're best friends. Gwen is from Canada, but she visits Findabhair every summer in Ireland. One particular summer, Gwen comes and they plan a backpacking trip all across Ireland, hitting all the major fantastical sites along the way. They go to the Mound of Hostages (aka supposed entrance to the faerie world) at the Hill of Tara (the ancient capitol of Ireland) and that is where the adventure begins.
I read this book while on a study abroad program in Ireland. Honestly, the cover made it look pretty interesting, plus we were going to be meeting with the author. I figured I'd give it a try even though it was "young adult literature." Once I picked it up, though, I couldn't put it down! O.R. Melling does a fantastic job at weaving a fiction novel with the Celtic myths and the Gaelic language. Her story, as well as her language, are enchanting and pulled me right in.
I would recommend this book for anyone who loves fantasy, mythology, adventure, or even romance.
This book is also the first book in O.R. Melling's series, The Chronicles of Faerie. The second book, The Summer King, is also good, and I am still waiting to get my hands on the third, The Light-Bearer's Daughter.
