Publisher Description
Their love was meant to be.
When Megan Rosenberg moves to Ireland, everything in her life seems to fall into place. After growing up in America, she's surprised to find herself feeling at home in her new school. She connects with a group of friends, and she is instantly drawn to darkly handsome Adam DeRÃs.
But Megan is about to discover that her feelings for Adam are tied to a fate that was sealed long ago—and that the passion and power that brought them together could be their ultimate destruction.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fallon's debut novel, first published on the HarperCollins online writing community inkpop.com and then selected for print, is a better-than-average offering that occasionally betrays its amateur roots with some uneven pacing. The setup is familiar and briskly handled: 17-year-old Megan Rosenberg has moved to Kinsale, Ireland, with her father after several unsettled years following the death of Megan's mother. Megan fits right in with the popular crowd at her new school, but a broodingly handsome boy, Adam DeR s, keeps staring at her, and Megan stares right back, despite her friends' warnings. Several chapters of teenage day-in-the-life narration ensue before Fallon suddenly dumps mysterious marks, elemental forces, and the Celtic goddess Danu into the mix, and the story takes off in a paranormal direction that the first third of the book has only hinted at. The intense, immediate romance between Megan and Adam remains the focus and the main draw. It's an engaging story, heavy on the "snogging" and light on the mystical perils, from an author likely to improve with time. Ages 13 up.

I could not put this book down!! I loved everything about it setting,characters,plot etc... If you love twilight, hunger games, last air bender!! This is definetly a great book for you!!
Couldn't stay away
This was like the best book I ever read
A little disappointed
So the story line was strong and amazing. However the build up to the climax of the story was soooo good I was anticipating something huge. However I got the opposite. I feel the book could have been written better in that area. But the rest I enjoyed.
