Publisher Description

"Romantic, suspenseful, and witty all at once—Alice in Wonderland meets Neverwhere."—Claudia Gray, New York Times bestselling author of the Evernight series

In Selkie's family, you don't celebrate birthdays. You don't talk about birthdays. And you never, ever reveal your birth date.

Until now.

On Selkie's seventeenth birthday, Selkie finally understands why. All she wanted a simple "Happy Birthday" from her secret crush, Ben. But the instant she blurts out the truth, her whole world shatters.

Because the world she's known is only an elaborate enchantment designed to conceal the truth: Selkie is a half-faerie princess. And her mother wants her dead.

The faerie court believes Selkie is a child of prophecy—fated to destroy the court's powerful grip on the supernatural world. And the only way for Selkie to survive…is to prove them right.

Exceptionally Magic

I read the novella that takes place pretty much right before this book and I wanted to read more. I had high expectations for this. The premise sounded really cool and the involvement of the fay. Some plot elements were a bit hard to follow along with. The idea that time can be a second or a hundred years kept dragging away from me. The primary characters were developed pretty well. My biggest complaint would be that at the end Ben and Selkie just sort of fall apart, their entire character up to that point gets shattered. It felt too sudden and too convenient for Ben to leave the picture. I would have liked more of a build up. There was a lot of whimsical fancy in this book that kept me interested though. I'll be continuing the story in the next novella and the concluding novel. I hope that the characters are able to be put back together after that dramatic ending.
