This reads like a typical summer vacation for teens. Deidre Monaghan and BF James are inseparable until Luke Dillon literally walks out of her dreams. Deidre didn't think there was anything strange about his sudden appearance. But when four-leaf clovers started popping up all over the place, Luke surely knew something was wrong. There is definitely something different about Luke but Deidre doesn't seem to mind and falls for him anyway. It isn't until the last third of the book, when the Queen and her evil faeries enter the picture and start causing mayhem to Deidre's family, that she finally gets a clue.

There really isn't anything new in this novel but it is enjoyable nonetheless. I really liked Luke and Deidre and am interested in their further adventures. I particularly liked the line: Delia was an overbearing cake with condescending frosting and frankly, I was on a diet.
