Brought up among the Gentry, Jude has never felt at ease, but after a decade, Faerie has become her home despite the constant peril. Human Jude (whose brown hair curls and whose skin color is never described) both hates and loves Madoc, whose murderous nature is true to his Faerie self and who in his way loves her. Jude-broken, rebuilt, fueled by anger and a sense of powerlessness-has never recovered from watching her adoptive Faerie father murder her parents. Told in chapters alternately focusing on the present day, narrated in the first person, and flashbacks told in the third person, the story will captivate readers and keep them turning pages until its satisfying conclusion.Īn enjoyable, suspenseful modern take on Jewish folklore.īlack is back with another dark tale of Faerie, this one set in Faerie and launching a new trilogy. Based on Jewish folklore, this contemporary fantasy is a thrilling story of family, supernatural monsters, fabled heroes, and first love. Together they journey to their mother’s hometown of Fox Hollow, New York, and with the help of their new friend, Ari Leydon, whose family is connected to theirs, activate a golem to help them on their quest to break the curse and find their mother. When their mother disappears after disclosing that their family is actually Jewish, Hannah and Gabe take matters into their own hands. Unfortunately, when Hannah wakes up stricken by a centuries-old curse, a normal summer, let alone school year, is out of the question.
When they land in Jamaica Plain, Hannah insists they stay so she can have some semblance of normality and a chance of academic success at Winthrop Academy, where she attends on scholarship. Hannah and her older brother, Gabe, have been moving around from state to state most of their lives their mother never could manage to stay in the same place for long.
Hannah Kowalski is a normal teenage girl.at least, until she wakes up on her 17th birthday with snake eyes.
