Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Maggie Stiefvater

Deirdre Monaghan thought she was just an ordinary teenager who played the harp. But when a mysterious and handsome stranger with a flute comes into her life, Deirdre learns that she is not so ordinary. In fact, she learns that she is a Cloverhand, one who can see the Fey. But this gift does not come without sacrifices and thus Deirdre's journey of danger, love, and strength begins. In this contemporary fairy tale, Deirdre must learn the truth about herself and find strength to survive.

I absolutely LOVED this novel! Maggie Stiefvater does a fantastic job writing this gripping tale of friendship, romance, music, and magic. Every page was thrilling. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning and I didn't put it down until the last page. It was that good. Stiefvater's detailed character development quickly made the story's personalities familiar. Her story captured my attention and flowed effortlessly off the page. I had so much fun reading this book and I will be counting down the days until the sequel, Ballad, is released!!!
