I fairly enjoyed the book. However, it is definitely not suitable for Grades 6 and up since it talked of rape.

Lucy has just approximately 9 months to break her family curse or else her daughter will have the same fate as the previous women in the family. To break the curse, Lucy must complete 3 impossible task and free her family from the clutches of the Elfin Knight.

I loved how the book was inspired by the lyrics of the song, "Scarborough Fair." However I would have liked the relationship between Zach and Lucy be further developed. It was somewhat unbelievable seeing as how they got married early in the novel, even though they are childhood friends. The book also got a little predictable toward the end and the birth of Lucy's daughter, Dawn, was completely unrealistic.

Lucy was rather non-complex compared to some other minor characters. I feel as though her mother, Miranda, was rather interesting to read as well as Zach.

I think it would have been better if the novel was targeted to an older audience to make things more believable. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend this book to those interested in an fantasy book with a bit of adventure
