Summary: Lucy has nine months to break an ancient curse in order to save both herself and her unborn daughter.
Inspired by the ballad 'Scarborough Fair,'this riveting novel combines suspense, fantasy, and romance for an intensely page-turning and masterfully original tale.
Lucy is seventeen when she discovers that the women of her family have been cursed through the generations, forced to attempt three seemingly impossible tasks or to fall into madness upon their child's birth. But Lucy is the first girl who won't be alone as she tackles the list. She has her fiercely protective foster parents and her childhood friend Zach beside her. Do they have love and strength enough to overcome an age-old evil?

Review: This book was very intriguing. I couldn't put it down and stayed up late to finish it. Although it had some parts that I didn't agree with (abortion/medication and such things) I was very satisfied by the characters and the choices they made. I was in suspense the whole time I was reading but at the same time I didn't want it to end.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars
