Riassunto

The battle against goblinkind continues . . . but which side will Teagan be on?

Teagan, Finn, and Aiden have made it out of Mag Mell alive, but the Dark Man’s forces are hot on their heels. Back in Chicago, Tea’s goblin cousins show up at her school, sure she will come back to Mag Mell, as goblin blood is never passive once awoken. Soon she will belong to Fear Doirich and join them. In the meantime, they are happy to entertain themselves by trying to seduce, kidnap, or kill Tea’s family and friends. Tea knows she doesn’t have much time left, and she refuses to leave Finn or her family to be tortured and killed. A wild Stormrider, born to rule and reign, is growing stronger inside her. But as long as she can hold on, she’s still Teagan Wylltson, who plans to be a veterinarian and who heals the sick and hurting. The disease that’s destroying her—that’s destroying them all—has a name: Fear Doirich. And Teagan Wylltson is not going to let him win.

Tyger Tyger: The Goblin Wars, Book One by Kersten HamiltonClarion Books, 2010     ISBN-13: 978-0-547-33008-2

Kirkus starred review 
School Library Journal starred review
"Laced with humor, packed with surprises and driven by suspense, the plot grabs readers from the start using the stylistic tactics of the best fantasy writing. Major characters are beautifully drawn, and many of the secondary characters are equally distinct. Description of geography and care for the small details of worldbuilding contribute to the feeling of reality and make suspension of disbelief easy. The climax and resolution satisfy but leave enough loose threads to fuel sequels. Buy this novel for readers of Franny Billingsley and Dia Calhoun as well as fans of urban fantasy.." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Ancient Irish myths and legends mix and mingle with the modern world in this fast-paced fantasy. . . . Hamilton has created characters who are quirky and complex. Their stories are tightly woven together and riveting, and readers will look forward to the next installment in the series." --School Library Journal, starred review
"If Claude Rains were ordering his men to 'round up the usual YA suspects,' they would come back from scouring the streets of Casablanca with a few truckloads of vampires, werewolves, and angels. No goblins though, but that's only because Kersten Hamilton's Tyger Tyger isn't out yet. This dynamic reimagining . . . [is] loaded with convincing romantic tension, intelligent, three-dimensional characters, and atmospheric dark power. . . . I know which book I'll be handselling with abandon this fall."  --Kenny Brechner of DDG Booksellers, PW Children's Bookshelf Galley Talk
“There's no denying the solid concept or attention to detail present in the overall story. Even the most myth-savvy readers will revel in the clever twists and surprises.” --Publishers Weekly
“The hints of tragic fate will keep romance fans reading, while the promise of more magical thrills . . . will draw in others.” --Booklist
