This story is part of a fairy tale retelling series, even though this is a ballad turned into a story. Janet is a local who is just starting college where her father works. She loves books and knows what she wants. She gets paired with some roommates that at first glance you wouldn’t think they would click, but they do. The entire story takes place throughout their college years.
There is an underlying current throughout the story that there is more going on than anyone knows. Which keeps you wanting to keep reading to find out what will happen next. All the characters are beautifully flawed and well developed. The relationships between them all are dynamic and make the story richer for it. I loved this book, and it is one of my go to books to read when I just want to have a good time. If you haven’t read this book, add it to your TBR.

“In the ancient Scottish ballad "Tam Lin," headstrong Janet defies Tam Lin to walk in her own land of Carterhaugh . . . and then must battle the Queen of Faery for possession of her lover’s body and soul. In this version of "Tam Lin," masterfully crafted by Pamela Dean, Janet is a college student, "Carterhaugh" is Carter Hall at the university where her father teaches, and Tam Lin is a boy named Thomas Lane. Set against the backdrop of the early 1970s, imbued with wit, poetry, romance, and magic, Tam Lin has become a cult classic—and once you begin reading, you’ll know why. This reissue features an updated introduction by the book’s original editor, the acclaimed Terri Windling.”
