Summer's Crossing by Julie Kagawa

What the back of the book says:
"A Midsummer's Nightmare? Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Summer Court prankster, King Oberon's right hand, bane of many a faery queen's existence - and secret friend to Prince Ash of the Winter Court. Until one girl's death came between them, and another girl stole both their hearts.
Now Ash has granted one favor too many and someone's come to collect, forcing the prince to a place he cannot go without Puck's help - into the heart of the Summer Court. And Puck faces the ultimate choice - betray Ash and possibly win the girl they both love, or help his former friend turned bitter enemy pull off a deception that no true faery prankster could possibly resist."

What I have to say about it:
I had a complete brain fart yesterday. I knew this was coming out and it wasn't until I was sitting there, waiting for a class to start, that I remembered. And then I thanked God for my Nook, since I was able to get it about 2 seconds later. The story itself was short and sweet. I love Puck and Ash, though Grim was sadly missing, and for 53 pages, I was enthralled. The story was amusing, I found myself on the receiving end of a couple funny looks in class. As usual, Kagawa gives just enough twists to keep you wondering what will happen next. The ending may not have been a shocker, but the route to it was.
So, does Puck betray Ash? I guess you should just read it and find out!
