Impossible by Nancy Werlin

Synopsis:
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?

My Review:
I really liked this story! I found out about this book from reading a review in the front cover of another book that which stated “fans of Impossible and Twilight will like this read”. I love Twilight and I did not know what Impossible was about so I decided to check it out from the library. I love the idea of the story coming from an old Scottish song from 1670. I also read the author's note where she described in greater detail where the idea for the story and the characters came from. I love stories that are set in the present, grounded in reality, but there is a magical and mysterious element. The relationships between the characters felt real and it’s a story based on the relationship of all the characters. And most importantly, the message was about love and what that means. It’s a fast read and I do think fans of Twilight would find it an entertaining story.
