Morrigan by Jonathan King

SPFBO8

Abel Whittaker is sick of his life as a preacher's kid. Between a father who values appearances more than integrity and a religion of rules, he's desperate for freedom. So when the new girl in town suggests they run away together, he jumps at the chance. There's just one problem. She's the Celtic goddess of war. Now Abel and Morrigan are on the run from bloodthirsty gnomes, vampires, and headless horsemen. Not to mention Morrigan's angry adoptive mother, who wants her daughter back and Abel dead. Not exactly the road trip Abel had in mind. And maybe not one he'll survive… Fans of Rick Riordan and Neil Gaiman will love this tale of Celtic gods and monsters in modern day South Carolina, featuring memorable characters, a breakneck pace, and possibly a dead talking fish. Don't miss this epic, magical adventure!
