It took me a while to get into this one. To be honest, I didn't really like it much at first and wasn't sure I'd even be able to participate in the tour because I didn't think I was going to be able to finish it. But I'm glad I did! The book improved vastly as it developed and I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I think this series has great potential.
My main issue was the inability to connect. Greta wasn't a spectacular lead, but she wasn't a terrible one, either - I just couldn't connect with her in any way. Isaac was a different story! I loved him from the minute he made his first appearance, and it was mostly him that made me want to continue reading in the beginning. *swoon* I didn't understand Greta's apathy toward him, though. This really irked me, especially as the story went on and Isaac STILL had not shown any reason to fuel her mistrust. In fact, he was quite sweet to her; a bit aloof and tough sometimes, but he was never cruel to her in any way. So I failed to see why she had such a problem with him and kept harping on how he couldn't be trusted because he was manipulative and how he was a jerk and crap about the games he plays and blah, blah, blah. He seemed like a pretty nice guy to me. And sexy, too! Forget that silly Greta, Isaac, you can visit ME in my dreams anytime! ;)
There was kind of a love triangle, but thankfully it didn't really develop all the way. Wyatt never really stood a chance. Not for me, at least! Sorry, Wyatt. You just don't compare to Isaac...
I enjoyed the setting: Mylena. An indifferent frozen landscape, harsh to humans. Full of goblins, gnomes, fairies, ghouls, and the such. I was a bit confused at first with the raw phase and the 'transformation' because it wasn't explained until later, but the world building was decent. I actually liked the premise a lot.
The ending was good, too, albeit a bit rushed. The whole book had built up to it with all the talk about the mysterious Agramon, and he didn't have hardly any part at all. However I did like how Greta finally opened her eyes in the end. Took damn long enough! And the last thing Isaac says to her...*dreamy sigh*
Favorite quotes:
"You can put up walls, Greta, but sooner or later, I'll break down every last one. There won't be any secret you can keep or any part of you I don't know..." he leaned forward, his voice lowering to a whisper. "Intimately."
"Stubborn human. I will find you."
"Arrogant goblin. I dare you."
Favorite character: Isaac!

Greta is a human girl living in Mylena, a world of goblins, faeries, gnomes ect. Its also very dangerous for humans because they are blamed for the winter curse upon the land. Four years ago, 13 year old Greta saved her little brother from a witch's fire but fell through a portal and has been concealing her identity ever since. Greta was taken in by a bounty hunter Luke, an earth sprite, who trained her. But his death reveals that a demon is after her.
Isaac is King of the Goblins. He tricked Greta into saying his name and now he stalks her in both her dreams and in person. Greta is drawn to him but fears that when he figures out that she's human he won't want her anymore. Plus she finds other humans in Mylena for the first time and they need her help to get home.
This book was such a mixed bag for me. I loved parts of it and had a lot of issues with the rest. *(spoilers all over the place)*
I loved the world building. The goblins and gnomes and faeries and sprites. I liked that they lived together but separately in their own kingdoms. I liked that they weren't cute. The fairies are beautiful but deadly, same with the goblins. I did want to know more about who the world works. For someone who has been living in Mylena for 4 years Greta sure doesn't know anything about it or if she did she didn't share. I wish that she had so that we could understand a least how the whole goblin monarchy thing worked.
I loved that Greta was tall. The standard seems to be short, petite, wispy girls and for Greta to survive to this world she can’t be. Also she’s a bounty hunter and she fights all the time. That was awesome. I also really really liked her name. Greta is an old name and seemed to fit into the world Mylena.
I liked that Greta was strong. She made decisions and then stood by them. She tried to fix things and had a code.
I liked Isaac. I think that he was an interesting character and I really would have liked way way more of his back story. I was sad when Luke died, because I really really wanted to spend more time with him. Siona ended up being one of my favorites. I was so happy she didn't die and I hope that we get more time with her in the next book.
So I felt that things that were important were glossed over and little things that didn't seem to matter got a lot of time. I felt the ending was rushed (so so rushed). Sometimes I didn't quite understand what was going on and it was never explained. Greta would all of a sudden know things but it was never explained to the reader.
Frankly the thing with Isaac drove me nuts. (while Greta’s name seems to fit into this old world, Isaac doesn't fit as well.) Isaac shows up in Greta’s dreams, which isn't explained very well. Did they meet by accident before Isaac was king. How long has her been King, a week? If no one has figured out that she’s human for 4 years and then Isaac sees it in one dream and then he’s king a week later? But how did he get her to say his name. That whole thing confused me. I couldn't figure out the timeline and if it’s a king power to be in his subject’s minds then that whole thing happened after he became king but he was king after he figure out what she was… I don’t know it keeps going in circles.
Also Greta made her wish (which makes no sense) and what are the consequences of it? Does she get more than 1?
The thing with Wyatt drove also me nuts. So Greta and Isaac have chemistry. It scares her. Plus she wants to go home. So along come Wyatt. He’s human. He’s cute. He has taken responsibility for a bunch of lost boys. And he doesn't challenge her the way Isaac does. Wyatt lets her do what she wants. Wyatt is easy. Isaac makes Greta think about hard things and that maybe she’s wrong. So she doesn't tell Wyatt about the goblin king and lets him kiss her and then she leaves. And he just lets her. WTF.

After four long years in trapped in the world of Mylena, seventeen-year-old Greta has become an expert at hiding her humanity. She has to if she wants to survive. Human's aren't welcome on Mylena where goblins, sprites, ghouls and other creatures all blame humans for ruining leaving their world in perpetual winter.
Work as a bounty hunter in Mylena is not easy. Especially for a human pretending to be something she's not. But it gives Greta access to the caves that she knows transported her to Mylena when she tried to save her brother from a fire all those years ago.
Keeping a low profile in Mylena is simple until Greta catches the attention of a strange young man who appears in her dreams. It becomes impossible when that same young man turns out to be Isaac, the new goblin king.
When Greta's secret threatens to come out, it becomes obvious that Greta is part of someone's plan to open a new portal out of Mylena. The only problems are Greta doesn't know where that someone is and she doesn't know who she can trust in Greta and the Goblin King (2012) by Chloe Jacobs.
Greta and the Goblin King is Jacobs' first novel and the start of her Mylena Chronicles trilogy.
This book is an incredibly loose retelling of the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" in that Greta sort of sounds like Gretel, there is a fire, and Greta has a brother. In some sense this could be an alternate version of the fairy tale or even a continuation but again these connections are loose enough that it's easier to just call Greta and the Goblin King a unique fantasy.
Greta is a tough-talking heroine who relies on herself and no one else. She does not tolerate fools, posers, or anyone who might underestimate her. Consequently she is also brusque and rash throughout the novel as her pride often prevents Greta from asking for the help she obviously (desperately) needs.
Isaac, by contrast, is remarkably level-headed despite being a goblin who could revert to his baser form (sort of like a werewolf) at the next eclipse. He's an interesting foil for Greta and also, much to her dismay, a strong ally. There's also just something entertaining about a goblin being the male lead in a paranormal romance. While Greta and Isaac are fun characters separately, their romance is problematic with a lot of it hinging on Isaac "claiming" Greta as "his" to keep her safe.
The world building here is messy. Some aspects of Mylena--such as why most creatures are essentially humanoid--are neatly explained while others--including how Greta is in Mylena at all and why a goblin on another world would be named Isaac--are tidily ignored.
Greta and the Goblin King is an interesting if not perfect novel. Recommended for readers looking for a fun new retelling/romance after reading the obvious suspects. Ideal for readers who are enjoy lots of action with minimal background.

Argh, why didn't I love you, Greta?! All the right ingredients were present to create a book I would love, but for whatever reason I just didn't engage. I wonder if it was the decision to begin in medias res that caused the disconnect - the setup is clever but a LOT happens prior to this story kicking off and maybe I suffered to get on board as a result.
This book is AMAZING. Seriously amazing. I was literally unable to put it down. The opening scene grabbed me and I never had a chance to catch my breath. I love Greta. She's a badass. Her voice is engaging and she has some great lines. And Isaac. Whoo, boy. He's charming and a bit of a flirt, but he's also strong and protective but still willing to let Greta take care of herself. He could easily have made her weak but doesn't. And I loved the tension between the two. They have history and the fact that Greta is human is a problem. Since he's the king, it's imperative that he not find out that little tidbit or he'd have to kill her. I highly recommend this for readers who love fast-paced action, strong heroines, and a killer romance.
It was good. Review to come soon

This novel is a good start to a new trilogy, although I do have a couple of issues with it.
The story was a bit too fast-paced and I often found myself backtracking a few pages to see if I maybe missed something. I would have liked more backstory, instead of just vague references. For instance, Greta and Isaac’s first meeting. I think if the meeting was actually written into the book as part of the story, instead of just off-handedly mentioned a few times, that their romance would make more sense to me as a reader. She said his name and suddenly he is able to get into her head? Why exactly is this?
Also why exactly did Isaac change into such a diplomatic ass when he took over the role of Goblin King? He could’ve been his friendly self with Greta at least.
Now to get to Greta, I really didn’t get her some of the time. She’s supposed to be this strong female bounty hunter, but she has such massive mood swings that I began to think she was a twelve-year old heroine, instead of a seventeen-year old kick-ass bounty hunter. She hates Isaac one minute, and then she likes him within a split second, and then all of a sudden she likes him again.
Then she meets up with this bunch of human Lost Boys in the woods and all of a sudden she’s attracted to the leader of the pack. And now, another thing that really bothered me, if a seventeen-year old human girl just happens to stumble upon a group of human boys, with two or three of them smack in the middle of puberty, who haven’t seen a human girl in year, shouldn’t she at least be a little bit wary? Does she automatically trust the group of boys because they are human?
Also, what of Luke? Why would he provide shelter for a human, and teach her everything he had, if the whole planet thought humans were the reason for Mylena’s curse?
But except for all of that, I really did enjoy this book. It had some promising moments, and I always like reading about girls who can work a sword or a dagger, or well any kind of weapon.
It seems to be a good start to a trilogy that might just surprise us all.

Quick Review...for when I don't have a lot to say...
I wasn't sure about this book, because of the cover. It kind of has a weird-looking cover to me; almost a graphic novel feel. I don't do graphic novels. When the library bought it though, I decided to give it a shot.
I was pleasantly surprised by it. It had quite a nice story and I liked the characters. It was a pretty unique plotline, and I really appreciate that. Also, Isaac just sounds hot. Except for maybe when he's in uber-goblin mode, and then I'm pretty sure I don't want anything to do with him.
Greta was a very strong character. I liked her a lot. She was tougher than tough, but also still very much in touch with her feelings and emotions. I like that her hard life hadn't burned the compassion out of her. I like that she tried so hard to save her brother and took his place in Mylena. I like that she was willing to put herself on the line to help others - even those she didn't know and didn't even particularly like.
The eclipse was fascinating. I liked the idea that, for the most part, the creatures of Mylena were pretty civilized. When that eclipse comes though, all bets are off. The normally thinking creatures become feral, and the normally feral creatures become nightmarish. I really liked the added danger of the eclipse.
All in all, a fun read and one that I might buy for my personal library at some point.

See this review in its natural environment, Dani Reviews Things.
I received this book for free from YaReads Blog Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I had a lot of fun reading Greta and the Goblin King! Admittedly, as I've said before, fantasy is my weakness, especially when it involves faeries and goblins and the like. That being said, I haven't read many books about goblins, especially handsome ones, so this was a new little adventure for me!
Greta kicks things off with a bounty hunting job, going off to find a young goblin boy who'd been kidnapped by a ghoul. She's joined by Isaac, the newly crowned goblin king – and the one guy she doesn't want hanging around. It turns out, Isaac is able to infiltrate her dreams, and he's getting a bit too close to her secret – that she's human and the one species that everyone on this world she was shoved into four years prior hates with a passion. After helping her home following the rescue mission, she discovers that the only safe place she knew in the world wasn't all that safe, but not wanting to trust Isaac, she decides to head off on her own to find the biggest baddie in bad town.
SIGH. Stubborn girl.
One thing I really loved about this world is the concept of natural and raw states. All of the magical species in the world have two states, influenced by the moon (and strong emotions). When the world experiences an eclipse of the two moons and suns (yes, two of each!), all hell breaks loose, with everyone turning into their more monstrous forms. AKA pretty certain death for humans. This added some extra time pressure and anxiety to the book, especially towards the end.
The characters varied in depth, but I did like the lost boys, especially little Jacob. There were times when I could relate to Greta, but other times, I just wanted to shake her. She was so untrusting.
The relationship with Isaac was a given from the very beginning. Hell, you could just read the blurb to see it was coming. I'll admit, I did find it quite intoxicating at times, with a lot of banter and rather heart-stopping dream scenes. Plus, while Isaac wasn't really a 'bad boy', he had the whole scary raw-state goblin thing to give him an element of danger. I just wish I could imagine him a bit better; we got a lot of clues to his physical appearance, but there was just something missing.
Oh, and there's a love triangle thing. In case that's something you want to know.
Overall, I would look out for more reviews of the rest of the series soon, as I'm going after them!!!
