The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
5.0
I usually don't write book reviews because I have gotten lazy but I just had to mention how AWESOME this book was to read. This could be because I am a sucker for the fey (hence my profile picture) BUT STILL great book!
I can't wait to read winter's passage next.
The story is easy to follow and the myth of the original stories is explained clearly for those who are not familiar with those types of stories.
LOVE the reference to Midsummer Night's Dream characters....AWESOME. But that is all I was say on the matter. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!
AND THE CAT! OH I AM IN LOVE!
Happy Reading :)

**Only read Beat of Temptation by Nalini Singh**
This story is the BEST short story I have come across by Nalini Singh! For those you are fans of the series the story is about Nate and Tammy (the coolest and most amazing pair out of the DarkRiver pack). It is amazing to finally know their story! It is also great to see characters that don't appear normally in the novels.
For those who have not read the books before this is the perfect story to introduce you to the amazingness that is the psy/changeling series. Nalini again does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life.
Happy Reading!

Ok so I had a few issues with this book...
What I liked about this book:
1. I read it in one day so it was easy enough to know what happens at the end - this book did make me want to know what happened at the end, mostly just prove I was right (refer to my part about what I didn't like)
2. The beginning definitely kick started the story. The first line kickstarted the story so it had me in the first page which is hard for most books
3. The story tackled a few things that have not been tackled in most YA books. Grace wants to commit suicide (you eventually find out why) and she cuts herself throughout the book. This books shows that is self harming is a illness. It shows that sometimes that is a way of coping with the world that is surrounding you
What I didn't like:
1. I knew exactly what the twist was right from the beginning. This kinda made the plot really hard to suprise me. I also knew who Ethan was so for me it was kinda just me reading through trying the story to pretty much confirm what I thought at the beginning.
2. I just could not feel sorry for the main character. I am sorry I really really tried but Grace just whines way too much and in just so self absorbed through out the book...she doesn't even see what is right in front of her (even though I totally could). Her jealousy and issues just grate me the wrong way I guess. Both her and her best friend are just raging alcoholics at the age of 17. That much alcohol cannot be good for you I swear.
For me this book just had a little too many issues for me to really enjoy it. The emotional stuff also took a toll as well just from experience. Others may however enjoy this book much more than I did
Happy Reading!
