The Iron King by Julie Kagawa


Synopsis:
Meghan Chase has a secret destiny - one Snr could never have imagined... something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school... or at home.
When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster  best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change.
But she never could have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now, Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face... and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.


Holy moly. This book took me 5 hours to read. It's a quick, easy read but had a captivating ploy twist and character development. From the synopsis it sounds like a really lame teenage drama but I was literally on the edge of my seat through the whole book. The fantasy is fantastic. And that's saying something because I'm not a huge fantasy fan. I'm usually left with a raised eyebrow of criticism because I can't believe what I'm reading. This book dares you to use your childhood imaginaton as winter and summer collide, dragons and trolls attempt to eat you for lunch and your favorite character is a cat. Seriously glad I had bought the first couple books in this series at the same time.

Note to readers: There is some swearing.

Great read. 7 out of 10. Go get it and enjoy.
