The Blurb:
Don’t look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them.
That is Ethan Chase’s unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he’d dare to fall for.
Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister’s world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myth and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten.

Mad Musings:
It was so good to return to The Iron Realm.... sooooo good. I missed Megan and Ash and Puck. Although this story isn't really about them. In this new series we meet Megan's little brother Ethan, all grown up into a surly teenager. And boy does he have a chip on his shoulder! It's a good thing he channels that energy through martial arts, or he'd probably explode! (I speak from personal experience here. This is one of the reasons I also enrolled my son into Kung Fu classes. He adores it to this day! Anyways....)
So when this 'bad boy' finally meets a girl he likes and inadvertently has to drag her back into the world he hates so much, one might say it's a life changing experience! Also, meeting Kierran - who, if you don't already know who he is, I won't tell ;)
I just love the way Julie Kagawa builds her worlds: in layers, to be slowly revealed one at a time. She leaves you wanting to know more of the strange and dangerous world of the fae. I wonder if everyone would be guided by Grimalkin and his unique brand of 'helpfulness' upon entry to the faery world? Probably not - he wouldn't have that kind of time, and he wouldn't care all that much anyways...
So my only question is, where can we find a glider of our own? They sound like tremendous fun, just like this book was.
I can't wait to read #2 in the Call of the Forgotten Series: The Iron Traitor. By the way, that book's cover was recently revealed:
This is Kierran, on the cover. Say it isn't so!!!! An iron traitor?!?!? One would hope it would not be from his own choice!! So I guess I have to wait to find out..... *sigh*
**** 4 stars
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Harlequin Teen for review purposes. Thank you!
