Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her. Worse, Meghan s own fey powers have been cut off. She s stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can t help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.

Bailed at page 60.
One of my New Year's Resolution that I seem to be sticking to is that I no longer continue to read books that are just a complete drag. Both of the books I rated two stars or less in January this year I bailed on after sampling quite enough of them. I know some people advocate 100 pages, but I'm not really inclined to even get to that part of the book. Don't worry, I will try to finish most of the books I read, but I just couldn't be bothered with this one.
Around 9 months has passed since I read The Iron King, and I was hesitant to continue. The titles are so similar and for ages, I had no freaking clue which book to read next in this series. Because of all the in-between e-books that have been released, searching for this series on the Kindle store was a bit of a mess. I also didn't quite enjoy The Iron King as much as I had hoped for it, so it was with a cautious hand that I decided to pick up The Iron Daughter.
At the end of the last book, Meghan winds up contracting Ash to save her, and her character does a complete 180. All of a sudden, she's head-over-heels for Ash and heartbroken over his indifference to her. You see, he's the prince of the Winter Court, and naturally his demeanour is going to be ice cold. (Yes, I thought of Mr. Freeze for a while too.)
So, Meghan is brought to the castle of the Winter Court, and Queen Mab proceeds to be mean to her. Also, she WAAANGSTS for an eternity about how Ash no longer loves her, even though they had such a special bond when he killed some wolf that King Oberon sent to bring her back to the Summer Court? I don't know.
"You're playing with fire, you know that?"
"That's weird, considering you're an ice prin-" I didn't get any further, as Ash leaned down and kissed me.... Read more ›

In this second installement of the Iron Fey series, we return to the world of the NeverNever in order for Meghan to fulfill her contract. You may remember from the previous books (and the short novella inbetween the first and second books - Winter's Passage) that Meghan made a deal with the Unseelie, or winter, prince Ash that if he helped her to rescue her brother from the Iron King, Machina, she would go with him to the winter court without trouble.
Well now Meghan has to keep that promise and she's not too happy about it. The Winter Court and ruler, Queen Mab, is just a little too frosty for her liking. But more than that Queen Mab is a cruel queen with every intention of making Meghan's stay as awful as possible; with the help of Ash's two brothers. As if that wasn't bad enough, now Prince Ash, the guy she thought loved her, wants nothing to do with her and makes no secret of it.
The story really kicks off when the Iron Fey infiltrate the Winter Court leaving casualties behind and stealing the Sceptre of the Seasons (This Sceptre has infinite power to those who control it and is passed between the winter and summer courts at the passing of the seasons). The problem is, nobody believes her; the Iron Fey are not thought to exist by the Winter and Summer Courts. I don't want to give too much away but from this point we see Meghan set off on her most challenging adventure yet to reclaim the Sceptre and prove her honesty.
So who will help her? Well along the way we revisit Grimalkin, the witty and slightly grumpy cat, who I was thrilled to read more about! Additionally, we of course learn about the fate of Robin "Puck" GoodFellow, who after the previous book was left injured and recovering. I really like the characters in this book.... Read more ›

second book of four .... Let me start by saying that I don't really like fairy books and was bought the set as a present from my children. However, I was quite surprised at how good these books actually were! If you like adventure with a touch of romance then read these books. They certainly keep you up until early hours of the morning. It keeps you in suspence not just about the forbidden love but with the events that unfold. They are written in the first person. I'm not going to write a review because it's already been done. I luv the third book in the series called Iron Queen best of all. Iron Queen gives closure on the events in the first two books and a romance simmering in the background. Then you have to read the final book called the Iron Knight which is written in the first person 'Ash', which is about his journey to receive a 'soul' so that he can be with the Iron Queen, the love of his life who lives in the Iron Realm where he can not go without dying. In parts of the books, the context is a little immature and you can tell it's written for young adults, but I enjoyed them all the same ...............good teen and adult book collection not to be missed!

The Iron Daughter had me crying, laughing, smiling, irritated, annoyed and so completely messed up I couldn't get to sleep! I recommend this to everyone who loves a good twisted romance!
The characters. Wow, the characters...They were brilliant! I fell in love with all of them. Meghan, she's definitely got stronger as a person and as a fey! I'm incredibly jealous of her. She's got such a nice boy, who loves her and would do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING for her! Now, everyone who's read The Iron King knows who I'm talking about, right? ASH! PRINCE ASH! PRINCE FLAMING ASH, OF COURSE! Sigh, he's such an amazing character to read about. Totally swoon-worthy. Unfortunately, (My darling) Ash had some competition. You want to know who it is? Read the book. Sorry guys, I can't tell you, it would be spoiling it for you.
I fell in love with some unexpected characters. Iron Horse? Wow, I never expected him! As you read about him, you realize that he does have a heart, that just because he's made of iron doesn't mean he's unbreakable. Puck, Meghan's best friend, was charming and funny as usual, always trying to lighten the mood with his jokes and opinions! But...we saw a different side to him in this book, he showed more emotion, but they all seemed to be negative? Anyhow, I want Puck as my best friend.
The Iron Daughter's plot was a little more dangerous. We saw some good heart ache from Meghan, but she pulled through. We saw some pretty good action from (My) Prince Ash and Puck. Damn, it was just so good! There were extreme twists and hard-hitting situations for the characters to deal with. I never expected what was just around the corner!
Absolutely breath-taking.
