Meghan Chase used to be an ordinary girl...until she discovered that she is really a faery princess. After escaping from the clutches of the deadly Iron fey, Meghan must follow through on her promise to return to the equally dangerous Winter Court with her forbidden love, Prince Ash. But first, Meghan has one request: that they visit Puck--Meghan's best friend and servant of her father, King Oberon--who was gravely injured defending Meghan from the Iron Fey.

Yet Meghan and Ash's detour does not go unnoticed. They have caught the attention of an ancient, powerful hunter--a foe that even Ash may not be able to defeat...

An eBook exclusive novella from Julie Kagawa.

Novella Mini Review:

Reading this novella after The Iron Knight, I see that it highlights the complexity of Prince Ash. It really conflicts with his love of Meghan and his loyalty to the court. Picking up exactly where The Iron King left off, we join Meghan on her journey to keep her deal with the Prince and return to The Unseelie Court. We are accompanied by our favorite feline but are hunted by a force older and wiser than faery it seems. The chase is just enough action that perfectly paces the book but it was rather abrupt and cut off, even for a novella. A great meanwhile read but not as charming as its counterpart, Summer's Crossing.

This week has been fantastic! A bunch of new goodies! Even one I have been looking forward to a long time!

This week I got...

 Barnes & Noble NOOK Touch eBook Reader

Why yes that is a new generation nook! I have been doing massive amounts of research; the first poll resulted in Kindle...then I found out that the Simon & Schuster Galley Grab doesn't support Kindle, so I sent out another poll and this one came back overwhelmingly Nook. I spoke to an amazing specialist at the B&N store and he really sold me on it. The Kindle will not support library eBooks either. So in the end, I went with this and so far I love it. I even bought a book for it!

I bought...

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (eBook) by Ransom Riggs

I won...

Corsets and Clockwork: 13 Steampunk Romances from Candace's Book Blog

She hosted an extended event My Favorite Things, and I was SO happy to win this selection. I have had my eye on it since it released! Thank you very much Candace! The event was sensational!

I also won a series of posters from Quirk Books in a contest hosted at I Like These Books. One of the posters was the cover of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I am excited to add it to my office decor! Thank you, Britta!

From the Library...

Entwined by Heather Dixon

A new spin on the story of the 12 Dancing Princesses, this is supposed to be a good, clean fairy tale!

This week has made me so giddy! I have updated all my netgalley information and have made my first requests including The Iron Knight. I cannot express how happy I am with this week! I'd love to hear how your week was!
