ARC from Netgalley
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
I LOVED this book, I was so excited when I found out that Julie was writing another book pertaining to faery and to top that a book about lovable little Ethan (who isn't the same little boy we meet in the first Iron Fey series). He's all grown up and wanted nothing to do with the world that took his sister Meghan from him. He does everything possible to ignore the Fae who just seem to torment his life. When he starts a new school in hopes of laying low the exact opposite happens. He has a girl take an interest in his bad boy persona and he has trouble on the faery front as well. He doesn't want to get involved, but he finds himself sucked into someone elses problems. He unwilling has to accept the help of a Fae as he is chased from our world to the realm of faery dragging poor Kenzie with him. I can't even go on because it would spoil the book for you (and it is an amazing book), but I'll mention just a few more tidbits. He finds help in faery from a surprise family member, angers more than one faery Queen, helps to right what is going wrong in faery along the way, and meets many the familiar faces on his journey(swooning just thinking about the meetings). He also seems to find love with a girl he wanted to nothing to with. And just when I thought everything would be resolved Julie drops a whopper on poor Ethan (not to mention his sidekick who is very swoon worthy). I do have to say that I was lost prior to reading Iron's Prophecy and afterwards I could see why such great measures were taken to keep a certain two characters (which didn't work anyways) apart. I can not wait for the next book in the series to come out but considering I just finished read the ARC for The Lost Prince I think it may be awhile, but I know it will be so worth the wait. Keep up the good work Julie you are super-mega-awesome!
