Book Review- Winter's Passage (e-book)

By Julie Kagawa
Published by Harlequin Teen
Released June 1st, 2010
(ebook)
5 Stars-This is a MUST read

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 story from Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series.


I absolutely love this cover! I really wish I could touch this cover. I mean, it's beautiful. Plus the wolf girl in me adores it. This is one ebook that I really, really wish was a physical book. WOW! Julie packs everything that I love in a good book, into less than 60 pages. Action, romance, and it has a wolf, which was the perfect paranormal character.


If you've read The Iron King, you'll know that Megan gave her word to Ash, that she would return to the Winter Court with him. If you've read The Iron Daughter, then you know she does return with him. If you haven't read it, I promise I'm not spoiling anything by saying that. If you loved both of these books, just wait till you read Winter's Passage. Mix the adventure, action and chemistry from The Iron King and The Iron Daughter and BAM! You've got a hot little book called Winter's Passage, which starts when Ash comes for Megan and they journey back to the Winter Court.


There's a few little surprise along the way, as Puck makes a brief appearance and Grim (love Grim), is there for part of their journey. The Wolf, known as The Hunter is after Megan and Ash. Megan and Ash's scene are fantastic. I won't give away why I love them or what scenes they are. You just need to read it!! I have to say it will have you going, YES, it will pull at your heart strings and may even have you sighing. If you're like us, you may find yourself reading Winter's Passage a few times.


I really enjoyed how Julie kept her characters true to themselves, while introducing a new one with a twist. We all know the big bad wolf from nursery rhymes and childhood stories, but there's more to him than that. I seriously love his character. Winter's Passage is my favorite in Julie's The Iron Fey series.


Here's the link to go read Winter's Passage http://enterthefaeryworld.com/ironfey2/# It's only FREE until July 31st! Trust me, it's worth every penny we'll be spending on it after it's free promotional period is up. Don't forget to pre-order your The Iron Daughter, it's a must have!

Waiting On Wednesday- Grace by Elizabeth Scott

This weekly event is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Published by Dutton Books (Penguin)
To Be Released Sept. 16th, 2010

A fable of a terrifying near future.

Grace was raised to be an Angel, a herald of death by suicide bomb. But she refuses to die for the cause, and now Grace is on the run, daring to dream of freedom.

In search of a border she may never reach, she travels among malevolent soldiers on a decrepit train crawling through the desert. Accompanied by the mysterious Kerr, Grace struggles to be invisible, but the fear of discovery looms large as she recalls the history and events that delivered her uncertain fate.

What a captivating cover! I'm looking forward to sharing my review for Grace. It's an amazing read and one I think many Elizabeth Scott fans will like. Grace is one, very strong character, who at a young age is faced with some tough choices and the consequence of death. Refusing to believe that she has no other choice, she follows her dream and goes in search to find Freedom.

We're really looking forward to Grace's release.
