The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

        
The Iron King
(The Iron Fey #1)
by Julie Kagawa
Summary from Goodreads:

"Meghan Chase has a secret destiny; one she could never have imagined. 

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school or at home. 

When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. 
But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face; and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart"

Rating:

One of the best faerie books I've ever read!

Julie Kagawa is an amazing writer. The Iron King is such a magnificent book. It was so vivid! It’s like watching a movie (only it takes place in your head and not on TV). 

The thing I love so much about this is that it’s sooooo action packed. Every chapter is an adventure. There’s always something to discover, there’s never a dull moment. If things heap up, you get so drawn to it that you get anxious to find out what will happen next; if things mellow down, you relax a bit to brace yourself for what’s coming.

It’s has everything; faeries, guys, humor, action, romance…just everything! I absolutely LOVE it!
