That's what they call seventeen-year-old Donna Underwood at Ironbridge High School. A horrific fey attack that killed her father when she was just a child left Donna branded with iron tattoos that cover her hands and arms - and magically enhanced strength, that she now does all she can to hide.
Now, after ten years of wishing for a normal life, Donna finally accepts her role in the centuries-old war against the darkest outcasts of Faerie - the dark elves. Aided by Xan, a gorgeous half-fey dropout, Donna must save her best friend's life - and that means betraying one of the world's greatest secrets and confronting the very thing that destroyed her family.
I really liked this one. I read it in my Kindle, but the cover is wonderful. It was a very quick read and the plot was nice. I would have liked more meaningful interaction between Xan and Donna, but I understand that the story was fast paced and this is book one in a series. Besides the three main characters, the secondary ones didn't have a lot of spotlight here. Now we will have to wait a year for book two, and the end was a subtle cliffhanger!
