The Iron King (The Iron Fey #1)
by Julie Kagawa
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.

Did the plot of this story seem reminiscent of a certain 80's film starring David Bowie??? Just saying...
Meghan lives on a farm outside of town town; a very poor pig farmers step daughter. Her little brother who is always saying there are "Things" under his bed and in his closet it taken, by monsters from the Fairy world. She, along with her bff Puck - her guardian faerie that she had no idea about. Apparently she is a big deal to the faeries, and is a fairy herself. SO they set off to fairy land to save him and learn the truth about her heritage.
Turns out her father is the king of the faeries, and she is in big trouble for crossing over. I really did not connect with Meghan... and yes i get it she is 16 but good lord get it together.
She meets Ash, the ice prince and there is adolescent instalove, I guess u could call it that... he is alright as a character but honestly I kinda like Puck better.
I wanted to like this book more, it had sooooooo many good reviews and people were saying it was such a good read, but I just didn't feel the connection. I had to stop multiple times while reading it because it got redundant. all in all it wasn't a bad read, but I wouldn't read it again.
