"The Iron Knight" [The Iron Fey Series, Book 4] by Julie Kagawa

My Book Summary : Around the end of "The Iron Queen," Meghan sends Ash away from the Iron Realm but before he finally leaves, he gives her an Oath, saying that he'll find a way to return to her and be her knight. This whole story is about how he can complete that Oath to her. Find a way to be there for her as a protector and a companion. However, Ash knows he cannot do this alone so he has his arch-nemesis, Puck, and an annoying "always right" cait sith, Grimalkin, with him. As well as two other comrades--one who is a person from both Puck and Ash's past and another who is usually an enemy.

Will Ash be able to complete his journey and following quests and trials, and make it back to Meghan? Can he also do so while being unharmed and not go insane, like they say most do? Or will something come into his life and completely change the path he is on for good?

My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! "The Iron Knight" wraps up this wonderfully awesome series, and I was captivated and entertained so much in this story that I didn't want to put it down!! This book kept me jumping from the beginning from all of the twists that the author throws in it!! I was SOOO surprised with how it gives you multiple endings, in a way, that leave you reeling because your not sure if that's definitely going to happen or not. In addition, I LOVED how the character roles played out, how you get to really an in depth background for Ash but you also get a new appreciation for Puck.

If you are a fan of the Iron Fey series you should LOVE this book as much as I did, especially if you are on Team Ash like I am!! =0)

Book Teaser(s) :
Teaser #1
"Hmm. Hey, Ice-boy, hold these for a second, will ya?" Puck asked, holding out the mushroom kebabs. Frowning, I took them, and he struck me upside the head, not hard, but solid enough to rock me forward a step. "Stop being so damned fatalistic," he said as I turned on him with a snarl. "If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't be. And you know you can't do it all by your lonesome, ice-boy. Sooner or later, you're going to have to start trusting us."
I laughed at him then, bitter and self-mocking. "Trust," I said flatly. "Trust requires the faith of both parties, Goodfellow." ~ within Chapter 9 - titled 'In Dreams'
Panting, we stumbled through the arch into the next room, where Grimalkin stood on a broken pillar, waiting for us.
"Ugh," Puck groaned, brushing cinders from his shirt. "Well, that was fun, though a bit on the clichéd side. Way too Temple of Doom for me. So, where are we now?" ~ within Chapter 13 - titled 'The Gauntlet'

    Book Teaser:
    "Well," the witch said, curling bloodless lips to a smile at us. Crooked yellow teeth flashed in the light like jagged bits of bone. "What do we have here? Two handsome faery boys, come to visit a poor old woman. And if my eyes don't deceive me, that's Robin Goodfellow I see before me. The last I saw of you, you stole my broom and tied my house's legs so it fell over when we tried to catch you!"
    I repressed another sigh. This wasn't starting well. ~ within Chapter 1 - titled 'The House Of The Bone Witch'

    Made the Grade: Puma Nights Series, Book 2

    - This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Kindle Edition - File Size: 428 KB; | Expected Release Date: October 10, 2011 | Publisher: Carina Press | Obtained: NetGalley

    "Falke's Captive" [Puma Nights Series, Book 2] by Madison Layle & Anna Leigh Keaton

    My Book Summary : After a long day at work Kelan & Reidar are just hanging out at the bar and relax. That is until Beth walks in and sets their lusts on fire!!

    Beth is new in town trying to scout good spots for her professor's research study on pumas in the area. She never expected that she would get to indulge in her wildest fantasies while she was here though. And these two hot brother spark her inner sex kitten in a way she has never felt before.

    However, when Beth ends up catching Kelan while he is in his puma form, being "Falke" during the day light, assuming him to be a typical puma to start her research on sets off a chain of events that none of them could have suspected.

    What will Kelan & Reidar do when they find out that the woman they cannot get enough of, and want her to possibly be their mate, might end up being their enemy after all??

    My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! The beginning of this novel is a bit slow, and I didn't like some of it, but after a quarter of the way in this story picks up and there is action ALL around!! =0)

    The relationship that develops between Kelan, Beth, & Reidar is spicy and very entertaining. Plus, I really liked finding out how the brother's world and their family dynamics works.

    I recommend this book who have read "Falke's Peak" and/or are fans of Madison Layle & Anna Leigh Keaton's books!!

    Book Teaser(s) :
    “Your sister said he was born in captivity. But if you take him out in the wild, what if he found a mate out there? A female in heat would trump your pampering. He could run off until he’d secured his line.”
    The brothers were silent for a minute, but then Kelan chuckled. “He doesn’t pay much attention to other cats, other than to warn us of their presence.”
    “Excuse me? He isn’t fixed. I know that much from the exam I did.”
    Reidar found that statement hilarious, nearly choking on his beer, but Kelan groaned and swiped his hand through his hair.
    “I’m serious,” she insisted. “Are you going to get him neutered?”
    “God, no!” Kelan said.
    Reidar damn near fell out of his chair laughing, but Kelan looked serious. Overly serious.
    “You can’t keep an animal that’s wild by nature as a house pet,” she continued in spite of the looks Reidar’s amusement drew from other tables. “It won’t work. Eventually he’ll go off to spread his seed.”
    “No. He won’t,” was Kelan’s response, and it made her roll her eyes. ~ within Chapter 8
