Future Favorites is an awesome blog feature over at Electrifying Reviews. I post about a book that is yet-to-be-released and that I can't wait to read!
The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney:
Release Date: February 1, 2011 from Flux
Freak. That's what her classmates call seventeen-year-old Donna Underwood. When she was seven, a horrific fey attack killed her father and drove her mother mad. Donna's own nearly fatal injuries from the assault were fixed by magic—the iron tattoos branding her hands and arms. The child of alchemists, Donna feels cursed by the magical heritage that destroyed her parents and any chance she had for a normal life. The only thing that keeps her sane and grounded is her relationship with her best friend, Navin Sharma.
When the darkest outcasts of Faerie—the vicious wood elves—abduct Navin, Donna finally has to accept her role in the centuries old war between the humans and the fey. Assisted by Xan, a gorgeous half-fey dropout with secrets of his own, Donna races to save her friend—even if it means betraying everything her parents and the alchemist community fought to the death to protect.
I don't really like the cover. its pretty but too dark and I dont liek the pose.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy this cover, the scrollwork is beautiful! Like you, I'm squinting at the screen trying to figure out what she's holding, looks like something that requires a key? Anyway, love the contrast of light and dark, the font choice is perfect and it would definitely catch my eye on the shelf. Nice choice!
