The Iron Witch

From Books

"When she was seven, a horrific fey attack killed Donna Underwood’s father and drove her mother mad. Her own nearly fatal injuries were fixed by alchemy—the iron tattoos branding her hands and arms. Now seventeen, Donna feels like a freak, doomed by the magical heritage that destroyed her parents and any chance she had for a normal life. Only her relationship with her best friend, Navin, is keeping her sane.

But when vicious wood elves abduct Navin, Donna is forced to accept her role in the centuries-old war between human alchemists and these darkest outcasts of Faerie. Assisted by Xan, a gorgeous guy with faery blood running through his veins and secrets of his own, Donna races to save Navin—even if it means betraying everything her parents fought to the death to protect."

So you have this seventeen year old girl that has lived in a complete bubble for pretty much her entire life. Her best friend lives next door, and is her life line. Maker is the one that saved her life, by fixing her hands. So when the Wood Queen kidnaps Navin and Maker, she feels she is left little choice other than to save them.
The book is an easy read, and being the emotional person that I am, I found that I really liked this book. I loved how it pulled me into Donna's thoughts and feelings. It was worth the read.
