From acclaimed author Katie McGarry comes an explosive new tale of a good girl with a reckless streak, a street-smart guy with nothing to lose, and a romance forged in the fast lane 

The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life—that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers…and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker—a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind. 

Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks—no matter how angelic she might look. 

But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country.

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter.

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed …and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.







You know you want them.  So just enter the Rafflecopter below, and we hope to see you on December 6th!

The Iron Traitor releases today!

THE IRON TRAITOR is out today!

In the real world, when you vanish into thin air for a week, people tend to notice.

After his unexpected journey into the lands of the fey, Ethan Chase just wants to get back to normal. Well, as "normal" as you can be when you see faeries every day of your life. Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for-his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again.

But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be. For Ethan's nephew, Keirran, is missing, and may be on the verge of doing something unthinkable in the name of saving his own love. Something that will fracture the human and faery worlds forever, and give rise to the dangerous fey known as the Forgotten. As Ethan's and Keirran's fates entwine and Keirran slips further into darkness, Ethan's next choice may decide the fate of them all.

 

 

 

 

Ethan and Keirran's adventure continues!  Will they succeed?  Will that pesky prophecy rear it's ugly head?  Only one way to find out?

 

 

Find it at Barnes and Noble, Amazon,  and anywhere books are sold.  :)

Iron Fey in Wonderland + a dilemma

Annnnnnnd, just for fun:


With Halloween right around the corner, I thought I'd share.  The Iron Fey chibis in their Halloween costumes.

 

 

 

 

From right to left: Grim as Cheshire, Puck as Hatter, Meghan as Alice, and our lovely Winter Prince as the White Rabbit.

 

 

Doesn't he look cute, folks? 

 

 

Puck: "Hey, ice-boy, your cute fluffy tail is showing." 

Ash: "I'm done with this."

Puck: "Aw, I think somebunny is embarrassed."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: So, now I have a dilemma.  I was going to put these guys up in the Etsy store this Saturday.  My dilemma is this: do I offer them as a complete set, thus ensuring only 1 person will get them all, or should I offer them individually so more have a chance to grab one?  Considering how very quickly they go, it would only take a few seconds for them to be gone. 

 

So, I'm going to put it to a vote.  Sell them as individuals, or as a set of four?  I will check back Friday evening to see what has the most votes, and then they will go on sale Saturday, October 26 at noon EST.

 

Here is the link to the shop, if you are interested.  KagawaCrafts.  Thank you all so much!

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Spot the Difference

Just for fun...


Can you spot the difference between these two pics?

It took me longer than I'm proud of to finally spot it, and when I did, I felt like smacking myself in the forehead.  It's so obvious but at the same time, really hard to catch.

Let me know if you get it in the comments!  (And how long it took you.)  =D
