MEGHAN CHASE HAS A SECRET
DESTINY – ONE SHE COULD
NEVER HAVE IMAGINED.
My name is Meghan Chase.
In less than twenty-four hours I'll be sixteen. Countless stories, songs, and poems have been written about this wonderful age, when a girl finds true love and the stars shine for her and the handsome prince carries her off into the sunset.
I don't think it will be that way for me.
Winter's Passage (novella ebook)
It takes place between THE IRON KING and THE IRON DAUGHTER and follows Meghan and Ash on their perilous journey deep into the heart of Winter.
The Iron Daughter
Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.
Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart.
The Iron Queen
My name is Meghan Chase.
I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.
This time, there will be no turning back.
Summer's Crossing (novella ebook)
A Midsummer's Nightmare? Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Summer Court prankster, King Oberon's right hand,bane of many a faery queen's existence—and secret friend to Prince Ash of the Winter Court.
It is always a dilemma deciding whether to read a series as the books come out or wait until they are all released and read them back to back. With this series I really did not have a chance as I did not catch the buzz until the third book was released. For me, the series would have been better reading them one by one as they were published. Reading all 5 stories (3 books, 2 novellas), became too much battles/fighting for me and I've realized, I do not like battle after battle with hardly any resolution to them. I would have liked more drama/romance/conflict between the characters without all the battles. With that said, I loved these characters and was captivated by their stories/lives and I do wonder what will happen next.. I will read The Iron Knight when it comes out in a few days.

I've read the first book in this series, but haven't continued as yet. I do intend to. Yes, I've always had to be a bit careful about back-to-back reads by an author. Sometimes it works, but often it makes me notice the tics or quirks that every author has. I do think this is a very imaginative series though.
I thought about reading this series because I loved the cover (ha! I'm shallow!!). Not sure if I will or not but I like the idea of having them all waiting for me if I do!
I have this series on my Nook, but haven't had a chance to read them yet.
I have this series on my Kindle and have heard it's good but I think I'll read one and then wait a bit and then go back. I'd probably feel as you do if I read them back to back.
I got the library to buy book 1 and 2 :D Wohoo, so will see then
The covers are inviting, but I have to be picky about starting a series these days. I can't keep up with the ones I'm already reading!
I bought the first book based on the book trailer lol but I wasn't taken with it. Not sure whether I will continue on.
