Another YA fantasy I read for market research-and I almost didn't get past the cover (and the publisher, ~ick~). 
 The plot was typical-kidnapped brother makes sister head into fairy to reclaim him, and *gasp* she finds out she's a (view spoiler)[ fairy princess (hide spoiler)] and two good-looking guys show up (okay, one went in with her). 
 So why did I like it, and why did I keep reading? 
 1. It's about fairies, and there was a kelpie! 
 2. Iron Fay are an intriguing concept 
 3. World building and good old fashioned corny fantasy cliches. 
 4. Books about fairies are usually terrible, and this just wasn't. 
 5. The love triangle never happened (not in this book anyhow) 
 6. SWORDS! 
 7. The romance was not the major part of the book, and it wasn't mushy. 
 8. A dark knight 
 9. Parts of it took place in Louisiana 
 If you like fairy tales, (and are female, because, really, what guy is going to pick up a book that looks like this?), check it out.
