The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
Alright, so the first book I thought was like Twilight. Two mythical beings that are love interests to one girl. One pale, cold, dangerous and has a reason to kill her. The other one warm and a much safer option. The thing is- forbidden love is common and appealing. There is something about it that I love- even though I did not marry the "bad boy" in my personal life. There is something that makes a girl feel AMAZING to have the bad boy, the unreachable boy, to be able to be the one that he can love, the one that changes his demeanor- that's a very empowering thought. In this sequel (official sequel Book #2 not #1.5) there is a similarity to Twilight or New Moon. The pale, cold love interest has to go away (completely different reasons here)and the other one has a chance to make his move. To me, that is where the similarities end. I really liked this book. I feel like it has more adventure to it than Twilight, and the girl doesn't become a zombie- when he leaves. Life goes on, and she gives the other guy more of a chance. I liked the twists- they weren't impossible to guess, but it still was interesting and I loved this book and look forward to the next book. :)
