I received this title in exchange for a review from NetGalley.Every great once in a while, an amazing author emerges with a fresh take on an old fairy tale. In this case, this title is a fresh take on the Fae lore.I read this title in record time. Yes, it was that good. Filled with mystery, suspense, action and romance, who could ask for anything more? No one, but that's just what D. L. McDermott gives you. More. Boasting extensive knowledge in archaeology and folklore, McDermott weaves a tale so breathtaking I couldn't put it down once I picked it up.I did find the use of foreign words (always the writer's prerogative) a bit tedious (but only because I couldn't pronounce them myself!) McDermott's writing is spot-on professional and I became lost in the magical world of Fae very quickly.Comparative to Erin Kellison's Fire Kissed and Shadow Kissed serieses, this series is right up any fan's alley.  I'd also say Cold Iron is in the vein of Dianne Sylvan's Shadow World series and even Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series. If you love to get lost in a good book, this is definitely one you should try.
