In My Mailbox Sunday #9

The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney
From Goodreads: Freak. That's what her classmates call seventeen-year-old Donna Underwood. When she was seven, a horrific fey attack killed her father and drove her mother mad. Donna's own nearly fatal injuries from the assault were fixed by magic—the iron tattoos branding her hands and arms. The child of alchemists, Donna feels cursed by the magical heritage that destroyed her parents and any chance she had for a normal life. The only thing that keeps her sane and grounded is her relationship with her best friend, Navin Sharma.
When the darkest outcasts of Faerie—the vicious wood elves—abduct Navin, Donna finally has to accept her role in the centuries old war between the humans and the fey. Assisted by Xan, a gorgeous half-fey dropout with secrets of his own, Donna races to save her friend—even if it means betraying everything her parents and the alchemist community fought to the death to protect.

Catching Fire & Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Those of you who have read The Hunger Games know how much I would have to censor the blurbs for these two books, so I'll just say that the story continues from book #1 and if you have not checked out this series do it NOW. I just got these the other day and I devoured them in one sitting each 'nuff said.

What did you get in your mailbox this week?
