Lady Aileana Kameron can sing, paint prettily, and murder the fae as easily as dancing a waltz. But how far is she prepared to go for vengeance . . . ?1. Epic cover.
Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844
18-year-old Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined to a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery kills her mother. Now it’s the 1844 winter season. Between a seeming endless number of parties, Aileana slaughters faeries in secret. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, every night she sheds her aristocratic facade and goes hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways. But she never even considered that she might become attracted to one. To the magnetic Kiaran MacKay, the faery who trained her to kill his own kind. Nor is she at all prepared for the revelation he’s going to bring. Because Midwinter is approaching, and with it an eclipse that has the ability to unlock a Fae prison and begin the Wild Hunt. A battle looms, and Aileana is going to have to decide how much she’s willing to lose – and just how far she’ll go to avenge her mother’s murder.
2. She is slaughtering faeries in secret with pistols and explosives.
3. Vengeance and romance.

I haven't have much luck with Fae books, but this sounds AWESOME. Love the cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm not the biggest fan of faerie books generally so I love that this book features a character hunting down and killing the Fae. Also love the awesome historical setting-I don't think I've ever read a book set in 1844 Edinburgh.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this cover :) It looks gorgeous! Sounds amazing too ;) I hope you'll love it. <3 Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThe cover is awesome! First thing that drew me in. Definitely something I'll have to check out!
ReplyDeleteVengeance and romance, huh? Always a winner for me! :)
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds amazing! I already have it on my list! Gah, I want it!

I love this cover! The heroine looks super fierce. :) The book sounds just as good as it looks too! :D I must check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this one, I spotlighted it last week and have to say the cover is amazing. The blurb sounds kick-ass. It just seems all around superb. Great pick! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I'm so excited about this one, too. Hope you get to read it soon.

Wow. This sounds wicked cool. I've never read a book before where someone kills fairies. I'll definitely have to check it out. Great pick, Mel!
ReplyDeleteOh man, this book sounds EPIC! I think I heard of it last week or the week before and I'm SO anxious to read it now!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "modified percussion pistols"
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! A faery hunter eh? That's new for me!
The cover does look epic! and so does the summary! Great pick, I'll definitely be adding this one to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteLike Bookworm1858, I am not such a fan of Fae/fairy books, so I do sort of like the idea of Buffy the Fairy Hunter. Sign me up!!!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds bad-ass and I have been looking forward to it for a while now. I kind of expected the cover to look different, but I'm still going to get this one as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds SO good! I wonder if she makes those modified weapons herself. If she does, I am totally SOLD. :D
ReplyDeleteOh, my god. I've seen this book before but this is the first time I've seen this cover and now I need it even more. It sounds absolutely amazing. Fantastic choice, love! Thanks for dropping by! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree, this cover is EPIC! Loving it. Want it. Should be good. ;)
ReplyDeleteShe hunts fairies?! This sounds awesome! I remember coming across it a few times, but I never really paid the blurb much attention. I'll definitely me getting my hands on this now. And yes, the cover is epic. :)
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm YES PLEASE MEL! This sounds absurdly good! I love anything set in Scotland/Ireland so this is an automatic win for me. Add in a society girl who's slaying faeries in her spare time and then falls in love with one and I'm desperately counting the days until it releases:)
ReplyDeleteI'm DYING for this book. That cover *swoon*. Love so much. She is already so badass. And I love me some kick ass females. Amazing pick!
ReplyDeleteA historical, paranormal with a kick-ass heroine killing Fae set in Ireland..oh my goodness YES!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that book looks super cool! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can't effing wait for this one either!!! It sound so awesome - kickass fairy-killing historical heroine!! :D And the Wild Hunt! I hope it shows up on NetGalley at some point...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post yesterday!
This sounds really great! And I agree with you. This cover is epic. Great pick!
