The Replacement

I was surprised to encounter a male main character written in first person point of view from a female author. I admit I was a little worried that Mackie would not live up to being male enough for the story, but Yovanoff did a wonderful job. The story is eerie and graceful, sending the reader on a journey through a town that isn't as simple as it first appears. I loved the attention to detail and well crafted metaphors. Any story surrounding the fey incorporates how iron harms them, but Yovanoff went so far as to explain how the iron in human blood can harm the fey and the downfall of being a teenage fey in a world of steel body piercings and jewelry. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
