Jill over at Breaking the Spine started this and I believe that it's awesome" This blog post is to alert those that visit about "the" book that we cannot wait to get our hands on.

I always enjoy a great paranormal nov
el and IRONSKIN by Tina Connolly seems to fit the bill. It has a great premise full of mystery and darkness. Yes! I also adore the cover because is screams of pretty. That is my choice for this week, what is yours? My curious mind wants to know.

Fall 2012
IRONSKIN
Ironskin Duology, Book One
by Tina Connolly
Tor
Goodreads---------------
IRONSKIN, a steampunk retelling of JANE EYRE with fairies. Coming in Fall 2012 from Tor Books, with a sequel in 2013!


Jane Eliot wears an iron mask.

It's the only way to contain the fey curse that scars her cheek. The Great War is five years gone, but its scattered victims remain -- the ironskin.

Now Jane returns to the war-torn country to help a fey-cursed child. Helping the unruly Dorie suppress her curse is hard enough -- she certainly didn't expect to fall for the girl's father, the enigmatic artist Mr. Rochart. But her blossoming crush is stifled by her own scars, and by his parade of women. Ugly women, who enter his closed studio -- and come out as beautiful as the fey.

Jane knows he cannot love her, just as she knows that she must wear iron for the rest of her life. But what if neither of these things are true? Step by step Jane must unlock the secrets of her new life -- and discover just how far she will go to become whole again.
