What I'm Waiting on:
The Falconer (The Falconer #1)
by Elizabeth May
Goodreads Synopsis:
Heiress. Debutant. Murderer. A new generation of heroines has arrived.
Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844
Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined for a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery killed her mother.
Now it’s the 1844 winter season and Aileana slaughters faeries in secret, in between the endless round of parties, tea and balls. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, she sheds her aristocratic facade every night to go 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 the balance between high society and her private war is a delicate one, and as the fae infiltrate the ballroom and Aileana’s father returns home, she has decisions to make. How much is she willing to lose – and just how far will Aileana go for revenge?

Hey, Mackenzie :)Thanks so much for the lovely comment you left on my blog! Haha, I get sidetracked SO easily too, and, yeah, organisation and I are not exactly pals...as much as I'd like us to be *sigh* Anyway, thanks, because your comment was just the kind of encouragement I needed! :D
ReplyDeleteWow, this book actually looks pretty good. It's kind of different to the books I normally read - I read SO MANY dystopians, but I'm starting to branch out more into other genres, so this looks like a good place to start! Sounds kick-ass! Hope you get to read it soon ;)
