In a world of ogres, sprites and goblins, Greta is the toughest one of all.

Seventeen year old Greta is a bounty hunter. After a witch threw her into the fire three years ago as she was trying to save her brother, she fell through a portal into a dangerous world, Mylena, where the ogres, goblins and ghouls turn nasty with a full moon. Befriended by a sprite, Greta is trained as a bounty hunter and has to hide her identity as a human. The Goblin King takes notice of Greta and begins to invade her dreams, muddling with her intentions of escaping Mylena. With the full moon days away, Greta doesn't know about another evil being that knows Greta is the key to opening the portal. If she doesn't succeed her life and others will end, but if she does, the evil being will be unleashed.

I wasn't able to stop reading this one once I started. Not even if I wanted to. Jacobs has created a tale full of non-stop action, tense scenarios and deep, real characters. I hadn't considered goblins to look quite like this before, and let me say that I was pleasantly surprised. Greta is a heroine that I won't soon forget. Her determination and abilities, along with her personality, combined to make an incredibly strong female lead. There are many tropes and themes present, and a few parallels to classics such as Narnia and Alice and Wonderland that seem undeniably familiar, but I say this as a compliment. GRETA AND THE GOBLIN KING is a fresh, exciting read with an unforgettable cast of characters. This was one of my favorite recent reads. GRETA AND THE GOBLIN KING is another hit from Entangled, but no surprise there, folks.
