The Iron Witch by Karen MahoneyPublished: February 1st 2011 (Flux)
Freak. That’s what they called seventeen year-old Donna Underwood in high school after a horrific fey attack that killed her father when she was just a child. Her injuries and rehabilitation resulted in magically enhanced strength, thanks to the iron tattoos branding her hands and arms. As a child of the alchemists, she is both blessed and cursed with a magical heritage that doesn't leave much room for boys, parties and homework.
Now, after ten years of wishing for a normal life, she finally has to accept her role in the centuries-old war against the darkest outcasts of Faerie: the Dark Elves. Aided by a gorgeous half-fey dropout, Donna must race to save her best friend’s life - even if it means betraying one of the world’s greatest secrets and confronting the very thing that destroyed her family.

I've noticed the Iron craze too. Seems to be everywhere! Great pick, though. I love the cover on this one!
You're so right about the Iron obsession going on! However, this cover looks quite awesome, so it's on my wish list!!
Luckily, the Iron craze seems to be full of good books! Nice pick.
Fantastic cover and very interesting pick. I haven't heard of this before but I will add it to my TBR list.
Ooh this one sounds awesome! Haha I agree with everyone about the Iron obsession, it's getting out of hand. The cover is stunning...love it! (:
Once again, a fascinating pick! Despite the Iron-ness of the title, this sounds like it has some really unusual elements. I'll be looking out for it.
