Book Review: Thorn Queen - Richelle Mead

6093337
Eugenie Markham is a shaman for hire.  She's paid to bind and banish creatures from the Otherworld.

But something happened after her last battle.  She became queen of the Thorn Land.  With her kingdom in tatters, her love life in chaos, and eager to avoid the prophecy about her firstborn destroying mankind, the job's really not all it's cracked up to be.

Now young girls are disappearing from the Otherworld, and no one seems willing to find out why.  Or to put an end to it.  Not that Eugenie's fazed by spilling fey blood, but this enemy is shrewd, subtle, and dangerous--and nursing a very personal grudge.

Eugenie must venture deep into the Otherworld and trust in a power she can barely control.  She may be a reluctant queen, but she's vowed to do her duty, even if it means facing the darkest and deadliest side of her nature.

4/5 stars (really like it)
This book continues right where the other one left off.  Eugenie has become the new queen even though she doesn't want it.  Throughout this book she is dealing with a double life, one in the human world and one in the Thorn Land.  She is trying to keep them separate and even doesn't tell her parents about being queen.  There is also her love life, which is with Kiyo.  He is having a baby with his ex-girlfriend who is a queen in the Otherworld.  Then there is Dorian, a king int he Otherworld.  I loved the ending of this book and how Eugenie has changed so much since the first book.
