The Iron King by Kagawa

Meghan Chase's 16th birthday is anything but ordinary. There's no cake, no car, no driver's license. Instead, her sweet little brother is swapped out with a faery demon, her best friend reveals himself to be a mythical creature, and Meghan learns her dad isn't a pig farmer, but a faery king. Meghan also wins a one-way ticket to the Nevernever, the land of faeries. There she must brave the weird and wild to rescue her brother and exchange him for the changeling at home.

I feel like this book didn't meet it's potential. The story's pretty good, the characters okay, but the romance is totally improbable. In the hands of a better publisher/editor, this book could really shine. Unfortunately, Harlequin Teen isn't exactly Harcourt Classics. My favorite part of this first novel is the depiction of the Nevernever. The descriptions are totally captivating.
