I have just discovered that someone hacked my blog :( they have deleted all the post I had written to go out plus they had tampered with ones I had already posted . So I have just fixed the existing post up bit now I will have to go through and rewrite all the ones that were deleted. So I applogise now for the lack of posts at the moment.
But I will try and have new post soon

switched (Trylle Trilogy #1) by Amanda Hocking

Synopsis

When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. She’s not the person she’s always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel—all because of Finn Holmes.

Finn is a mysterious guy who always seems to be watching her. Every encounter leaves her deeply shaken…though it has more to do with her fierce attraction to him than she’d ever admit. But it isn’t long before he reveals the truth: Wendy is a changeling who was switched at birth—and he’s come to take her home.

Now Wendy’s about to journey to a magical world she never knew existed, one that’s both beautiful and frightening. And where she must leave her old life behind to discover who she’s meant to become…

Review

 Switched was surprisingly refreshing, in a world full of stories about vampires, fairies, shifters ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) it was nice to read a story about trolls.

I’ve never read a book about a troll before,  and I’m all for broadening my paranormal collection. 

The story begins with  Wendy a somewhat  bratty teenager with anger management issues . Though given her family history I don’t think anyone can blame her. Most of her life she has struggled to find her place in the world. Her mom hates her and the only person to ever truly care is her brother matt. 

After a incident at her old school Wendy has had to move towns and school again. Enter our mysterious, Finn. 

Wendy feels an instant connection to Finn, though she doesn’t know why . That is until he tells her she’s a troll and that she is here to take her home.  Natural he instinct is to think he is crazy and run in the opposite direction but when the world she is trying to deny exist comes to get her, she  has no choice but to trust Flynn and abandon the world and family she loves.

 What Wendy finds when she arrives is far from what she could have ever imagined.  Wendy must find her way in a world she is not even sure she wants any part of. 

This is defiantly a easy read and a great place to start for those who are only just starting to read the  ya paranormal  genre

Review

The dark heroine by Abigail Gibbs is a dark romantic story which is the perfect way to start the year
Violet lee is your average teenager who is still trying to find her way in the world. Trying to deal with a cheating ex, sick sister and a dead brother, but when a night out turns in to a night she will never forget her world will never be the same again .

Pulled into a world she never imagined, violet must fight for life, and her heart.

At times the story reminded me of beauty and the beast. Girl taken by a monster who at the start she hate  but as you dive deeper into the story she finds that maybe all is not what it seems and that first impression can be deceiving. Can this beauty change this beast .

Our beast is Kasper also to be a prince with issues of his own. With family like his who needs enemys
There are moments in this story that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat and others that will leave you feeling so sorry for the characters. With vampires humans sage and a squid what more could you want.
All in all I have to say I really loved this story and I can't wait to find out what will happen next .
If you had to choose love or death human or vampire what would you choose ?

Rating: 5 stars
