My Reviews:
When Wendy Everly was six-years-old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It has been eleven years since then, and now living with her older brother Matt and her aunt Maggie, while her mother now lives in an insane asylum... Wendy knows that she's diffrent then other people, especially when she learns that she can control someone with just thinking it. She tries to keep it a secret from her brother and aunt or anyone... But when one boy name Finn Holmes who is diffrent from the rest,  knows her secret and just might know more information on what she is.... Wendy tries with all her power to figure out what he knows... She soon discovers that she is a Changling and comes from a magical world called Forening in Montana, where her people called the Trylle come from.. But she's not just any Trylle but a princess... So now in a strange world and trying to learn her princess ways, while grow feeling for Finn the more she with him... With the help of Finn, Wendy finds herself in a world she never knew existed and it's one she's not sure if she wants to be a part of.... 


My Thoughts: 


-This book was amazing.... I really enjoyed the magical world that Amanda create in this book. It was truly magical and unreal how neat it was... 


-I also enjoy the characters in this book too.... With what Wendy  had to go though at the beginning with her fake mother. Was terrible and so sad.. I feilt so sad for what she went though and then was shock like her, when she finds out that she is from another world.... 


-I also enjoyed her brother and aunt, who loves Wendy dearly and cares for her... To Finn, her teacher and protector.... And the two humans she meets in  Forening. Rhys and Rhiannon. While also meeting two Trylle people too, Willa and Trove.. To Wendy's icy  queen mother, who's always rude and judges Wendy about everything she does... 


-To also Wendy's feelings for Finn, while also how Finn is not the only boy that likes Wendy.. Rhys and Trove try to earn there trust to her as well..  


-With  Wendy's past filled with mystery and unexpected ancestors.. Amanda Hocking creates a mysterious, magical twisted plot filled with all sorts of surprises.. I guarantee that you have not read a book quite like this before....


-So with that all said...  I am very looking forward to reading the second book Torn, when it comes out next month...


-And I give this book a 4/5 stars....
