Author: "Austin, MN, United States Obsessive tweeter. John Hughes mourner. Unicorn enthusiast. Fraggin Aarvarks guitarist. Muppet activist." This is what the author wrote about herself on her blog here. I thought it was so great, I didn't want to reword it. =o)
Synopsis: These books are actually about trolls. I know, weird. I totally wasn't expecting that one. Wendy Everly grew up with her brother and aunt because her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her when she was six years old. At 17, Wendy meets a young man named Finn who introduces her to a whole new world where she learned that perhaps her mother was right.
Review: I loved this story line and I loved that there were no vamps or werewolves in it. Just a lot of trolls. This is another paranormal romance. It is a bit predictable however there are some twists that threw me for a loop. I totally didn't expect them. Amanda Hocking is a self published author. For a self published book, this was an awesome read! It would have been better if she had an editor. There were times that I was wrapped up in the story experiencing a new adventure and then there was a typo or a sentenced structured incorrectly and I was ripped out of the fictional world back to reality to decipher what she was saying. I always figured it out but it was a bit distracting. It was a very fun story though and if you're into paranormal romance and can get over the editing mistakes then I completely recommend this book! =o)
Rating: *** Stars (because it was a bit cliche and needed editing.)
