Wendy Everly has always felt different. She can't seem to find a place where she belongs and even her own mother hates her. She was raised by her aunt and brother after her mom tries to kill her. She is just about to turn 18 and they are settling into yet another new place. She hates school and has no friends. For weeks now, the new boy, Finn Holmes, has been staring at her and it is creeping her out. On top of all of that, she keeps getting a weird feeling that she is being watched. She quickly discovers that Finn isn't a student after all, and she isn't who she thought she was either. She is Trylle and a princess. Wendy's world is flipped upside down and nothing will ever be the same.

I loved this book and this whole series. This is the second series that I have read by Amanda Hocking and I think I will read anything that she writes. The characters are great. I do think that Wendy can be a bit whiny and bratty though. I found myself wanting to slap her on a few occasions. Finn is.....well, Finn. He is dreamy and frustrating all in the same breath. You just have to read it to know. There isn't a character in this book that doesn't play an important role, whether you like them or not. If you like a good love story with a splash of fantasy, this series is for you. I loved it and I hope you will too.
