Switched

SWITCHED BY AMANDA HOCKING

Have you ever felt out of place? Like you don't belong? Well then you can relate to Wendy Everly.

When Wendy Everly was five years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster, switched at birth, and tried to kill her. Her mother's been locked up ever since. 

Now shes 16 and lives with her brother Matt and her Aunt Maggie. Though Wendy tries to tell herself she isn't the monster her mother accused her of being, Wendy cant help the feeling of doubt she gets every time she looks in the mirror... 

Without knowing how or why Wendy has discovered that she has the ability to influence people's decisions, so much so that she can tell people what to do in her mind and they will obey.
Then one night the new and mysteriously handsome guy in town, Finn Holmes knocks on her bedroom window and suddenly nothing is the same as it was...

Finally with the knowledge that Wendy is not alone, she is relieved. Finn is the answer to her past, present and future. But will this new found knowledge push her over the edge?

Among the trylle, Wendy has great responsibilities and the only one she feels she can trust is Finn.
A war is coming.
The trylle are counting on Wendy. The question is, can she save them?
Or will everything Wendy loves be destroyed? Her fate, love and life. 
Her kingdom needs protection.
And she is the only one who can provide it.



I absolutely loved this book! It is part of the trylle trilogy. (Switched, Torn, Ascend.)
From these books it is clear that Amanda Hocking has a wild imagination and isn't afraid to put it in a book!
She has put romance and action in the perfect combination.

I am sure I will read these books again!
