Goodreads Synopsis:

When Wendy Everly was six-years-old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It isn't until eleven years later that Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. With the help of Finn Holmes, Wendy finds herself in a world she never knew existed - a world both beautiful and frightening, and Wendy's not sure she wants to be a part of it.

My Thoughts:
Amanda Hocking is an indie publishing sensation whose self-published novels have sold millions of copies all over the world, and Switched is the book that started the phenomenon. Prepare to be enchanted…

Switched was better than I thought it was going to be. I am not a big fan of the faeries or trolls but Amanda made this seriously interesting for me.

I was very very happy with this novel. It was fast paced and very enjoyable. I loved Wendy and Finn. They were absolutely adorable. The push and pull of their relationship was a very fun dynamic.

I was not impressed with Elora. The ice queen persona was a little too much for me. I am hoping that with the next novel's that I will understand her a little bit better.

I think that Rhys was absolutely adorable. He was fun and loveable and very sweet. He made the novel very enjoyable.

There was action, adventure, romance and just plain fun throughout the entire novel. I want to thank Amanda for making a sub genre that I am not to fond of very very enjoyable for me.

I am highly anticipating reading the rest of the series. Bring on Torn!!

I Give This 4/5 Hearts!
