Switched

From Books

"When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. She’s not the person she’s always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel—all because of Finn Holmes.

Finn is a mysterious guy who always seems to be watching her. Every encounter leaves her deeply shaken…though it has more to do with her fierce attraction to him than she’d ever admit. But it isn’t long before he reveals the truth: Wendy is a changeling who was switched at birth—and he’s come to take her home.

Now Wendy’s about to journey to a magical world she never knew existed, one that’s both beautiful and frightening. And where she must leave her old life behind to discover who she’s meant to become…"


Wendy is a Trylle changeling, for those that don't know what a Trylle is, it is s type of Troll. She has never really felt she fit in, she can't seem to get along with anyone other than her brother and her aunt. Even her mom tries to kill her.
Finn the new kid in school who seems to be constantly watching her, it turns out he is her tracker, he is suppose to take her to her real home. She probably would have stayed where she was if it weren't for the fact that another group of Trylle's are out to get her, and seem to be willing to use whatever means possible to do so.
When she goes with Finn to meet her new mom she is hopeful that she will now fit in. To her disappointment she finds her real mom cold. She also finds out she is a princess. However the Vittra are still trying to get her, even in her new compound like home.
I like the book, it is the first of a trilogy. I have read the second book, and it was good, but not as good as the first.
