Switched

Author: Amanda Hocking
Hocking has taken the e-book world by storm with her Tyrelle series of fantasy mixed with horror, paranormal romance and teenage angst. In this book, the first of the trilogy, Wendy Everly is a young girl who keeps getting into trouble at school despite the best of intentions. People just don’t seem to like her. Even her mother was institutionalised years ago for trying to kill her – because she thought that Wendy was not her real daughter, but had been switched at birth. Wendy is about to discover the truth of that claim – that not only is her entire world built on a lie, but that she is the princess of a reclusive tribe of trolls with magical powers. She can also make people do whatever she wants by using her power of persuasion. Can she rule over the new world she finds herself in? Another complication is Finn, her handsome protector. Is it only duty that drives him? It is easy to become hooked to the world created by this 27-year-old author, so watch out for more! (Rs. 299)
