Switched

Wendy Everly knew she was different the day her mother tried to kill her and accused her of having been switched at birth.

Switched by Amanda Hocking is the first instalment to the Trylle Series. This book was interesting, witty and in some bits will make you're heart skip a beat. But I wasn't dieing to read the next novel as I am with most books in fact I was rather disappointed with the novel as there was so much hype I was expecting a bit more but however I did find it rather entertaining non-the-less. Switched is the story of a girl called Wendy that doesn't fit in and everyone pretty much hates her except her aunty Maggie and brother Matt but she is forced to leave them because the dark and handsome Finn claims that she was switched at birth and that (to top it off) she is a troll. As everything falls into place Wendy in-counters the troubles of being the princess of Forening and the drama of forbidden love. I just hope that the second book makes more sense because while there is an enjoyable novel here, it does need a little more "push" I guess you could say to make it really captivating.®

Summary from book jacket:

With everything around her changing, Finn is the only person she can trust. But dark forces are conspiring- not only to separate them, but to see the downfall of everything that Wendy cares about.
