SWITCHED
Wendy Everly always knew she was different. Her "mother" Kim, accused her of being switched at birth and tried to kill her. She has a mysterious ability, she could influence people to do things she wanted them to do. Finn, the new guy at her school shows up at her window one night and tries to convince her to leave with him to a place called Forening, to meet her real parents. She never thought that she was really switched at birth but after she spoke to Finn Holmes all made sense, although she didn't want to leave her Aunt Maggie and her "brother, Matt. But after a while she finds out her home town aren't the only ones who sent people out to look for her, because the Vittra (Forening's enemy) attacks her one night, but luckily Finn isn't far off, and rescues her and drags her off to Forening.
Wendy realizes her real mother isn't much of a charmer than her not-so-real mother. Elora her mother is queen of the trylle. She also has abilities to paint the future. Wendy meets Rhys, and realizes that he looks oddly like her brother Mat.
She has a forbidden romance with Finn, who she falls deeply in love with, but decides to escape back home, with Rhys, to her not-so-real but "real" family.
Book one: Switched
I thought the book was brilliant. It was fast paced and perfectly written (I rarely say that). We see Wendy change and shift before our very eyes and we see all the other characters develop. Finn is sexy in my mind and anyone would want their relationship to work, but in book one it is a continuous struggle for love, and realism. The first book made me want to go straight to Bargain Books and buy the next one.
Coming up next is a review on Torn (book two)
