Tryll series by Amanda Hocking: Book three - Ascend

I finished this book today in under four hours. Wendy is in love with two guys, and neither are her husband. On top of all that drama she has to kill the Vittra king, her father. Her mother's health is depleting and she starts to form a loving bond with her. Loki comes back to Forening but this time, to stay. Finn is jealous but he knows he has to work with Loki to form an Army.
Will Wendy choose Finn or Loki?

Book three - Ascend

To be honest this book took me a while to get into. I loved learning more about Loki though. We see relationships form and become more complicated. The way Amanda brought her characters to life was breathtaking throughout the series. This book was much more intense than the other but for good reason. I loved the entire book but the whole pregnancy thing at the end seemed forced. I felt that Amanda just added that because she felt she had to, not because she wanted to, because during the entire series it is emphasized how important it is to produce offspring to keep the Trylle alive. Over all I loved this series, but I don't think I'll read the Watersong series, I already heard negative reviews, but you never know, only time can tell if I'll give it a go or not. I'll miss reading about Wendy and everyone is her life dearly. Luckily I'll have these amazing paperbacks forever.

Do yourselves a favor and read this. I know the troll thing isn't appealing but trust me, you'll change your mind on the first page of Switched. 

Tryll series by Amanda Hocking: Book two - Torn

Torn

Wendy, along with Rhys and Matt, become prisoners of the Vittra. Wendy learns that her father may not be dead after all. She meets Vittra Markis, Loki.

Loki helps them escape. Wendy, Rhys and Matt return to Forening where Matt is full of questions and disbelief. Wendy is forced to Marry Tove, the most powerful Markis in Forening. She doesn't love him though, she loves Finn, but Finn is too caught up in duty to fight for their love. Loki comes back looking for Wendy, but fails and becomes the prisoner himself. Wendy fights to save Loki from being executed. Everyone sees Loki as a threat, except for Wendy.

Book two: Torn.

I loved this book as much as the first, maybe even more. Loki just captures your soul and makes you fall in love with him. He is every girl's guilty pleasure. I finished this book in a lot less than a day, I fell head over heels for the series. Amanda Hocking is so talented. Finn is still in the picture. Wendy still loves him, but she has to marry Tove. 

Tryll Series by Amanda Hocking : Book One - Switched

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)
