Trylle Trilogy by Amanda Hocking

This first review is not about a Vampire Trilogy but it opened the doors to so many other books. The trilogy was too good not to mention.

So it all began. Seriously, the day I got my Nook (back in February 2011) I searched the Barnes & Noble website for books. I came across a Nook Book for only $0.99. It was titles Switched. What really caught my eye (besides the price) was the cover art. It looked cool so I checked out the review. The overview was very vague and brief. No, I don’t want a summary of the book but three sentences really wasn’t a whole lot to go by. With the price what it was I figured why not? No real harm. I have always had an issue with books not catching my attention or after so many pages I lose interest. I was pleasantly surprised with the book. I couldn’t put it down. The way Amanda writes is awesome. The book and story line really drew me in. The main character is Wendy, right away you can relate to her. Honestly, who hasn’t at some point thought they might be adopted (ha ha ha). We should think it could be a whole lot different that’s for sure. Switched opens you up to the possibility of a whole other world within our own. I have a young child so the majority of my reading is done when he is asleep. I read Switched into the early hours of the morning. You become entwined in Wendy’s life. Her journey into her new world and her love life and what all it brings. I just could not put it down. I had to force myself to go to sleep and wait until the following day to read the next book. The awesome thing is that yes I got hooked with the first book (it was only $0.99) and now I HAVE to get the other two. Major plus is they were available and not expensive at all.
The second book in the trilogy is Torn. It dives deeper into the new world Wendy finds herself in. She starts to accept her new life and all that comes with it. The third book is Ascend. That finally completes everything. I fell in love with the characters. It felt like I became a part of Wendy. I read all three books in less than three days. They were amazing. I loved the books so much I wanted to read more. Of course there was no more it was a trilogy, only three books.

I didn’t want to write a lot about the books but I highly recommend the series. I could grade each book with an A! Each one kept me wanting more.

So now what?.....
