Switched by Amanda Hocking

Switched by Amanda Hocking, 318 pages
(Book 1 of  the self-published Trylle series)

Wendy is a changeling. A creature left in place of a child that has been stolen away. That's what's explained to Wendy when she finds herself nearly kidnapped by brutal strangers. Wendy is shocked to hear this, but at the same time wonders if that's why her life has been so difficult. Her own mother always made it a point to say Wendy was not really her daughter. She even tried killing Wendy at her 6th birthday party. Had it not been for her human brother, Wendy would not have survived.  Learning there is a chance that she can really discover who she is, Wendy follows her "tracker" to seek her new life. What she finds is unimaginable danger and heartbreak around every corner. The story behind the switch of human children with supernatural creatures is an interesting one. The author does an excellent job in presenting this self-published story. Self-published is the keyword. This book is really enjoyable if you can overlook the lack of professional editing.
