“Jayne Sparks, a potty-mouthed, rebellious seventeen-year-old and her best friend, shy and bookish Tony Green, have a pretty typical high school existence, until several seemingly unrelated incidents converge, causing a cascade of events that change their lives forever. Jayne and Tony, together with a group of runaway teens, are hijacked and sent into a forest, where nothing and no one are as they seem. Who will emerge triumphant? And what will they be when they do?”
Everyone knows how much I love fae books. So when this book feel upon my hand, I knew i had to read it.
Alright, I going to start off this review differently and say that the potty mouth main character Jayne, left me in hysterics. I could not for the life of stop laugh. Every smart remark, every snort, every innuendo made me laugh so much. And this is why I liked the book. For me this book was funny. Others might not see it as funny, but I did.
The plot line was okay but I felt like it needed a little more answers. For me, too much was pushed too quickly and I didn’t really get to grasp the whole concepts. Still, I was able to enjoy the book
There is really no love interest but I can definitely see one forming. I really loved reading this friendship grow. It’s rare to find a friend who can put with all you do and still be there for you.
I would not recommend this book to young teen. 18+. Mostly cause their is a lot of crude humor in it.
Overall, The Changeling is a good read. Nothing fast but nothing slow either. It’s predictable yet engaging.
I give it 4 BITES!
Happy Reading!

I love books with humor! They’re a welcome break from the ones that take themselves too seriously, hah. Sounds like this was a fun one. 🙂

I haven’t read any fae books (I know, I know!) But this does sound like a very good one to start with. I love my snarky characters with humor in there! I’ll have to add this to my ever growing list!
