NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ELLE CASEY, brings readers Book 1 in the YA Urban Fantasy WAR OF THE FAE Series. 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?

I really liked this YA. Great snark, good writing and a decent story. And guess what? The main character was actually thinking at one point that she wasn't up to a love triangle, so I hope the author keeps to that. The 'Read-me-I'm-just-as-good-as-Twilight" teen-aged love triangle is the cheapest and most overused trope in YA today and I wish it could be banned.

I don't know about you, but when I was a teenager it was hard enough to hold onto one guy, much less two. Let me stop lest the rant take over.

The Changelings was a good book and don't let the cliffhanger fool you. Books 1 thru 4 are ready for the reading--Enjoy ( )

Hilarious.

The storyline of this book is serious, but the author did a fantastic job of lightening it through humor. There were many points that I was laughing literally out loud. The ending was abrupt which was kind of disappointing. But over all great story and characters. ( )

Picking up The Changelings was something I am so happy I did! After finishing this last night, I'm still reeling from the total awesome package that Elle Casey has put forth in this story. Fabulous characters, an amazing and quick moving plot line, dark ktwists and turns. This is a book that I absolutely devoured. Anyone who tells you self-published books are inferior to traditionally published books...well they haven't read this.

Jayne Sparks is quite a powder keg of a girl! She's feisty, she's tough, and she has more potential brewing inside her than she truly knows. Equipped with a mouth to match her attitude, there are quite a few times where Jayne's sentiments about her situation made me crack up laughing. Be warned, Jayne does have a potty-mouth. If she's feeling it, she's not afraid to speak it (or think it rather loudly). I loved her for that. Her wit keeps the book moving, and her honest feelings keep you in step with her the whole way through the book.

The other characters don't fade into black though, despite how lovely and loud Jayne is. Each of her compatriots has their own fantastic personality, complete with strengths and weaknesses. I grew to adore each of them in time. To be honest I became so wrapped up in them after a while, that any time there was the possibility of a battle I was breathless. You know that feeling when you don't want your favorite person to be snuffed out? Multiply that by the number of characters in this book and you've got a reader who is barely breathing as she flips the pages.

I'm not going to lie, The Changelings initially threw me off. I heard fae, and I thought about every other book I've read pertaining to their lore. Color me surprised when Jayne's story was a lot darker than I expected. The plot moves at a fiery pace, and the twists and turns will keep you on your feet. There is death in this story. There is blood, gore and fighting. Fair warning. If that's not for you, you might want to keep your distance. If you're like me though, you'll eat it up and just read faster.

Long story short, this was a book that I more than enjoyed! I loved it. The ending caught me off guard, although it was perfectly done. With that evil cliffhanger looming over me, you can guarantee that I'll be impatiently waiting for more! Now that I've met Jayne, now that I've seen what fantastic writing Elle Casey is capable of, I'm a fan girl. Count me in for more. ( )

This is the second of the books in the six pack that I wrote about earlier. Elle Casey is one of the wunderkind of self publishing, up there with Amanda Hocking and Hugh Howey as a breakthrough success, but I don't think this is one of her best known books (or series).
[...]
Not so successful (for me): A really hard cliffhanger that comes almost out of nowhere. While the smaller conflict of "the experiment" is resolved, at the last minute we're introduced to the larger conspiracy, a whole lot of new players, and our heroes are given a choice. And then it ends. I know that's pretty typical of YA series, but it makes me insane - I think these should be marketed as serials, not series or trilogies, but that's a personal peeve. In the end, this is well written enough to make me want to check out more of the author, but I'm not sure I'll bother with more of this particular series.

I absolutely loved this book! I mean seriously, I have nothing bad to say about it. It is a wonderful story full of action & adventure. I stayed interested throughout the whole book and didn't want to put it down.

The heroine is hilarious, with her potty-mouth and snarky comments, she kept me laughing through the entire book. Jayne is just a great leading lady. She is interesting in a quirky way, funny, and totally kick-ass. She is tough and when she doesn't feel that way she just uses bravado to get her through a situation.

The other characters in the book are interesting too. You feel like they are really a part of the story and not just sitting on the sidelines. I loved Tony, her best friend, and hope to see more of him in subsequent books. I really grew to like Spike, Chase, & Becky too.

The book was well written and a thoroughly enjoyable read. I completely loved it.
