Let's be real: Amanda Hocking doesn't need any help from us to work her fans into a rabid, frothing frenzy over her "Trylle" books, the three-part story of a girl who discovers that she's actually a powerful member of a race of unearthly beings. (Girlfriend self-published the series in 2010 and earned, like, a bajillion dollars and the sort of public adoration most authors can only dream of.) But nevertheless, we are very excited to have an EXCLUSIVE first look at the book trailer—which comes just a few short weeks before the publication of the book by St. Martin's Griffin!
You can't beat the storyline for "Switched," the book that starts off the series with a bang: When Wendy Everly was a little girl, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to end her life. And while crazy mom has been locked away in the loony bin since her attempt at murdering her own daughter, Wendy is starting to wonder whether there might have been something to her mom's paranoia after all. Enter Finn Holmes—the mysterious, sexy guardian who's been watching over Wendy until she was old enough to learn the truth about her supernatural origins—and the revelation of a hidden world full of mysteries, dangers, and untapped powers that Wendy never knew she had.
Intrigued? YEAH YOU ARE. The book hits stores January 3, in a brand-new trade paperback edition that also includes bonus material: previously unreleased short stories set in the magical world of the Trylle.
