Once Upon a Changeling

This is why I usually don t read indie books There are some great ones out there, like Nenia Campbell s Fearscape, and heaven knows traditional publishing houses push out some horrible books every now and then, but at least I won t find missing commas or capitalization mistakes inside And that s only the tip of what s wrong with this book.Once Upon a Changeling is an insult to all fey books out there I want to fall down on my knees and kiss Julie Kagawa s feet because that woman clearly did rese [...]

This book was a surprise I am a huge fan of dark faerie stories, and from the description I was expecting something macabre But Chambers manages to take a taboo subject and make it engaging and even funny in places I liked the main character right away Even though he has gone through some pretty extraordinary circumstances, Chambers depiction of high school hell is really believable.There were some truly great reading moments, like the faerie changeling who still looks like a baby but complains [...]

A fun paranormal young adult novel about a teenage boy stuck with a reputation and child that aren t his To complicate matters the child he s been raising is actually a faerie stand in while the original is set to be sacrificed in the fae realm Once Upon A Changeling is amusing and fast paced with an interesting take on faerie and changeling folk lore The characters are interesting and the high school setting helped fuel the drama I loved the main character and couldn t help feeling frustrated a [...]

Let me start by saying Once Upon a Changeling was a good read I can t say that it was a great read, but it was good It started out kind of slow for me was kind of hard to get into but the end caught me and it was exciting so I was glad that I finished it.Russ Knight is a teenage boy who s girlfriend, Cindi, cheated on him and got pregnant, then had a baby in the bathroom on prom night and tried to get rid of said baby by disposing of it in the garbage after trying to suffocate it After this happ [...]

all of the characters in this book were awful i enjoyed the story line well enough, but i wanted to slap every single character russ for being so easily gullible and fooledndi for not being honest about herself and how selfish she was by hurting others for her own needs, no matter how much it would emotionally ruin someoness s parents for not loving their kid unconditionally and just being plain horrible to him for being a victim and not listening cindi s parents for probably knowing the truth a [...]

Review Russ Knight is a character that I have never seen before and I ve had lots of different people and been many places weird people hang out What a strange teenager.This book was a good read I felt like it would not let me put it down It was not a grab you by the seat book, but it made the reader, I, feel like it had invisible strings that had a hold on me I had to find out the answers to the questions that the book made me ask I enjoyed the story line It kept me nailed to the book Just when [...]

I, like the main character Russ, don t know a lot about faeries and Fey and don t read many books that have them as characters However, when I heard the premise of this book was a supernatural take on girls having babies at prom and then going back to the dance, I knew it was for me I enjoyed that the story was told from a teenage boy s point of view and that this book didn t take itself too seriously despite a lot of serious subject matter Another good one from V.J Chambers

This book certainly wasn t what I expected it to be I m not sure what that was but this book topped that It s one of those hard to put down once you start reading it type of books I just HAD to know how Russ was going to get out of the jam his former girlfriend, Cindi, had left him in Trust me when I say, V J Chambers takes you along for the ride that becomes Russ life.

I liked it I felt bad for Russ, Cindi was not a very nice girl I have no sympathy for her at all Marcos didn t turn out to be such a good friend either I really liked Puck, she was awesome The premise of the story was fresh and enjoyed the way it ended Great job.

I enjoy vj chambers books They are usually dark and the romance is not usually perfect this book is one of those I very much enjoyed this book.

Best book I have read in a long time The suspense was awesome I could not put this book down until I was able to find out who the father was and if the baby would get returned.Great book.

Read as digital ARC.What hooked me about this book was the mystery aspect I mean, murder mysteries can be fun, but a who s the father mystery Hard to pass up.
