Changeling by Debbie Herbert is a fantastic love story steeped in Fae lore and Southern charm. I love that Debbie's work is set in familiar Southern locales that I know and love.
I am a HUGE fan of Debbie Herbert's work, and Changeling is another hit in my book! This novel deserves to be an NYT bestseller! Debbie's characters are so real and easy to relate to! I love Kheelan, Skye, and Kyle! I also love how each of Debbie's books has a lovable Autistic character. I feel that it's so important to spread awareness, love, and support for Autistic people and those who love them.
I've also loved fairies and fairy lore for my ENTIRE life and this book re-awakened that love! If you need magic and love in your life, this is the book for you!

Fairies are not always bright shiny things. Even the Seelie can have their darkside. I love that Debbie Herbert kept her fairies a bit sinister. They are tricky and conniving and look down on anything outside of the Fae. This includes the changeling, Kheelan, and the human girl, Skye.
Kheelan was amazing. He was just the right amount of dark and brooding with a bit of wistfullness about him when it came to his human family. He's instantly enthralled with Skye the first time he sees her and isn't surprised to find out that she's something a little special.
Skye on the other hand, wasn't quite as strong a character for me. She was very well-rounded and I loved her reactions to finding out about her true past, and she had a bit of a goofy, humorous side to her personality that Kheelan was definitely missing. They made a great combo and are a pretty good example of opposites attract and all.
The fairy realm was still one of wonder and enchantment - but it was a world at war. The Seelie were looking for a savior and the Unseelie were looking to stop a savior. There's a good dose of excitment and battle of sorts in the pages. My only complaint was the ending. It was, in theory, a very satisfying conclusions. But it lost some of the gritty edge that I had really enjoyed throughout the story and got just a tad bit sticky sweet in comparison.

This is a paranormal romance in the New Adult category. Skye is in her first year of college and works at a New Agey psychic store where they sell charms and do psychic and tarot readings. She is a witch, and when she meets a handsome young man named Kheelan, who she later learns is a changeling - a child stolen by the fae and replaced by one of their own, who is enslaved to the fairies, her life gets more interesting. Faeries, witches, magic, mystery and romance abound in this novel. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
