I love this book.
It's fast pace mixed with a good amount of characters. I don't always love fae stories but this is done so well it doesnt shove it down your throat.
Nothing really negative to say. Typical cliff hanger at the end which makes me want to read the next (which I may do). I really advise anyone that likes magic and supernatural to read this because its not just the typical fairy things its all of it packed into a book.
The characters are pretty damn likeable to, which is well good. It is also slightly humourous if you are like me and giggle at books. Nothing more to add than buy this book (its free on amazon as I was happy to find out) I really doubt you will be unhappy with it.

Very good story, introducing a seventeen year old girl that feels like the odd man out. When something happens at home, her best friend Tony takes her away to Miami, and there they join a rag tag group of runaways. Looking for money they join a test group to get $500. But when they're accepted, the real suspense begins. Very refreshing, and well written.

Love books about fae
Another Fae series I can dive into! And I always love a new twist on fairies and Fae folklore. I love Jayne and her sassy spunk! The other characters are great and I'm interested to see what relationships develop over the next books. This is a great start to what I'm sure is going to be a great series!! Can't wait to start the second book!

Jayne und Tony sind voll klasse zusammen!
Aber trotzdem fand ich die Handlung ein bisschen "meh".

I was surprised how much I loved this book. I was hooked from the start, and laughing through all of it. Jaynes humor and attitude made this such an easy book to read and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

The Changelings completely surprised me! Just by looking at the cover, or even reading the description, you would never guess that it was such an adventurous and exciting novel. When I first started it, I wasn't sure exactly where it was going to take me. I knew it was about fey and faeries, but it didn't seem to be heading in that direction. And then, a few chapters in, things got REALLY interesting. All I can say is that you definitely won't expect it.
What I loved was that Elle Casey made what went on in the novel seem so natural. Things started getting progressively fantastical, and it didn't seem weird at all. Even to the characters, they just took everything in stride. I also really liked that the magic came in spurts and didn't all just happen at once. All too often does it happen that fantasy novels just throw all this information at the reader about the magical aspect of the novel, and it's information overload. It also takes the fun out of things, I think. In The Changelings, it's like putting the pieces of the puzzles together, and each chapter holds a new one. You're able to make your own assumptions, some right and some wrong, but there's still some pieces missing and you have to keep reading to find them.
All of the characters are so vivid and fun to read about. Elle writes from the perspective of Jayne, the potty-mouthed spunky protagonist of the novel, so it's safe to say that she's quite a colorful character. I really related to her, because I saw a lot of my own personality in her. She's very brusque and sarcastic, and she has a "fun" vocabulary. Whatever you may feel about The Changelings while reading it, bored is not one of those things.
The ending was fantastic, because it allowed just a bit of closure, but still left off at a great place that makes you want to read the second book immediately. Luckily, the sequel is already available!
For romance lovers, there are hints of romance here and there. Nothing huge, because Jayne is basically fighting for her life the whole novel, but it's there. There are some really yummy guys in this novel, and I really can't wait to see where things go in the romance department.
