The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff
2.0
Not the most amazing book ... a bit too much teen-melodrama for me, what I imagine Twilight to be like. You know, angsty and darkish. I will say it was an interesting take on the story of the changeling, and a refreshing change from vampires, zombies, and fairies that seem to have taken over the teen and adult book world.
It was, however, always raining, wet, misting, dreary, etc, which makes for an 'overcast' feeling when reading it. I would have preferred more of the underground/ story of the Morrigan and the Lady, and all the creepies living in the House of Misery and the other house. I imagined these creatures from some Tim Burton animated film, like "Nightmare Before Christmas."
