The Ever After by Amanda Hocking
3.0
Ulla Tulin wakes up in a plane with no memory of getting there. Her gut feeling tells her that something is up and that she needs to get to the bottom of it, but she needs her friends to help her fill in the missing pieces.
It's not every day that you suddenly forget a month worth of memories, but it's also not every day that you get captured by your father and half-sisters so they can perform a sacred ritual. Unfortunately, this is what happens to Ulla and her friends.
After leaving Sweden, Ulla tries to remember what has happened during the last month and why her father so badly wanted to drain her of her blood (no he is not a vampire, sorry).
I was of course more invested in The Ever After than I was in The Lost City. It feels like Hocking was just setting up a scene for a whole lot of things to happen in The Morning Flower and The Ever After. This is still a very good trilogy and I would definitely recommend it if you need some light fantasy reading.
The characters were a good bunch, although in a few years time I am sure I won't remember them all that well (She says like she really met them).. But I did enjoy the dynamics of the group.
Yes, Wendy and Finn from the original Trylle trilogy also make their way in the books, but I wasn't as invested in the characters this time.
Maybe a reread would change my opinion, in about two or three years.
