Morgan and Cam are just the average high school sweethearts; he's the high school star quarterback and she's the bubbly girlfriend pepped with spirit. But every relationship has its kinks: Morgan is psychic, and Cam is a fairy.

Well. Almost a fairy. Switched at birth, Cam must return to his true fairy home on the night of his sixteenth birthday and take his rightful place as heir to the Seelie throne. But that would mean giving up everything he's worked toward his whole life- including Morgan. Determined to stay together in this world, Morgan and Cam team up with Pip, the boy who was switched with Cam at birth, to fool the fairies once and for all. After all, true love conquers everything, right?

I thought this book was just "okay". It's a short book, and I think that was one of the problems. The ending was very rushed. I also just did not like Morgan at all. She was very superficial and shallow. This was the girl who called her boyfriend her "yummy boyfriend" way too many times for my taste, and then when he started his transformation into a fairy, she called his a "nutcase" or "Mr. Freaky Back Tumor". Yeah, not exactly terms of endearment for someone who constantly reminded the reader that they were "true loves".


It was a cute story. Definitely not "hardcore fantasy", and thus wasn't something I would normally be into. But the humor was good and the ending may have had me tearing up a little bit.

ETA: I rarely go back and rate-down a book but the more I dwelled on this book, the angrier I got. The plot was cute, yes, but I can't get over how unbelievable shallow the characters, ESPECIALLY Morgan, are in this story. Very big turn-off for me as a reader.



***Spoiler Alert***

Another thing that bothered me was that the author didn't really explain Morgan's psychic abilities other than briefly mentioning that she was an "enchantress". So what? What does that have to do with anything? Why didn't that play a bigger role in the plot (other than her visions and being immune to fairy illusions)? It feels like the author just stuck this in for convenience. I also would have liked to see a different ending, one not as rushed. Like the fact that Morgan was an enchantress meant she, too, could cross the portal WITH Cam, leading up to a sequel in the fairy world in a battle of "true love" between a fairy and a human. I mean, I understand the author's intention of the relationship twist at the end of the book, but as I've said, it was too sudden on Morgan's behalf (I did enjoy Pip's sense of loyalty to Morgan since birth and that he would sacrifice himself for 'true love' for her. So I guess I'm torn between liking the ending and not liking it.)

oh and one more little pet peeve: the whole time, this supposed portal was assumed to be a physical portal that, if left open, can allow a wandering human into the fairy world. As if someone walking back a certain grove of trees can suddenly be transported to a different world. But at the end of the book, the portal is a metaphorical portal? How can an unsuspecting human stumble upon a metaphorical portal?
