Kora | 1 comments Jacob, about 15 years old, goes to his aunt's house because I think his parents are having a divorce. He is moody and full of hate. He falls through a mirror/ portal to another world. There are fea, dragons, gnomes, and all other mythical creatures.SLIGHT SPOILER: At one point Jacob is in the land of the fea and they offer him food. He is about to take it (making him be enslaved to them) when I think the love interest saves him. At the end of the book, Jacob has to go back to his world, but his love interest (I'm not for sure, but I think elf. Tall, thin, blonde almost white hair) has to stay in the world of the fea. It is about 300 pages most likely.
The cover had green smoke swirling around Jacob and a mirror/ portal. There are green thorny vines on the corners.

A guess - The Revenge of the Shadow King by Derek Benz? (parents divorcing, grandmother's house, portal)
