Wings [Kindle Edition]

What happens when you find out that you are different. Not just a little different but really DIFFERENT?!

Laurel finds herself in public school for the first time when she is a sophomore. She has been homeschooled in a small cabin in the forest. Her parents moved to Crescent City, in Northern California, about an hour away from her cabin to open a bookstore.

At her high school Laurel meets David, and he invites her to join his group of friends. He also becomes her best friend.

As she is getting settled into her new life, she gets a bump on her back - which grows bigger and bigger until she sprouts a pretty blue blossom. This blossom makes her look like she has wings.

She manages to hide it from her family and the people at school, but she and David begin to investigate. He looks at cells of her blossom and her cheeks and comes to the conclusion that she is made of plant cells.

Laurel goes back to her cabin home in search of answers. There she meets Tamani, a gorgeous young man who tells her that she is a fairy. She has been helping the fairies guard a secret that is by her cabin home.

Later, her dad takes ill and Laurel and David risk their lives fighting trolls, who are trying to acquire Laurel's forest home. These trolls are scary! They are big, strong, and the main one is smart.

WINGS is the first of four books, and it leaves us with Laurel living two different lives. Should she go back to her fairy life with Tamani, or stay and guard her adoptive parents and be with David, who Laurel also has feelings for?

I really loved this book. It had everything: love, chases, close escapes, dramatic choices, and lots of magic. The writing was very good, and at some points I had to put down the book just because I was so nervous for the characters, which for me means that I was totally involved in the story.

Laurel is someone who I would want to be my best friend. David is also fantastic. He is what I would love to meet and have in my life. He is accepting, brave, and extremely helpful. Tamani is strong, intense, and sexy! What a choice!

I highly recommend this series. It is fun and very believable. Go now and buy your copy of WINGS!

Laurel has been home schooled for most of her life until her parents decide to move from their log cabin to a small city to open a book shop. She has to attend proper school for the first time ever and is initially at a loss how to fit in properly.

A boy called David befriends her and this is just as well because Laurel is changing and changing into something very different indeed. One morning she wakes up and finds a small bump on her back and thinking it is nothing more than a spot, ignores it.......however, this spot grows and grows until it suddenly blooms into a flower. Terrified she eventually confides in David and they set out to find out what the blossom is and what indeed she is...........

It is not until Laurel makes a trip back to her old home near the woods that things become clear to her. She meets a young man called Tamani who tells her she is a Faerie and was placed on her parents doorstep at three years old so the Fae could see how their kind could interact with humans. Also, he has an urgent message for her.........she must stop her Mother selling the cabin and land at all costs. Why? Well, you'll have to read this excellent book to find out but I promise, you'll like it.

Very different from the Melissa Marr series of books but different in a good way. They are both excellent writers.

This book is trying to represent fairies in a diffremt way. A changeling mary sue called Laurel is abit confused why there is a flower growing on her back. It turns out that she is a PLANT. She meets A green haired fairy called Tamani who I have devwloped a hate for. The book is about her being chased by some trolls who arent reallly trolls because if you have read any Discworld books you know trolls are rocks. I didnt like the writing style at all. There wasone swearword from the David who was the only character I like.
