Amanda Hocking writes young adult paranormal romance and fantasy, often using hidden supernatural communities and heroines who discover that their identity is not what they assumed. The Trylle trilogy begins with Switched, where Wendy Everly learns that she is connected to a society of trolls and is drawn into its royal politics and expectations. The My Blood Approves series turns to vampires and a central romantic triangle, while the Watersong books use siren mythology in a coastal setting. Hocking's novels are accessible, fast and relationship-led, with identity revelations, supernatural rules and romance carrying most of the plot. Switched is the strongest starting point for Hocking's hidden-world fantasy, while My Blood Approves offers a more straightforward vampire-romance route into her work. Read more Less
