~Review & Giveaway!!~ Fairy Circle by Johanna Frappier

1st Line in book---> “Saffron, are you ok?”

REVIEW:
This was one fascinating story!! The whole time I was reading it, I had no idea what the end result would be!! The story is complex and leaves you guessing. You try to piece together the clues that you are given, but when you reach the end.....you're left wanting to know what happens next!!! I know I am!! Mrs. Frappier, I am anxiously waiting for the next installment!!

Saffron has just graduated from highschool, and is perfectly happy just staying at home. Even as her Mother and her boyfriend continously ask what her plans are for the future?? Is she thinking about getting a job or going to college?? Why doesn't she go out with her highschool friends?? She is so tired of the pressure...can't her Mother just understand that she likes being alone!! That she feels secure and safe just staying at home!! She doesn't want any of those things, but she does want to appease her mother. So when she mentions that a clerk position has opened in town she grudgingly applies and gets the job.

Suddenly, Saffron finds herself experiencing weird things. She has always had disturbing dreams since she was a child, but now they become nightmares. She encounters the Fairy world through a form of astral projection. The fairies she meets seem familiar, although she doesn't recall them. As the story progresses, Saffron's simple life becomes more complicated. As her crush begins to notice her and a vampire comes to town, she must figure out what is happening to her and decide who she can trust.

The story started a little slow for me and it also took me a little bit of getting used to. I am used to knowing where the plot is heading or being given an idea about what to expect. With this book, you have to keep reading and piece together the clues the author slowly reveals. I was thoroughly engrossed with the story after it started to pick up! In the beginning, Saffron is timid and a loner. She reminded me of a little bunny that frightens easily. I was happy to see her character grow as the story continues!! The other character are great. Each one of them has his/her own agenda. I felt like I was playing Clue, and to figure out their motives....I loved every minute of it!!! I have my favorites and hope my analysis of them is correct! :D But that can change at anytime, because there is soo much that is left unknown!! Fairy Circle is the first book in the series, and I will definitely be waiting for the next!!
