This was such a good book. It was a typical book of an unsung hero who discovers their destiny and along the way meets true friends, faces true evil, and has a happy ending with some love mixed in. I liked this book because of its predictability, I like that in my life because I struggle with unpredictability. I also am such a sucker for romance and fantasy. I loved how Tamani was so passionate because of a deep rooted friendship that him and Laurel had in the previous times in Avalon. I love that they have a back story and some credibility with each other, even though she does not remember it. I have high hopes that she chooses him in the future rather than David because her life cold be so much more juicy and adventurous with Tamani because of who he is, rather than David who can just give her a life that every human can have. Below is a link to Good Reads. In the comments you can read about others reactions to it, but be warned, its not all hot guys and fairies.

First of all, I saw the foreshadowing of biology class. I knew there was a reason behind David being into science. I also figured out that Laurel had to be something not human because of the way she ate and needed to be in the sunlight and have fresh air. No one likes walking in the rain unless they want to.
Now, Tamani. I change my mind completely. If I were Laurel I would totally go for Tamani (but then there would be no story). He is so genuine and passionate about Laurel it makes me melt. He gave her a small ring that is supposed to grow around the finger as the fairies grow in hopes that he would remember her.  That is so meaningful. I love it. It could be the element that Tamani is totally not human that makes him my favorite character. Training to be s sentry at such a young age just to be close to her as she grows up too just sealed the deal for me.
Now there are trolls involved and they gross me out, but the way they are created reflects what they represent very well. They are ugly and disfigured because they are the evil in the story. I predict that the Trolls will end up finding the gate to Avalon.

I really like Laurel. I think that she is probably really pretty. I totally want to be her just because of the way she eats and the way she is graceful. I eat pizza and walk like a caveman. When the book first introduced David, I knew off the bat that him and Laurel were going to like each other. I like David though too because he is responsible even though he does not have a dad and his mom is kinda strict. That shows allot about him.

Laurel, David and Tamani encounter some close calls with the trolls, and since Laurel has bloomed, Laurel has been exposed and the trolls now know who she is, just by her smell. Laurels mom has finally drawn up the papers and is letting Barnes buy the land because her father has ended up with a strange illness and could possibly die. With that money, medical bills wont be an issue, however, Laurel attempts to stop Barnes from getting those papers by facing him herself.. kinda. Laurel and Tamani engage in a fight with Barnes, but Laurel got the papers before Barnes could actually own the land, not without a near death experience from Tamani being shot by Barnes. Now it is a race against the clock to get Tamani to the gates of Avalon to attempt to save his life. Once Laurel gets to the land, she musters all of her strength to get Tamani closer to the gate. Telling David to stay behind, the other sentries finally help Laurel and they make it to the gate. With bright light, the gate opens and out walks a older winter fairy, almost king like, Jamison. Jamison assures Laurel that Tamani will be taken care of and offers her all of her "heritage" and gives her gifts to help with the medical bills, buy the land and to save her dad.
At the very end, Laurel see's Tamani for the first time since the accident and they talk about how Laurel could stay and be with him. Just as I thought Laurel had no spark for Tamani, she runs back to him and they passionately kiss.

In the middle things spice up, TONS. Laurel has found out that she has plant cells, so she must be a plant, Right? Wrong.
Laurel and her mother take a trip to the house and land they are selling to clean things up. Reminiscing, Laurel takes a stroll through the deep part of her land to let her "wings" air out. Out of no where a new main character comes into the picture explaining everything she has been wondering. His name is Tamani and he is a fairy sentry and a long ago friend of Laurel, that she has forgotten. Tamani warns her of selling this land, and freaks her out a little bit. Just learning that she too is a fairy would be overwhelming! Laurel then goes home, feeling some strange feelings for Tamani. Love, warmth, confusion.. She totally feels like she knows him but cant remember a thing. Jump forward a little and Laurel learns that her parents are selling to Jeremiah Barnes, a troll who seeks the gate entrance to Avalon, to take all of its riches. With the help of David and Tamani, Laurel knows her role, and all the she has to do to protect her new found identity.

In the beginning of this book, Laurel is the main character with some changes happening. She moved away from her childhood home and met some nice people, particularly David, a geeky hunk who is pretty fond of Laurel, too. Laurel is in biology with David and they are learning about plants and how they need sunlight, which is odd because Laurel needs all of these things or else she becomes sick. HMM... then appears a bump in the middle of her back. Itchy with no signs of getting smaller, Laurel almost goes to the doctor and then BAM! flower like petals appear from her back! Why?
