Synopsis
Growing up in a trailer going from one state was all that Shayla knew until that heartbreaking day her grandfather died and the trailer had to be parked. Now Shayla is going on a new adventure from following natures wonders and home schooling she has to jump into high school.
If leaving homeschooling for high school wasn't enough she must learn to hide who she is, a half faerie, but things may not be so simple with a new best friend obsessed with all things paranormal, mean girls that make her want to become invisible (literally!) and the feeling that people can know her secret at any time.
Some of the things that I really liked about this story is that Shayla is aware of her heritage, she might not be 100% sure of what she can or can't do as a half faerie, but she can go on discovering it little by little, and I loved the scene of mystery we get wrapped at in Shayla's search for the truth and in getting to know who she can and cannot trust.
The way the author wraps things up is in a happy ending kind of style and that could put the author in a pickle if she wants to do a series, but that is also the reason why I wish this book becomes part of a series, the author has proven she can deliver a nice heartfelt story but I would like her to also confront the issues that are left undone in this book and may lead others to believe this book is not a stand alone.

Review
Shayla is a likable character that could be bordering the line of naive, but luckily she never does, this story is a lighthearted and sweet story about a girl trying to find out who she really is and contains some fantasy elements.Some of the things that I really liked about this story is that Shayla is aware of her heritage, she might not be 100% sure of what she can or can't do as a half faerie, but she can go on discovering it little by little, and I loved the scene of mystery we get wrapped at in Shayla's search for the truth and in getting to know who she can and cannot trust.
