Finders Keepers eBook Annalisa Gulbrandsen
This book was an unexpected gem hidden in the Amazon Indie rough. I believe it used to have a different cover, one that shows up on the inside of the book. Either that or it was posted elsewhere because I remember seeing this other cover and passing it up because it was very amateur looking which made me think the book probably was also. I'm really glad the author changed the cover because I might not have given it a chance if not for the new cover.It does start with the main character Ellie in a thrift store trying on a wedding dress. The action starts in that thrift store and is pretty consistent from there on out.
What I liked about this book:
It wasn't your typical YA paranormal/fantasy characters. Trolls! How cool. Someone asked me are they the scary trolls or the Amanda Hocking type trolls. I haven't read the Amanda Hocking troll books so I can't honestly make a comparison but I think there were a little of both in this book.
I also liked that it wasn't your typical YA characters. It wasn't the new kid in town drawn to the hottest boy in school or the hot new boy that shows up and is drawn to the dumpy/plain/shy girl that no one likes/pays attention to. The character had deep roots in the town as did all the characters.
The last thing that I really liked was that you weren't really sure who was the good guy or the bad guy and I wasn't entirely sure how things were going to pan out.
There were of course little things of course that I could point out, but I won't because to be honest they were minimal and the story was very well written and for an Indie very well edited. I usually prefer first person narration for my young adult novels but the author did such a wonderful job that I wasn't aware of the POV after the first couple of pages. Plainly stated, the story had heart.
My only complaint is, after I was finished with the book I wanted to know if there would be a sequel and to twitter/blog stalk the author as I do with many authors whose books I like, but I was unable to find anything except a bio on Authonomy.com.
I would give this book 4.5 stars if any of the sites I'll be posting the review on had that option. Since they don't I'm rounding it up to 5 stars because I was unable to finish the last two Indie books I attempted. So, this book gets a bonus half star for not only being good enough to finish but good enough for me to really like.

Finders Keepers eBook Annalisa Gulbrandsen Reviews
What a refreshing book. Not werewolves or vampires or even fairy.
I know it's been a few years since this book was published but maybe one day the author will continue this series. I'd love to read more about this world she has created.
I really ejoyed this book. It was an original concept and I like that. The characters made you care. I do hope this is the first book in a series because I want to know more!
This book kept my attention. I could not put it down. Not one boring part. Suspense on every page I recommend this book.
Very original and entertaining. Kept me guessing. Great first book from this authoress. I hope she comes out with a sequel.
Don't pay any attention to the cover, the book is actually really good. There is action right as you start it and all the way through it. Yes it does have romance, but in no way is it sappy or cliche. In the end I was left with too many questions so I hope there is a sequel. All in all I was kept guessing until the very last chapter and I haven't read anything like that in a while. It was truly a breath of fresh air.
