Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin

Phoebe finds herself drawn to Mallory, the strange new girl at school. The two become as close as sisters...until Mallory's strange magnetic older brother, Ryland, appears. Ryland has an immediate, exciting hold on Phoebe. But it's a dangerous hold, for it makes her question her feelings about her best friend and, worse, about herself.

Then Phoebe discovers the shocking, fantastical truth about Ryland and Mallory, and about an age-old debt they expect Phoebe to pay. Will she be strong enough to resist? Will she be special enough to save herself?

Intensely page-turning, this follow-up to Nancy Werlin's best selling novel Impossible links the real and otherworldly in a story that is magical, suspenseful, and utterly alluring.

  1. I am loving this book. The beginning is very confusing though because the author kind of just throws you into the story without knowing everything about the characters. There seems to be two worlds, but I'm not entirely sure yet. I think there's a lot of information to the history of Phoebe's family that the author hints at, but I have yet to know. What I really like about this book is that the author hints at things, but she never really tells you the whole story; she lets your imagination fill in the blanks.

  2. I like books like this. But sometimes it is good to tell us some stuff at the beginning of the story. However, I think that a lot of books that i don't like are too drug on in the beginning and give the impression of being a boring book overall.

  3. I'm about half way through this book now, and it's starting to make a little more sense. It sounds like there is an ancient dept in Phoebe's family and this "faerie queen" expects her to pay it off. I'm not sure what the dept is or how Phoebe's supposed to pay it off, but it sounds intriguing.

  4. Sadly, I am still reading this book. I have kind of given up on it and moved onto other books. The story line got really confusing because I am two-thirds of the way through and I'm still totally not understanding what's going on. All I know is that these two people/children from a fairy world have come here to retrieve an ancient debt to the Rothschild family. The whole story is about these people deceiving this girl, but I don't know what for. What is the debt that the Rothschild family owes and why?
