Review: Undraland by Mary E. Twomey

Undraland by Mary E. Twomey
My Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

After her parents and twin brother died a year ago, Lucy Kincaid was determined to put together a normal life for herself. With her heart set on college life, Lucy’s dreams of medical school are dashed when a rabid bear attacks her in the middle of suburbia. When Jens, a handsome yet irritable stranger, saves her life, Lucy’s gratitude is cut short when he abducts her, taking her to a land filled with people and creatures she remembers from bedtime stories she assumed were just Scandinavian folklore. 
Jens takes Lucy to a world she never expected, and cannot escape. Undraland is teeming with oversized garden gnomes, warrior elves, Nøkken, Fossegrimens, and worst of all, Sirens. Lucy goes further and further down the rabbit hole until she signs up to join a band of thieves bent on taking down Pesta, the last Siren. 

My Thoughts:

Undraland is land full of magical creatures. You have elves, dwarves, gnomes and much more. Lucy is taken to Undraland after weres (werebears and weredogs) keep trying to attack her. There is so much about Lucy's life that is not as she knew it. Her family kept a lot of secrets from her. Not to mention that there is a siren after her. She is trying to piece together what is real, what family she has left and what she needs to do to survive.

This book has me intrigued. The series has real possibilities. Of course, the author left the ending hanging to make you want to read book 2. I wish the author hadn't drug out the beginning so much. Just as the book was getting interesting, it ended abruptly. I did like the way Jens & Lucy were together. She always had a sarcastic and funny reply for him.
