Book Description

Annabelle Walsh thought she had it all. She was the star of her swim team, had a loving family, a great boyfriend, and to top it off, she’d be starting at UCLA in the fall. One day, she’d be referred to as Dr. Annabelle Walsh.

She was living every girl’s dream – until her life was turned upside down. All starting with finding out that she's not just a human, but also a water spirit. Half-human, half-sprite to be exact. Although not just any sprite, Annabelle is prophesied to be the only one who can save both the sprites and mankind.

With a mix of current events, anecdotes from Greek mythology, tidbits of folklore, and Leigh’s own imagination, we join Annabelle in her journey to restore order beneath the sea. Each step of the way her mind, body, and soul are pushed to the limit begging the question, how much can one half-human, half-sprite take?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun and Fast Paced YA Fantasy! October 8, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
'Sprite' is the first book in the young adult fantasy series, Annabelle's Story. It follows the main character, Annabelle Walsh, as her entire life comes crashing down around her when she learns she is actually half water sprite. On top of this bomb, she learns that she isn't just any half sprite, she is the one prophesied about - the one who will save humans and sprites alike. Will Annabelle be able to accept her fate and save the world?

I found this book to be a fast-paced and fun read with tons of adventure and great fantasy characters. I found it interesting how the author presented the sprite culture and their history. There are tons of mermaid books out there, but the water sprites brought a unique and refreshing feel to the fantasy genre in young adult fiction.

This story was somewhat predictable but had great twists and adventures that I didn't see coming. I easily reconnected to Annabelle and identified with her early in the story. The ending was a good fit for a first in a series - it doesn't leave the ending too closed and it doesn't leave too many questions unanswered either. All in all, 'Sprite' is a great start to a fun and interesting series. Fans of fantasy YA fiction and mermaid lore will love this series.

Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
