Spells by Aprilynne Pike

After discovering and struggling with the fact that she is an adopted fairy, the story of Laurel continues in this sequel to the book Wings.
The novel starts when she meets Tamani again, her guide in the land of fairies, and she is also starts taking classes at the fairy high school Academy of Avalon. But Laurel isn't happy there, and she misses her human world boyfriend David and her human parents. But she also gets deeper feelings for Tamani, and he confirms he is really in love with her. Laurel has to juggle her two lives, the human and the fairie one, and she has to make some though decisions..
Danger is threatening the fairie world and Lauren. Evil trolls are stalking her and David and friend Chelsea. Can she survive all this and decide where she really belongs ?

Somehow Spells isn't enchanting and sparkly as Wings. This sequel lacked actual plotting, and as it was more than 300 pages long, it is hard to sit out when there isn't any excitement in the story. Sometimes it is just better, with books and movies, that there is just one movie or book and no sequel, because the sequel can be really dissapointing when you compare it. Spells is one of those books. The first book was great, but the second one missed it. It just could not put a spell on me.
