Amanda Hocking is a well known phenom
amongst bloggers, publishers and Wall Street because she managed to
do the near impossible – make millions of dollars self-publishing her
novels. She's now signed on with a mainstream publisher, but if
you'd like to read more about her beginnings the Guardian. UK has a
nice write-up.
And while Amanda has written many books, only two series have had AR numbers calculated for them, and those are the one's we have included.
RATINGS are from GoodReads!
Part I -- The Trylle series
Some mild profanity.

Gemma seems to have it all—she’s carefree, pretty, and falling in love with Alex, the boy next door. He’s always been just a friend, but this summer they’ve taken their relationship to the next level, and now there’s no going back. Then one night, Gemma’s ordinary life changes forever. She’s taking a late night swim under the stars when she finds Penn, Lexi and Thea partying on the cove. They invite her to join them, and the next morning she wakes up on the beach feeling groggy and sick, knowing something is different.
Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. But her new powers come with a terrifying price. And as she uncovers the truth, she’s is forced to choose between staying with those she loves—or entering a new world brimming with dark hungers and unimaginable secrets.
