4	''Stranger & Stranger'' is the first book in a contemporary fantasy series published on Amazon by Rachael Arsenault. It depicts an Alternate Universe in which faeries and humans coexist - but not peacefully. The story focuses on Ainslee Saunders, who gets "snatched" by the fae and turned into a changeling (a completely legal event in this story's world). Ainslee then has to deal with the struggle of changing species, conflict with people from her life as a human, and trying to be accepted as part of the community of Duircean. And things only get more complicated from there.

6	!!''Stranger And Stranger'' contains examples of:
7
8	* FantasticRacism: There's a long history of conflict between the fae and humans. Ainslee's mother and her friend Gwen sometimes refer to the fae as "elves", which is considered a slur, and [[spoiler: Ainslee calls humans vermin when possessed by the spirits of vengeful fae.]]
9	* GreenThumb: One of the seven Blessings that fae and changelings can have. Maeve has this Blessing, as does [[spoiler: April.]]
10	* HealingHands: This is another one of the seven Blessings that fae and changelings can develop. It's also the Blessing that Ainslee has.
11	* IdiotBall: Ainslee is definitely a bit guilty of this in the second book, ''A Blessing & A Curse'', largely due to DidntThinkThisThrough and being kept on the sidelines by basically everyone that matters.
12	* LethalHarmlessPowers: One application of HealingHands, which seems to actually be a form of {{Biomanipulation}}.
13	* OurFairiesAreDifferent: In this world, the fae are taller than humans, isolate themselves from human society, and can develop powerful magic called a Blessing. The fae in this series also "snatch" humans, which involves casting a spell over them to turn them into fae. It's also implies that fae might be stronger than humans, but just how much stronger is never clearly indicated.
14	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Another Blessing, with the added perk of a LoyalAnimalCompanion. Paul has this Blessing and a CanineCompanion, while Megan has a CleverCrow.
15	* StraightGay: Applies to Derek's character. He obviously has a crush on Peter, but he's also obsessed with his car and seems to view himself as the OnlySaneMan at some moments.
16	* TitleDrop: When Ainslee assumes what Oren must think of her in chapter fifteen.
