Mermen, Mermaids and Promises Broken, that is what started out this whole vengeance drive this not so nice fishes have going on. When you make a promise to the menfolk you better keep it ! Well, of course somebody didn't and the issues trickled down a few generations to the present time where a youn...

When I learned there was a story about murderous mermaids living in Lake Superior, I couldn't resist checking it out. I haven't read many books that take place so close to home, so I was quite excited at the prospect of reading Lies Beneath. The North Shore is probably one of my favorite places o...

'Forget everything you think you know about merpeople. Forget that freaking Ariel, think Silence of the Lambs, think Friday the Thirteenth.'Yes, forget what you think you know about merpeople. Forget about The Little Mermaid and Ingo. This isn't your favourite fairy-tale story. These merpeople are d...

Calder is a merman, but not by choice or by birth. He must return to his adopted sisters in order to complete revenge on the Hancock family and ...

See my review of this book, and many more, at Tales from the Great East Road. There have always been legends about monsters living in Lake Superior, but no-one really believes them. People still take boats out and swim in the water. For some that will be the last mistake they’ll ever make, for that ...

Calder is the dumbest, least effective evil merman ever, which makes sense, considering he's the main character in the book and it would not do for a group of simpering teenage girls to fall in love with a guy who would willingly drag them underwater and kill them.Seriously, he's a male TSTL charact...

Seen at Scott Reads It Lies Beneath has been on my "To-Read" list for awhile and I kept putting off reading it. To tell you the truth I was convinced that I would hate based on the numerous negative reviews I read. I am glad that Lies Beneath really proved me wrong. Calder is a mermaid who lives...

BookNook — Young Adult book reviewsThis book is what you get when you mix mermaids with vampires. The idea of deadly, killer mermaids is awesome! It's a cool twist that I enjoyed. But I wish the author went further into the mermaid lore. Where do they come from? How do they live? What about th...
