3.5 starsA great series with a rushed ending. I really enjoyed tis YA series. The fresh look at merpeople and sea creatures was really cool and kept me coming back for more.

Second book failure-2.5 starsThe first 1/3 of the book was slow. The people she met,her memories, her petty little fights just seemed stupid.

I really didn't think I would like this book as much as I did. Yeah, it was a little cheesy with these fishy people coming out of the water and humans trying to either bond with them or kill them. But, after I started reading it, I really got into. The author made the characters and even the story b...
Wow, I really loved this world. It had be visualizing The Pirates of the Caribbean at times which was another bonus for this read. Small bit of teen angst didn't really interfere with the story. Yes, it had that one special snowflake person that seems to run a muck in the present YA reads but this s...
