I've been trying not to be a cover snob lately. Thank you, thank you. No applause necessary. So even though at first glance the orgasmic rainbow mermaid on the cover looked a tad cheesy, I didn't let that discourage me. I'm feel like I've grown as a person. In retrospect, however, I should have seen...

Pg. 9: Oh wow. What a horrible beginning to a book. Yara is alone in her uncle's resort on what I'm assuming is a secluded island and a hurricane is coming. She is trying to block the windows with a heavy wall panel to protect her home. The wind is strong and the panel is just too heavy for her l...

Tangled Tides did not win me over in the first chapter, or even the second for that matter, but the description had me so intrigued that I didn't want to stop for fear of missing out on something great. I mean.. what's more precious to Yara than HER LIFE?! I just had to know. My gut was right and I ...

*Read the full review at Witchmag's Boekenplank* Guess what attracted me to this book? Of course it’s the amazing cover! And then we have the very interesting blurb. Unfortunately I had to wait a little bit before I got to read this book. Turns out it takes more than 3 weeks to ship something from...

Giraffe = meBird = bookDon't be lured by the pretty cover--trust me.I'm frankly baffled by the high ratings for this book. Yara, the main character, is whiny and insufferably immature. Treygan and Rownan are equally unlikeable, though Treygan has a little more depth. There is very little build up ...

May 8thI wanted to love this. I really did. But it wasn't the book for me.I really liked it in the beginning but somewhere in there it just sort of...lost steam. I've read about 80% of this and after struggling for months and still couldn't finish it so I decided to let it go.-----------------------...

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I thought it would be your average mermaid story, but all the mixed elements of selkies, gorgons, sirens, etc made things more interesting. The book starts off right away with Yara being turned into a mermaid by, what, page two? So I felt like that was a litt...
