review 1: I won this book from a giveaway under the impression that it was YA reading, suitable even for adults who are interested in mermaids. Boy was I wrong. The first chapter was 5 pages, with the whole book totaling out at 141 pages.It was the first chapter that lost me completely. The reviews on the back of this book liken it to walt disney and j.k.rowling, but the writing couldn't be more dissimilar. Harry Potter drew me in from the start, this repelled me like a bug-zapping light to a fly. The first word used was "yee-haw" and everything in this book was explicitly stated out, with no emotions or interest level, much like a young child would write a book. Despite my interest in mermaids, I found the main character immediately unlikeable. And although she had supposedl... morey just graduated high school and was heading for an Ivy League college, this book was written at a level more suitable for a 3rd grader, and it should have been marketed as such. I'm not impressed, and this book will be heading to my local goodwill or homeless shelter, hopefully to find the hands of a young child who will find it interesting than I did.
review 2: Morgandy was on her way to visit her Mother. It should be quite a change from her Idaho ranch home with her dad to sunny Florida! She knew nothing about Vero Beach except the warning the senile old lady on the plane gave her to watch out for the "Merpeople" there. Right, merpeople. Her Mom meets her at the airport and the surprises start immediately..her Mom is remarried! The surprises keep coming when they arrive at her mom's home. They are RICH, really rich! Huge house, on the water, huge pool, amazing amenities.Then she finds our she is a "halfling" half merperson herself! She meets a man she has been dreaming of for years and is plunged into a world of danger and unknown power. Little does she know, what lies in sore for her and the merpeople she is just beginning to know. Prejudice and Politics will bring her to a place she could have never imagined! I won't spoil the story, but suffice it to say this is a richly detailed world you will not want to leave! I can't wait to read the other books in the trilogy. less
