ARC READ:
I typically don’t read books in this genre, but I am so glad I gave this one a chance! The characters are so lovable. The pace is just right. It gripped me from the start.
I enjoy how the mermaids/mermen have magical capabilities and aren’t fully stuck with the “human realm” and are able to be in both places. It does suck that the humans did turn against them being able to live on both land and sea peacefully and that they were forced back into the deep depths of the ocean for so long that it started to severely affect them.
It is a faster paced book (I tend to read fast anyway so it didn’t bother me and kept me more focused!)
I definitely can’t wait to see where this series takes us in the journey next! I already can’t wait for book 2!
Thank you so much for the ARC!
