A young woman's destiny lies "Between The Land And The Sea."Marina and her father must be separated for a year while he travels for his business to Afghanistan where he believes it is just too dangerous for her to be. Leaving behind her home and eccentric Aunt Evie, she moves to the town of Aptos with her Aunt Abby and cousin, Cruz. Her story becomes inevitably linked to the sea near their home and soon she discovers why. Lorelei, a mystical mermaid, becomes part of her world and she discovers that her past is connected through her mother who she never knew. Come follow her story as she discovers the truths of her past and follows her heart to move into the future.This story is so smoothly written that it makes a very enjoyable read. The characters are very genuine and likable, especially Marina and Aunt Evie. And the fact that I enjoy mermaid stories and young romances really made this book a good fit for me. I just started the second one in this series and I hope it's just as good! I will be posting the review for it next.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys YA fiction combined with fantasy elements and light romance.This book was kindly provided to me by it's wonderful author for my honest review.
