A wonderful conclusion to a wonderful series.In this final installment of Marina's Tales, Marina is once again put though many painful tests. First of all, evil peoples are still after Marina's mermaid sisters...to experiment on them. Marina, of course, will not rest until her sisters are safe...even if  it means putting herself in danger one again.Ethan's mother, believe it or not, shows up out of nowhere, claiming she wants to spend time with her son! But she seems to be doing more bad than good, planting a seed of doubt in Ethan's head that drives Ethan and Marina apart.Two men and two women, two dark and two light, will also enter Marina's life. Who? Marina has no idea, but she has to keep a lookout. I thought the addition of new characters was very refreshing and it kept me guessing who the two evil people were."The Turning Tides" is actually a very appropriate title for the book: it had so many twists and turns, and this happening and that...it was just wow! And you know how there's a lot going on in a book and it sometimes feels overwhelming...well that was so not the case with this one! :D This book had a great story line, awesome and lovable characters, and it had a lot of emotion (I LOVE that in a book!)I have to say though, I am terribly sad that Marina's Tales have come to an end! The series just got better and better with each book! I'll really miss Ethan and Marina...they were so adorable together! But I'm happy that the series had a satisfying ending (although I'm still a little worried about Olivia). I'll definitely be on the lookout for more books by Derrolyn :)
