This is definitely a YA book, no bones about it. I was half through and called upon an eighteen year old to assist me with the book. Maybe I'm too old to grasp the concept or too set in my ways to be wrapped-up in the essence of the book.The concept is interesting. After the death of her father and the loss of  the family farm, our young Heroin Megan is drawn to a small seaside town: Trinity, Newfoundland. She doesn't understand why she is drawn to the sea, but she can't deny it. She makes the acquaintance of Devin Horan and his mother Maura. Maura gladly accepts Megan to stay with them until she regains her bearings, plus  she could use the company and help around the house.What she doesn't realize is the blood line her father never told her about. Her father chose to live in Missouri because it shielded him from any large bodies of water. He explained to Megan that since his mother drowned (or did she) that it was best for them all to stay away from the water.Overall a fun read. Now let's hear from the younger crowd.Here are the thoughts from my co-reader:Aside from a few verb tense and grammatical issues, it was an interesting story. Normally, I don't read stories pertaining to magic or fairies, but it kept my attention. I was very emotionally attached to the characters, especially Meg, and I found myself hating Omyn as much as Devin did. I enjoyed it for the most part. Jessica Larson 18.Who will enjoy this story? See the above comment from a YA reader. For those who are a bit older, maybe not.
