I am a huge fan of mermaid books.  When Rising came out I jumped at the chance to read it and loved it!We first meet Gretchen in Rising.  She is the best friend of Sara.  For some reason she always felt drawn to her but could never place why.Xanthus and Triton feel that Sara needs extra protection.  Dragonians are supposed to not like mermaids, but Xanthus feel in love with Sara.  For extra protection, he asks his friend Kyros to come to their home and help with the guard duty.Gretchen is back in Hawaii, missing Sara but trying to become a lawyer to help children.  Do to an incident that happened with a child that was turned back over to her biological father and her boyfriend, Gretchen decides to go to Sara so that she can spend some time with her best friend.Gretchen has a past that even Sara is not aware of.  Holly Kelly surprised me as a reader with the way the story went.  I loved how Gretchen and Kyros are drawn to each other, but unaware why they are.Together Gretchen and Kyros battle the vile mermaid Aella that knows many secrets.Descending is a great second book to the Rising series.  I hope more are coming because I would love to see more of Xanthus and Sara and Gretchen and Kyros.  This is a must summer read!
