I RECEIVED A FREE COPY OF THIS BOOK IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEWI am giving this book a 3 star rating, for the fact that while it had its faults, the author is not an english speaking native, so therefore i took that into account.The story had really good bones to it and when it was flowing it flowed well.There were a few things about this story that rubbed me the wrong way. Eric had no issues believing in Witches, but Merpeople...thats crazy talk.When reading paranormal books and characters can accept 1 species but not another, kinda racist.I.D Blind uses some bizarre words, that i had to look up as i was reading, like aiguilles, and niveous.Now these don't even come up on spell check, and i in no way think myself dumb, but having to constantly stop and search the meaning of words took away from my reading pleasure.(Putting this down to the language barrier) The conversations felt unnatural ans stilted. At one point Eric asks Dinah about her mum, but instead of asking about her mum he asks about Mrs McCormack.Characters were brought into the story for seemingly no reason just to appear later with stories of Eric cheating on certain girls. The characters were unmemorable and i was often left wondering who the heck they were.Would i recommend this story.....i really dont know.
