The cover is great, love the tail.The Characters are awesome. At first when they are introduced it's a little overwhelming and I couldn't keep track of who was who and related to who lol but as the story goes on it explains more and they are very well detailed it's like you can see them clearly. They are strong and vivid and each one is so beautiful, different and creative.The story starts off a little slow but it's simply because of the history and family backgrounds that you need to understand for the story. It picks up after that and although it isn't edge of the seat, it is captivating. I don't remember the part that sucked me in but I remember going to the bathroom and taking my reader with me, thinking "I need to know, I need to read more" lol. I don't know anything about mermaids but if any of the facts are true then it's really educational lol. So much cool stuff and creativity and I like the twists it takes.To be honest when I saw this book i thought "mermaids? not for me...." then I read an excerpt from the book and thought "holy crap that sounds great" and from there I picked it up.This book was a good read and emotional, I recall at one point being very angry with a certain young man and the need to smack him upside the head was great. I may have actually spoken to my reader LOL.I can't wait to get into the next book (well ok i've started it and holy crap what a twist hahaha - good one!).The Writing Style was good and easy to follow. The only issues I had were the facts but that is because I read fast and it doesn't all sink in at first so I need to go back and re read. Also there were some spelling mistakes that threw me off at times but no biggie, didn't affect the story at all.I would recommend this book to anyone :)
