After reading these 4 stories, I'm an addicting fan. I look forward to the next installments. It's a given that I love mermaid stories but these stories have a built history behind them from not only the previous books but the author gives a insight to their past that is just heart breaking and in her stories they get redemption in their soul searching truth with their true mates.

This is an amazing story. I was a little confused at first because I was expecting to learn more about Verona and Bailey (Merman who helped Verona survive once she was exiled from their clan). But that's not what we get, no Verona's fate brings her to rescue the human Logan.
Logan is an awesome character that I fall in love with immediately. He lives with his grand mother Mama Wend and all his life after his mother passed his grandmother has traveled the world with him until now when they come back to their home. He is a very considerate young man, handsome, sexy, and has a heart of gold but he's not one to push around and several times he has been forced to hold his own and protect the weak Alex.
Unfortunately he becomes the butt of the joke at a boat party from a bully and ends up diving off a boat into the ocean to save his new friend Alex's watch. While in water the boat of partying friends leaves him behind in the middle of the ocean and this is where Verona comes in.
The story is amazing and I fell in love with Moma Wend immediately also. There is something special about her right off.
The author makes it easy for the reader to dive right into this world and it's surroundings. I love the fact that Verona learns that there are others of her kind living secretly amongst the humans around her, but the more she learns the more dangerous it becomes for her especially if she leaves the island.
As the story goes along, Logan's long lost father shows up mysteriously and it's still not too clear what his role will play in the future, and it's not clear why he left Logan with his grandmother after his mother died. Hopefully this will all be revealed in the next book - just so many unanswered questions.
I loved the closeness and buildup between Verona and Logan. All the characters just get to you and you just have to hang on to their every word and action. This story just gripped me from the start and I couldn't put it down. I cant wait for the next book. I look forward to learning more about these paranormal creatures of werewolves, witches, etc.... I look forward to learning if Verona ever gets happiness.
And what about Bailey. All through out the book we really didn't hear of him til towards the end when he makes an appearance to confront Verona into making a decision. I have to say I didn't like the way Bailey acted, he seemed mean. In the prequel, I rooted for him but after his interactions in this book, he seem to turn like his mean brother. I thought it was cool that Verona realizes that the fears and stories she learned from her clan were false. She even has some power and the fact that there are others like her on the island really opens her eyes to her clans dishonesty.
There is just so much to this world that I hope the author gives us more of both the mermaid world and the paranormal world on land. Everything is in place for the perfect climax with well built characters and a small island full of magic surrounding it - So please don't leave us hanging.
Addicting from the start, oh my gosh - wow what a trip this poor girl has to live through. I really liked the way the author writes and even though thAddicting from the start, oh my gosh - wow what a trip this poor girl has to live through. I really liked the way the author writes and even though the book is a cliff hanger which I absolutely hate, I have to say I couldn't wait to find out what happens next between Verona and Bailey or if she goes on with her life on shore or into another clan. I absolutely loved this mermaid world even though I hate anyone being a bottom feeder (being bullied where only the strongest survive). But the suspense drew me in and Verona's strength won my heart and as far a Bailey, I'm not so sure things will work out but I hope he comes to his senses and tells his clan to take a hike. We will see hopefully in next book.
I'm giving this only 3 stars because every book is a prequel and not even a full novella, I could say I'm pisst because I was looking forward to full I'm giving this only 3 stars because every book is a prequel and not even a full novella, I could say I'm pisst because I was looking forward to full length novels. But at the same time, I did end up following a few authors because their writing had me wanting more - like 3 authors and thought well I could give them a shot and buy their books. Prequels are ok if they give you some sort of closure but that never happened. The majority of these stories were cliff hangers and I got no satisfaction because in order to get satisfaction you had to buy the other book in the series and to top that off, some authors haven't even written the 1st novel.
Example: A guy and girl meet in bar - guy puts his arms around girl and she leans into him as his lips get closer to her - The End.
Like for real! Seriously, that's not anything that I got out of these stories from this book, the sentence is totally made up but every prequel was like that in a sense - just like an incomplete sentence. I learned my lesson and wont be buying these bundled books again....more
