And I'm alright with dark reads as long as their are hopeful/happy endings but if this one doesn't have that then I'll probably take if off the list.

I think I might be okay with a shaky plot (which seems like one negative point about the book) but I'm really curious about the new twist on the mermaid mythology. I had no idea this was going to be a series. Can nothing be written as a standalone these days?!Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-21679192230024018042011-07-12T20:45:58.476-05:002011-07-12T20:45:58.476-05:00Thanks for your review Allison.

I don't know how much I'd enjoy a purposely dark tale that doesn't include at least a bit of hope in the end. <br /><br />I haven't really given any mermaid stories a chance. For some reason, while I think the concept is fascinating, I can't seem to motivate myself to read them.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-18459561575560234032011-07-12T10:39:27.747-05:002011-07-12T10:39:27.747-05:00You know, that's what I like about this book. ...You know, that's what I like about this book.
