I don't see why teen authors feel the need to make teens fall in love on day one of meeting a guy. I mean really don't we think that some teens are more mature than that! <br /><br />Thanks for the great review!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504096607685421368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-89731594198809258202013-03-15T11:26:24.841-04:002013-03-15T11:26:24.841-04:00I haven't had luck with mermaid books either, ...I haven't had luck with mermaid books either, but I really want to read this.

However, I'm glad this one had a great narrator! I'm more of a character person as opposed to a plot person, so I'm not sure how I'd like this one. But I do appreciate a good mystery!<br /><br />Lovely review, Juhina! :)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678009807863670317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329593457481155810.post-13789864652627222172013-03-12T20:56:11.008-04:002013-03-12T20:56:11.008-04:00LOL -- I have the same problem with audiobooks som...LOL -- I have the same problem with audiobooks sometimes.

No others jump to mind quite as easily as this one. I rarely listen to audiobooks, but I'm glad to hear that it worked well for you here. :) I felt the same way about the romance in this, though that was probably the only aspect I wasn't keen on. I loved the rest!

I've been really curious about this book. I haven't seen that many reviews though. So I guess I should check out more.

I haven't had much luck with audio books in the past or with mermaid books for that matter, but the mystery behind this one certainly has my intrigued! I'm going to have to see if I can get a copy now! Lovely review! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.com
