SEAWEED [Kindle Edition]

Elle Strauss (Author)

Book Description

A teen swim athlete discovers a merfolk world that threatens to keep her out of the ocean forever.

Dori Seward can’t wait to get out of Eastcove, a sleepy fishing village on the border of New Brunswick and Maine. She bides her time by hanging out with friends, attending swim club, and holding her biggest competition, Colby–who wants more than just friendship, at arm’s length.

Then Tor Riley comes to town and he has everything Dori dreams of in a boyfriend–looks, athleticism and mystery.

But Tor also has a tantalizing secret and Dori is determined to find out what it is. The truth is crazier than her wildest imaginations and more dangerous, too.

Dori has new fantastical enemies , and they will do anything to get to her.

Her life, her dreams and her love for Tor are all weighing in the balance. Will Dori risk it all in order to have it all?

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read! July 7, 2012

The first chapter hooked me right away. Seaweed combines mythical with contemporary in a way that feels entirely plausible. Dori is a likeable main character struggling with an unusual identity crisis, and love interest,Tor, is a swoon worthy guy full of mystery. You can't help but hope things will work out for them!

Dori loves the water, and when Tor comes to town, a new love enters her life. But not only is he drop-dead gorgeous, there's something very mysterious about him. Something not quite... earthly?

This is a well-crafted book, my favourite of Strauss' fantasy stories so far. The mythical elements are well thought through and believable, with just the right mix of the familiar and the new to keep me reading to find out "how it works" and "what's going to happen". Romance, mystery, myth, danger, a bad guy, battles and victories, this has it all. And some very cool tattoos to boot!
