Dive into an underwater world of ancient secrets, dark magic, and love that will risk it all...

Running away from home was never Chloe Kowalski's plan. Neither was ending up the target of killers, or having her body change in unusual ways. She only wanted a vacation, someplace far from her crazy parents and their irrational fear of water. She only wanted to do something normal for once, and maybe get to know her best friend's hot stepbrother a bit better at the same time.

But the first day she goes out on the ocean, strange things start to happen. Dangerous things that should be impossible. Things to which 'normal' doesn't even begin to apply.

Now madmen are hunting her. A mysterious guy with glowing blue eyes is following her. And her best friend's stepbrother seems to be hiding secrets all his own.

It was supposed to be a vacation. It's turning out to be a whole lot more.

A Great Sample!

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

This "book" is a great sample for a book. It just stops in the middle, and you have to BUY the rest of the book.

When I get something like this as a sample, I think the author is smart. You get enough to know if you really want to read the book. I've bought a number of books from authors who do that.

But when I get what I think is a book and it turns out to be half a book, I feel betrayed and tricked by the author. It inspires me to never want to buy books from that author, ever again.

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2014

Its ok. Truthfully I like the mystery but the writing leaves much to be desired.

Chloe is a seemingly average girl with strange parents. They forbid any drawing, thinking or, God forbid, going to the ocean. So when Chloe gets an invitation to her best friends beach house she has to sneak off to go. So Chloe is drawn to the ocean and her parents stay away from it, why? Her best friend's stepbrother is hot and acts like he knows something but what? People are trying to kidnap her, a guy with glowing eyes keeps trying to talk to her, and strange things are happening above and beneath the water. These are the questions and mysteries that keep me reading.

So what makes me want to stop? For one, the overuse of words. If I had a nickel for every time a character "grimaced" or "winced" I could buy a thesaurus which is what the author should invest in. Is there any other way to describe the passing of time besides a heartbeat? Chloe has a crush on Noah but there's no hint or foreshadowing of his feelings so that when anything does happen between them it seems sort of out of the blue. It left me saying, "Wait where did that come from?" I was annoyed that Baylie was cast as a best friend when she was the furthest out of the loop. How could her and Chloe be best friends when Chloe kept everything from her? At times the story moved too slowly but there is another POV besides Chloe's which sheds some light on what's going on and helps move the story along.

Basically the writing is stunted and flat but the plot thickens and the questions I have keep me reading.

I enjoyed the world of the mermen

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a very interesting story about Mermaids. I enjoyed the world of the mermen, it was different from many of the books I have read. They even have a heretical sect that is out causing problems.

The book had pretty good pacing. The characters were good, but I didn't relate of connect to them at all. I felt more like an outsider watching the events rather than caught up in the book. Even though I didn't connect, this is a solid book with a lot of things to recommend it.

It looks as if there may be a love triangle. The potential is there, even though there wasn't much romance in this book. The story is more about Chloe learning of the heritage that has been hidden from her. This story felt like an introduction for events to come. That makes sense, because it leaves the reader hanging with Chloe's life hanging in the balance.

Overall, this is a cute book written for teens. There is mild swearing and some violence.

Unrealistic family

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

So let's set the scene. Our heroine comes from a small town in Kansas, where her dad is apparently an Ag professor. She begs and pleads to go with her friend to CA to vacation at the beach with her family, but the parents object. She then sneaks out and drives out with said friend to CA anyway. Did I mention that she is in HS?

There is so much wrong with this. It is a 2 day drive to CA from KS and where is the Amber alert? She meets her friend's dad in CA, who is apparently a rich software developer and whose wife our heroine has never met. Why haven't her parents called the dad to find out where our heroine is? Why is the friend living in small town KS when her dad and stepmom live in CA and they seem to get along? If he lives in KS, then why hasn't our heroine ever met the stepmom? Why isn't our heroine's mom not on a plane to find the wayward daughter?

This was just such a break in my disbelief that I couldn't go on.

She goes on vacation with her best friend, unbeknownst to her parents

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

In the realm of realistic fantasy, Sky Malone weaves a tale of a young girl desperately wanting to get to the ocean, which her parents forbid. Chloe, however, cannot take the longing for the ocean anymore. She goes on vacation with her best friend, unbeknownst to her parents. She soon begins to realize there was a reason why her parents did not want her near the ocean. In more than one way, her life is threatened. The story also, in my mind, mimics the struggles of children transforming into young adults.

In all honestly, fantasy books are not a genre I typically read, and I actually shy away from them. Skye hooked me from the first line…”Before we go any farther, I want to make one thing clear: I never intended to run away.” It is well written, without any typos. The pace moves along nicely in the beginning; not too fast, not too slow. By the middle, though, it the pace becomes faster. It was a sure page turner for me! I give this a 5 Star Rating. You can find this book on Amazon.com

Bit of a shaky start but improves

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

I quite like reading YA books occasionally to get away from the stereotype of the female in need of protection/rescuing and the overly protective male that you find so often in books aimed at older audiences. Unfortunately this was exactly what I found when I started reading this one, and it irritated me.
I decided to try the second in the series to see if it would move past that because actually I liked the story. The theme continues but seems to disappear as the books develop until by the end of the series, it’s a really good read.
The last in the series brings all the strands left throughout the previous books in to a well crafted finish that doesn’t disappoint

Good Story

An enjoyable read - the main characters grew on me. The story required a degree of suspension of disbelief as there were so many different magical creatures along the way.

Very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I thought this was quite an original story, which is good considering mermaid stories can get a bit same-y. The description was captivating and made me imagine that the transformations were happening to me. The only thing I wasn't too sure on we're the relationship dynamics between the characters. Hopefully they get a bit more depth in the following novels. Good read!
