The idea behind the story was pretty original. I've never really read a lot of mermaid novels, and the ones I have read really didn't thrill me, however this one definitely exceeded my expectations, and I will be reading the second book. That it is a mermaid-esque story also intrigued me. I love mythology especially when incorporated in a contemporary fashion. The cover caught my attention immediately and after reading the summary, I thought it would be something I would like to give a try.

I am surprised more people do not know about this series especially with how popular the Percy Jackson series has become.
