Relation Conducive To Books Forgive My Fins (Fins #1)
I haven’t read a mermaid story in so long I almost forgot they existed.I went into this one expecting to be buried under an avalanche of cuteness, and that’s exactly what happened.
I’m going to tell you right off the bat that it’s childish and the main character immature as well as single-focused on getting the boy she wants, so do not pick it up if you wish for great depth and a complex world.
But do pick it up if you’ve missed mermaids, too, and are often entertained by teenage girls who make poor decisions in the department of love.
Even the author is single-minded. Hello, there are other characters in the story, and yet they serve little to no purpose, unless it’s to support/torment Lily. They do not stand on their own.
Fortunately, Lily grows on you, and I have to say, I wasn’t at all bothered by her love interest. Well, the second one. Yes, he acts like an alpha male sometimes – and a jerk – but I saw the good in him, and how can one not acknowledge his steaminess and undying love for Lily?
I can’t give this book more, despite its fun content, because I don’t feel as though it’s a worthy addition to the collection of mermaid stories out there, seeing that it is predictable and under-developed, but I did find some of its elements unique, such as the idea of bonding through kisses and ‘‘challenges’’ linked to counselling required for a merperson to break a bond.
That epilogue also got me really curious about the sequel. Nicely played.

Originally posted @ The YA Bookworm I LOVE MERMAIDS! when i was a kid i adore mermaids! even though there are some myths that says that mermaids are bad, i didn't grasp the idea... so i was so glad that there is a YA book about mermaids. this novel is actually my first YA book that is about mermaids, and for my first, this one didn't quite disappoint me. a new concept of mermaids were introduced here, cause mermaids can be bonded just by Kissing someone, and that kiss will eventually turn theI was completely wrong about this book. I thought I would enjoy it, but I wouldn't love it, or anything like that. I thought it would be a fun quick read, one of those books that you read once and enjoy, but never read again. I was SO WRONG.I don't think there was anything about this book that I didn't like. The characters were awesome, the plot was exciting, and the setting and world building were AMAZING. Seriously, the world of Thalassinia under the sea was a pleasure to read about. I could
Reviewed by Jennifer Rummel for TeensReadToo.comLily has a secret; she's a mermaid living on land due to the fact that her mother was human. Her father is king of the seas, which makes her a Thalassinian Princess. Since finding out about her mother's lineage, Lily began to understand why she doesn't feel at home in the sea. She moved in with her aunt and started attending Seaview High School in order to find the perfect mate.She's convinced she's found him. All she has to do is persuade him that
I don't think rating out of 5 stars gives enough room for judgment. I prefer the standard school grading scale...Maybe a B-. It was a light, cute, fun book! The cover is obviously stunning. I love the greens and the blues. I'm not sure what she's supposed to be blowing out of her mouth, though. Is there something I missed in the book?Anyway, we are presented with Lily Sanderson: half-mermaid, half-human. She's nothing spectacular with her blonde hair (yay!), pale-skin, and freckles. And she's
There were several things I liked about this book. I don't think I've ever read a YA story about mermaids (they may be the next vampires, who knows?) so I had nothing to compare this to. Therefore I went in with a pretty open mind and as far as a story about mermaids goes, I liked it. Childs did a good job of creating the mermaid kingdom of Have-No-Idea-How-to-Pronounce, and her mythology backstory was very creative and original. Childs is also the kind of author who pays attention to "the
This book was beyond cute. I haven't read a good mermaid book in over a year, so I was past due for one. And this was the perfect series for me to pick up. I have already started the second book because I didn't want the story to be over when I finished the first one. I have been reading so many new adult contemporaries lately (which I still love) that it was nice to switch it up to a cute paranormal young adult book. Lily is a mermaid that is living on land for a while. Her dad is king of her
