THE BOOK I COMMITTED TO READ:
Immortal
by Gillian Shields in my pile since March 2011
Immortal
Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer waves near her California home; continue her steady relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like her mother. The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits her-and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance.
I thought Immortal was interesting in a dark gothic kind of way. Sebastian isn't super squeaky clean, he's tortured and has a troubled past. He's kind of disturbing actually.
ReplyDeleteGood luck this week! I hope you enjoy Tempest Rising! :)
Yes, I didn't like him that much and I really didn't believe all those proclamations of love when they were starting out. But his actions at the end partially offset his actions although I think he's not completely reformed. I guess I'll read the second book to find out.
