Born of Water

Really enjoyed this story about a mermaid mother and daughter. Fast paced and fun easy read! This was a free e-book on Amazon and I really enjoyed. I can't wait to continue this series.

Everything you thought you knew about mermaids is wrong. Life for a high school kid in Saltford should be simple and straightforward - for 17-year-old Targa MacAuley, it's anything but. Navigating life with a supernatural mother is tricky enough, but dealing with the feelings of guilt that she's never been able to 'change', and confusion that she doesn't seem to be attracted to boys (or girls for that matter), Targa feels like she's got more demons than the average kid. When the opportunity to salvage a mysterious wreck in the Baltic arises for her mom, a professional salvage diver by day, Targa jumps at the chance to go abroad for the summer. But it's when she meets Antoni, and a boating accident puts them both in danger, that Targa's world turns upside out for good.

I really enjoyed this story and was hooked from the very beginning. It was a little odd that the age difference between Targa and Antoni was so big, or rather that she was still 17, but after a certain development, she is basically “aged” more so it makes it less odd. It’s hard to explain without spoilers. The ending didn’t feel resolved, but that basically means I now need to read every book in the series, and the other series’ in the universe.

I was so hyped for this book and was more than disappointed.
It was written very easy - I probably would've liked it back when I was 13.
Also it was just boring.

           Picture yourself as a girl who's mother is a mermaid who hates living on land but survives by having the career as a world renowned salvage diver. Sadly you aren't a mermaid like your mother which puts somewhat of a rift between you two. A wealthy owner of a shipping company invites your mother and you to Poland to salvage and explore a ship from what may be tied to both your histories. Once you take swim in the brackish water....you change....and suddenly you and your mother are even more alike. What adventures await you next? 

I adored this story of mermaids and magic. The history involved intrigued and excited me greatly. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
