Devyn Quinn

I have to say in the beginning it was really hard to get into this book, however, I pushed through as much as I could. I will say I liked the book once it got passed Adrien being stuck on his past. I also have to say that even though I liked the book, it is not one of my favorites. I didn't like Adrien's character at all, I have to say my favorite character was Morgan. Most people would say I'm crazy but I'd rather see more of him next time.

The book it self was written exceptionally well, I just didn't care for the story too much. The ending was good, but could've added a little more to it. I know the author is a great writer, and I'm sure some of the other books are great; this one just didn't get my attention.

I was given this book for my honest review.… (más)

Lost in the chaos of the murder of his wife, the hero makes the rash and impulsive attempt to drown himself in the lake only to instantly regret this decision when he's actually dying. Luckily he is saved by what he considered a benevolent being who he remembers breathing air back into his lungs-an angel without wings. Lots of pills and therapy tried to make him realize that he had been lost in delirium- that the woman wasn't real. Yet in his soul he knows he didn't imagine her and now he's returned to the island to find out the truth once and for all. The heroine is not an easy woman to love and in fact is readily open to the fact that she is quite simply a bitch. From a young age she was forced to care for herself and her two younger sisters when their parents died, taking care of the crumbling home and also dealing with being a mermaid without any training. As such, she is snappish and antisocial, especially when it comes to men. Her ex fiancé dumped her the night before their wedding and she's never recovered. Then the hero returns. She's shocked and afraid of the feelings he awakens in her. Feelings of not just lust but of something deeper as well. But that's not something she wants and though that first night they trade secrets (he with revealing the death of his wife and his grief and torment-she with the fact that she's a mermaid and not entirely human) and sleep together-the next morning she is determined to but that distance between them. The hero, calm and easy going( perhaps too easy going) makes his intentions of commitment known but he doesn't press her when she becomes skittish around him. When the ex fiancé returns with news of a discovery he's made in finding the origins of her Mer people, the heroine is desperate to learn about herself and her people. With the hero of the hero's money, she, the hero and the ex embark on a journey to find the gateway to all the answers she's every sot. But when it comes to light the evil that lurks within and the plot to see the Mers restored to power and the humans enslaved, she must stop the end of the world. It's then that she realizes how foolish she's been to take the hero for granted for he is the only one she can trust and rely on, a man willing to sacrifice everything for her. I found the heroine to be extremely frustrating and the hero to be a bit of a pussy. She was too stubborn, too full of pride to see how selfish and stupid she's being. And the hero was too nice, too selfless. I wanted him to grow a back bone and though there are times when he puts his foot down, I guess I like it when a man takes charge rather than letting the heroine dictate their relationship. And I wanted the heroine to wake up and smell the roses-I mean how the hell can you kiss your ex fiancé, the man who betrayed you when the hero is offering you happiness on a platter? It's craziness!! I liked the premise of the story but I found it dragged it butt big time and only really got interesting when they went through the portal to the ancient Mer world. As such, I can't say I loved this story, or even really liked it but it was okay. I think my dislike of the characters put me off as I didn't think there was anything wrong about the plot or the writing style.… (más)

Living as a human but knowing that no matter how much she wishes she was normal, the heroine denies herself any powers than come from being a mermaid. She's never slept with a man because she could never trust anyone with her secret. The hero is a FBI agent who's in the sector of paranormal studies. He's in the small town to look into some electronic frequencies and a death. There he meets the heroine. Immediately after they reach the small island belonging to her family, they are attacked by the evil mermaids and all parties are severely injured. The heroine wakes up under the control of the US government. They're keeping all Mer fork under lock and key for study and experimentations. At first they are given special treatment. Their rooms aren't prisons or cages and they have as much freedom as a top secret bunker can afford. But it's clear that they are feared and treated as less the human but the doctors and the military involved. The hero is given a mission to get close to the heroine and gain her trust, something he does easily and without much remorse. But steadily, as predicted, the family begins to be less and less 'guests' and more as prisoners. The government is experimenting on the enemy Mer is horrible ways and soon the heroine finds herself in chains when she demonstrates her power. I really disliked the hero because he wasn't ignorant of the governments plans but did nothing to stop them until it was too late. He knew from the instant he found out what the heroine was that the FBI would imprison them. He also knew how his colleges felt about them and how the enemy Mer were treated. Of course things were going to be bad for the heroine and her family because it's obvious the humans are assholes who are afraid of anything different to them. So it's after the family are imprisoned and the heroine experimented on that he finally decides to help them. Took him long enough. Also, he lies to the heroine throughout the book. And for the most part I don't feel any remorse from him, even when he sleeps with the heroine and thinks about being with her, he lies about everything he knows. I'm sorry, what a scumbag to basically use a very insecure female like that for you're own gain. But at least feel sorry about it. The heroine went from an independent woman, strong and resilient though lacking confidence with herself to a puddle of mush. She has no control of her powers and has a tendency to cave in of herself when embarrassed. Overall, I didn't like the pacing with the story as most of the time the characters are just sitting in a bunker talking to themselves. And add that to the dislike of the hero's character and the heroines weakness, I thought this book was Meh at best.… (más)
