Galen is a Syrena...or in other words, a merman. Not only that but he's a Prince with a brother who's about to be crowned King. Galen comes across Emma, a pale blonde haired human with violet eyes. The thing is, apparently only Syrena have violet eyes. So what exactly is Emma? Is she the lost descendant of Poseidon that they've been waiting for?

So Galen does what any man would do....he stalks her, becomes possessive and controlling before allowing himself to fall completely in love with her. But hang on, she HAS to mate with his brother because of some fishy power where she lets all her fishy friends get eaten by the merpeople (yeah, mean, I know...I also hate it). I thought her power would be better, or more accurately why they needed her power! it's very depressing. "Hey you, you with the affinity of the fish. Lure them over here so I can stab them and eat them." Ehhhh, no thank you!

This book could have been good but I didn't like the writing. I felt it could have been improved plus I didn't like the present tense thing going on. It definitely could have worked in past tense. Also, the lack of choice the females had over their lives was disappointing and annoying. We've seen too many controlling, possessive males like Edward Cullen and Christian Gray to let this kind of trend continue.

I will say that I liked the very last line.I had guessed that at the start but then as they continued investigating, I had dismissed it. It almost seemed too obvious. It's possibly the only reason I'll read the next book. If I do.
