This book was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. Right away, I liked the book. I connected with Marissa off the bat and I thought the premise was really interesting. Then my interest started drifting and I wasn’t in love with the middle. But I kept reading and boy am I glad I did! After about the halfway point, the book started gaining momentum with me again and I started liking the story more and more and more. I ended up really liking Undertow. The story really is great as a whole.

Marissa is very complex. She is strong willed and yet also really fragile. I loved loved loved that for once people were not so trusting of the supernatural. There was a lot of skeptism in Undertow and honestly this is the more realistic reaction so I was really happy to see it.

Jim is pretty great too. He is so dependable and loyal. I really can’t wait to see what happens with him in the next book. He just makes me smile, so I am really hoping that he is happy.

So while there was a lull in the middle of the book for me, I am really glad that I read the whole book because I ended up really enjoying it! I was not expecting this book to take this direction, and it was really refreshing to be this surprised by a story. Undertow is a really good story, and Callie really threw me for a loop! Awesome job Ms. Kingston 
