This was the best mermaid based book I have read to date. Meaning I actually finished it. since it was an audio and I was doing some home improvements at the time I'm not quite sure what that means either. 
 From start to finish things that should take time to build just happen. the Mystery elements, if you dain to call them that, so easily came together it was sad. 
 None of the characters interested me. (view spoiler)[ Save for the little ghost girl.<\spoiler> 
 If more scenes had taken place in the sea rather than on land I might have enjoyed it more. (hide spoiler)]
