Synopsis
Nothing
has been the same for Will ever since what happened last summer. One day, on an
ordinary sailing trip with his brother, there is a strange accident. When Will
wakes up, he learns his brother has disappeared, presumed drowned. Worst of
all, Will can't remember what happened - his family finds him unconscious, with
no memory of the accident.
Now
Will and his best friend and neighbour, Gretchen, are starting a new summer.
Gretchen seems troubled - her sleepwalking habit is getting worse, and she
keeps waking up closer and closer to the water. Will is drawn to Asia, the
exotic new girl in town. Nobody knows where she's from - all Will knows is that
her beauty and her mesmerizing voice have a powerful effect on people.
Then
there is another mysterious drowning, and Will and Gretchen begin to wonder: Is
Asia just another beautiful, wealthy summer resident? Or is she something
entirely more sinister . . . and inhuman?
Thoughts
this
book surprised me and I think more in the fact that I didn’t think I would like
it as much as I did (being it’s a younger YA book) but it was a great book.
So
it’s many about mermaids and the beginning of series, so it was all about
learning what the hell they were, what mermaids and where they came from, why
they were there and what they wanted, or who? And honestly if I start going
into it I will come out just telling you the book and it’s a thing I hate about
reviews so that it.
The
things I loved the most where the characters, even Kirk who is the towns nutter,
and in the real way not the funny way. Will (male lead) who needs to understand
so many things, from what the hell happened that night his brother died, to who
the hell Asia was. And Gretchen who’s just making it threw the day, honestly
the book was great, the history—both with the journal and Asia’s story. they
way your understand why things happened the way they did and even the love that
blossoming in a way it (well I think) really does happen, a not want to ruin
friendship, kinda young love.
Honestly,
it’s quick and shot and pulls you until the very end, which is complete but
makes you want so much more.
