Calder is a merman and he is tied
to his three sisters through a mermaid bond.
Calder was once human and was made a merman, so maybe that is why he is
opposed to killing humans, whereas, his sisters seem to enjoy it. Calder is promised that his bond with his
sisters can be broken if he exacts revenge on the man, Jason Hancock, who led
their mother to her death. Calder finds that he is falling for Jason’s daughter
and he can’t bring himself to do the killing.
This is a great story with interesting characters and a believable
setting. It’s hard to put down and I’m
anxious to read the rest of the series.
It’s clean enough to put in middle school or high school libraries and
is a new perspective on mermaids. I listened
to the audiobook, and the reader is great.
