3.5 out of 5 rating

I am always fascinated by mermaid stories (I just know its because of my love for The Little Mermaid) and that flows over into a love of siren stories as well.

I really liked the characters in this story. Harper was the older sister with the tough outer shell. She's had to step up to become the mother-like figure, protective and worrying, and can't let anyone see the softer side of her. Gemma is the typical younger sister--more relaxed and free except with her hobby of swimming and goal of being in the Olympics. Then there's the boys- Alex and Daniel. Both great guys and one for each of the sisters (no love triangle in this story!) Even the sirens are well written.

The one thing I didn't like was that the book left you hanging. And while I guess it could be considered a cliff hanger, I felt more like the story didn't wrap up well. I don't know how to explain it, but usually with cliffhangers I get the feeling of it being in the right spot (if that makes any sense). But I feel that in this book, more needed to be told before the cliffhanger.

Anyways, I will defintely be picking up the next book in the series when it comes out!
