Ah, I wish you'd loved this book more but I get how slow paces can be a major turn-off. Anyway, if this is a series, I hope it gets better. Awesome review, Tanja! <br /><br />Sarika @ <a href="http://thereaddicts.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">The Readdicts</a>The Readdictshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097650583426983309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-23950890300139007062014-01-12T03:26:14.342+01:002014-01-12T03:26:14.342+01:00I often don't connect with books/characters I ...I often don't connect with books/characters I used to a few years ago.

O__O But at least I wont start with this one! lol ;p I understand where your frustrations are coming from though. I also hate slow beginnings and in some cases where the main character is relatable a slow beginning can be overlooked, but you didn't have luck in either department for this one. I don't think I'm going to give this one a try. D: Maybe some other mermaid story will be better for me!<br /><br />Great honest review, Tanja love! :D<br /><br />~ Maida xoxo<br /><a href="http://loveaffairwithabookreviews.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Literary Love Affair</a> <br />MåїÐ»-(¯`v´¯)-»https://www.blogger.com/profile/17761335857561590565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-31830482045726000372014-01-10T22:20:20.616+01:002014-01-10T22:20:20.616+01:00Yeah I think I'll stay away from mermaid books...Yeah I think I'll stay away from mermaid books for a while.

Idk, thinking about love and 14 year olds... Not my cup of tea and not so believable for me. Plus, they were sooooo young, naive and innocent in their minds. Though, wth :D Werewolves and mermaids? NEVER in my life have I met a weirder combination of paranormal creatures lol. While it sounds interesting, I'm not a huge fan of either and descriptive writing is sooooo not my thing--that's the reason I struggled with The Iron King even though the rest of the series became one of my favorites. I hope that if you change your mind about continuing, you'll enjoy the story much, much more:)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-46456505684137140492014-01-10T01:07:12.837+01:002014-01-10T01:07:12.837+01:00It's a shame you weren't able to connect m...It's a shame you weren't able to connect more with Serena and that the story was slow, but I'm glad you enjoyed it enough for 3 stars.

Mermaids and werewolves in the same story?
