My love for Emily Windsnap has died since the Kraken book. I often find her stories bland and melodramatic. I understand this is a children's book, but that's not an excuse to not write well.
Emily is always right. She does wrong all the time, yet she treats her parents, friends, and even neighbors without respect. It's like she doesnt actually learn a lesson from book to book. Mandy being the bully in this story and then gaining friendship again with Emily was so fast it seemed fake. The whole ending of this story was too good to be true.
You're really going to tell me that an ENTIRE TOWN is just going to love merfolk and that no one person is like... did we just drink the kool-aid?
3 stars for a poor plot and poor ending with an obnoxious MC.

Soooooooo cute!!! I really appreciated and enjoyed reading this. The way they broke the curses

by just straight up holding hands

was absolutely adorable and I could not get enough of it. I got all excited every time it happened -- precious!!

The pacing was a bit all over, but it was easy enough to overlook since I was having so much fun with the characters. I've never actually read this series before, but it seemed like the type that you could just pick up from wherever, and it pretty much read that way, so I just went with this one since it had the romance subplot which I am a sucker for. It was nothing super explicit but it was VERY cute. Half-mermaids is such a fun storyline.

You can say that this book was one of my favorites from the series so far. The plot was amazing and reasonable. The sparks between Aaron and Emily were so strong that I was screaming for them to be together already. Beeston was a favorite, always will be. According to my knowledge, Emily had accepted Beeston in the last book because she knew that he was just like her; however, in this book, her animosity toward the was back. I was glad to see Mandy back but her character was disappointing. It was different from the girl we'd met in the second book. Shona and Emily's friendship was incredible, as always. And TBH I kinda missed Emily's dad in this book. Anyways, it was fun to read this.
