A review by hollieberrie
Goddess of the Sea by P.C. Cast
4.0
The book opened up with U.S. Air Force sergeant Christine Canady home alone on her birthday. Feeling almost sorry for herself she starts to drink champagne and decides to pull out an old book and recite an invocation. Little did she know that her "wish" was about to come true.
Next chapter, her plane crashes into the ocean and when she wakes up she is back in time. Not exactly sure when (might have said some date in the book) just a LONG time ago. Anyway, so with her wish the goddess Gaea trades her soul with that of her mermaid daughter Undine.
The story goes on to tell how Undine is the daughter of both she and Poseidon and that Undine was born a mermaid so must remain in the sea. Undine, naturally, longs to stay on land but Poseidon loves his daughter too much to let her go. Meanwhile, there is a nasty merman named Sarpedon that wants to have Undine for his own. I think you get the picture...
To get away from Sarpedon, Gaea gifts her with human form. She still has to return to the sea and take her mermaid form once each third night or she will sicken and die. Now as she is being sent to to land to find "the man who can accept and love you" she meets a merman named Dylan. Once on land she meets Andras... And so the story goes, will she find true love on land with Andras or is she really meant to be in the sea with Dylan.
A nice heartwarming romance with a few twist and turns. I just wish there was more interaction with the Gods and Goddesses... but then there's always the next book.
