The story spanned generations, it was set in Scotland, it told of an eternal love...So what the heck went wrong?Everything, it seems. I just didn't feel the connection and though I persevered to the "bitter" end, that elusive connection never appeared. Me and the story just didn't click. It had everything to do with the writing style, the pacing, and the "voice". Nothing worked for me, which is a shame since the premise was great.
Although I had not been impressed with Shana Abe's Drakon series, I gave this book a chance, mostly just because of the title and my love for all things mermaid. I was not disappointed. Abe's lovely descriptive writing sucked me in right away. This book is actually a collection of 4 stories based around the same myth/island. I enjoyed the first 3 stories. The last one was a bit... reaching. I think the writer just wanted to go through all the era's from past to present. But I still enjoyed the r...
Mermaids are one of my favourite mythical creatures. This is due to my absolute fascination with the ocean and love of scuba diving. I love being in water. Mermaids who can breathe underwater is my ultimate fantasy I'd love to be. In this anthology from Ms. Abe, we are treated to a lovely 3 stories regarding the island of Kell. Ms. Abe does another excellent job of weaving her spell over me. I'm captivated and left yearning to be a mermaid.
Wow, there's 5 hours of my life I'll never get back. This book was stupid. Frankly I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I read it....my kids bought it for me on my kindle (thanks guys) by pushing random buttons....so I read it. The whole thing. It's a romance and it's dumb. Maybe if you're into that kind of stuff you'd like it. It has 3 sections that are separate stories I think they are supposed to tie together somehow but they didn't quite make it. The middle story was the only one that held...
Not a bad book . . . just didn't grab me (as my particular reader tastes go) to finish up. I think this is probably a great read for many other types (less "romance" specific and more fantasy/faiytale type reader). I did make it through two of the three stories revolving around the legend, but then I just got a bit bored of the subject matter since the romance felt pretty much like a back burner to everything else going on. Final verdict: DNF for me . . . but probably carries much more interest
This is what I get for trying a book based on description and not reading reviews. I only got about 4 disks in when it became obvious that the main reason for any sort of plot was to take the characters from sex act to sex act. I am not prude, but I do like a little story in my story.
I had a hard time getting into this one, not sure if it was me or the book.
Eeegads, where to begin? I got this book because I was interested in learning more about mermaid literature for a project I'm working on. There really isn't that much mermaid fiction out there to be had. Now I see why. This is a book about the legend of the Siren of Kell and basically has three stories about mermaids or mermen on an island called Kell who fall in love with humans, bring them to the island, and have sex with them. I guess it's a "romance" book and maybe folks who enjoy that genre...
I thought this was a wonderfully fun, sexy tale that went through three generations of mer people. I couldn't put it down. Abe tells a great story.
This is undoubtedly one of Ms. Abe's finest, it's a collection of 3 stories in one book that revolve around the legends of sirens of the island Kell. This of course includes men sirens, which was a new concept for me and I absolutely loved it. Originally I read this book in 2007, but when it was finally available digitally, I couldn't pass up the chance to finally have it for my own. The first part of the story is about how the first siren came to be, and her eternal fate with the human she fall...
