About this ebook

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe. When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin's arrow poisons Sera's mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin's master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world's very existence.

Ratings and reviews

There isn't as much action as the other books in this series, but it was still very good. I still enjoyed it for the drama, romance and the mermaids. I don't see too many mermaid books on shelves, but this one was very good and I highly advise you read it, especially the second and third books, I haven't read the 4th yet, but it will probably be even better than the others.

Sci-fi fantasy- fun read with many twists. Enough action to keep the pace interesting. As the main character takes you through her world, there are many situations that apply to anyone's life fins or no fins!

I really enjoyed this book quite alot when I saw this book at my school book fair I knew that I will enjoy it. So I got it and this didn't disappointed me the first few chapters are a little boring but then I just gets better I dying to know what happens in book 2 rouge wave
