I’ve been looking for another mermaid book that I could love as much as Forgive My Fins. Alas, this was not the one. I loved the premise, really I did. The back story was fantastic. I just didn’t care for the delivery or the prose. Or any of the characters. I was skeptical about the book as soon as I read the prologue, but I decided to give it a chance anyway. In the beginning, a mermaid is ‘in love’ with […]
This was such a magical storyline that I couldn’t help but love it because it’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The water horses, capaill uisce (sounds like cap-pull ish-kuh), are basically kelpies. I’ve never read a story about kelpies before, and the idea of a deadly man-eating water horse fascinates me. Taming and racing them adds to that! I freaking loved Puck!! She was fiery and brave, a bit petulant at times, but compassionate and outspoken. Her and I would totally […]

I had seen this one compared to Stephanie Meyer’s The Host… in a way, it’s kind of similar just because it’s two minds sharing one body, but that’s where the similarities end. What’s Left of Me was unlike anything I’ve ever read before! The premise is so fantastic that I couldn’t help but enjoy it – two souls sharing the same body is awesome and awful all at the same time! On one hand, you’d never be alone; you’d have a best […]

![[Blog Tour] Review: Never Say Never by Kailin Gow](http://novelheartbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/15716628-250x200.jpg)
This book contains sexual content and is suitable for mature readers only. I’ve been wanting to read Kailin’s books for a while, so when I saw the tour I jumped on it. I wasn’t overly impressed with Never Say Never, but it was a light and cute read. I would definitely try out more of Kailin’s work in the future. This one was short as you can see, so it was easy to get through. However, due to the […]
