A heavy fog has descended upon the Earth, blocking sunlight and forcing humans to find alternative methods of survival. The rich chose space, the final frontier, but those that are left have two options: try to survive on the surface with all the monsters or undergo a risky transformation into a mermaid. Vampire Evelyn loves her human wife, Tessa, and can't bear to see her suffer continuously. Instead, she convinces Tessa to take a syrum to breathe underwater. While Tessa and her descendants aren't 'highborn' with tails, Anna may be the last hope the human race has of returning to the surface.
I found this book due to a post by the author on Twitter stating that the book was free. I got it at the same time as her other book that I recently reviewed, The Grand, these books are different and yet similar. If you have read The Grand there are paranormal creatures within such as a race called the Georgians. I am still not entirely sure what they are, although after reading this book I have a bit more details as they are in it as well. There are also vampires and Elanor makes an appearance at one point. Again, if you know you know.
I will say that this book had a lot more direction than was in The Grand. The reader has a clear understanding of the plot of the story and it is easy to follow along with without feeling that it is a collection of stories strung together with no rhyme or reason. Also, the verbiage depicted was straight-forward. Although, this book was set in Europe. Definite plus points there.
My biggest detractor would have to be that the author tends to ramble sometimes and parts are often a boring read. Details are amazing, but too many bogs a story down and it becomes tedious to get through certain scenes that would otherwise be high action points. I know I have said this before, but editor's are friends. Find a good one and listen to what they have to say. I promise that editors are only trying to help your book be all it can be.
If you are squeamish about same sex relationships here is your cursory warning. Personally, I have no problem with them as well as reading about them. This is here only for informative reasons.
This book is available for FREE on Amazon by clicking here.
