Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...

Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.

Maybe some of you think that it is too juvenile for an adult to be reading stories of "mermaids."  Well I say you are never too old to read about mythology and fantasy, even if those fantasies were childhood ones.  And be honest, what little girl didn't want to be a mermaid or pretend that she was a mermaid?! 

I've only read a few different series about mermaids and of the ones I've read this series is my favorite.  I love that Emma is quirky and clumsy and that her appearance is quite unique.  I like the chemistry that her and Galen have.  The supporting/secondary characters are fun and interesting and make for an even more enjoyable read.  The plot is interesting and filled with a little bit of mystery.  This book ends on a cliffhanger but lucky for any of you who haven't read it the series is now complete

This series includes:

Of Poseidon
Of Triton
Of Neptune
(and a few novellas which I haven't read)
