Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs

2.0

Okay so this book was about Lily, who is a mermaid. She's blindly inlove with Brody, who is a swimming jock. Her nemesis is Quince, a biker-boy who makes it his quest to ruin her life. As she's about to have her first kiss with Brody, she walks into a setup with Quince. She kisses him and now they are romantically bonded. It's a magical mermaid tradition. This all happens pretty immediately, so don't worry about anything getting ruined.

Let me just say, I loved the book in the first few chapters. It had potential! But then I read chapter after chapter of the same darn thing. Quince and Lily clicking and being romantic, then one of them getting P.O.ed and leaving. The separation process to remove the bond took FOREVER. It was drawn out for the sake of the book, and was not done very well. I thought the characters were deathly undeveloped.

The whole plot was just cliché. I disliked the ending as well, because in my opinion—it wasn't satisfying. Let me say about the epilogue—WTF. Just, that. Uncalled for. You never mentioned anything about Dosinia's parents, and then you do THAT. It was stupid. And just to draw the reader in to read the second book. *sigh*

It gets 2/5 stars, because I enjoyed reading it. Other than the times I was scoffing in my mind. Yeah, I'm not a fan and honestly don't really recommend it.
