“Can you hear Atlantia breathing?
For as long as she can remember, Rio has dreamt of the sand and sky Above—of life beyond her underwater city of Atlantia. But in a single moment, all her plans for the future are thwarted when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected decision, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rio’s true self—and the powerful siren voice she has long hidden—she has nothing left to lose. Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mother’s death, her own destiny, and the complex system constructed to govern the divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths

I have been thinking of featuring this book months ago, but since I was overwhelmed with a lot of books I want to feature I’ve set this aside. Anyway, it’s here and I’ve already heard a lot of good things about Atlantia. Haven’t read a good mermaid book since The Syrena Legacy by Anna Banks so I’m pretty excited about it too.  I have always been fascinated with mermaids! 🙂

Book Review: Of Neptune (The Syrena Legacy #3)

Emma and Galen’s kingdom and their love is threatened by long-lost Syrena in the brilliant conclusion to Anna Banks bestselling trilogy.

Emma, half human and half Syrena, and her Syrena love, Galen, need time together alone. Away from the kingdoms of Poseidon and Triton. Emma’s grandfather, the Poseidon king, suggests the two visit a small town called Neptune.

Neptune is home to both Syrena and Half-Breeds alike. But Emma and Galen didn’t sign up to be peacemakers between the ocean and the land-dwelling, freshwater Syrena. They didn’t bargain for meeting a charming Half-Breed named Reed, who can barely disguise his feelings for Emma. And they especially didn’t expect to find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that threatens not only their love but their ocean kingdoms.

In this stunning conclusion to her bestselling Syrena Legacy, Anna Banks thrills fans with more action and romance than ever.

I really thought that the ending of Of Triton have summed up the entire series so I’m nothing but curious as to why Anna wrote a third book. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not whining about it. I’m actually thrilled when I learned about Of Neptune and looking forward to a new adventure with Emma, Galen and the rest of the characters. Apparently, Of Neptune seems like a bonus story. If you have read Of Poseidon and Of Triton, then you’ll understand why and I love it.

Currently Reading #1

Figured that I could post those books that I’m currently reading and do a book review after. I haven’t thought of this before because I’m such a slackass. Haha! Just recently picked up the drive to truly do this and I’m keeping my hopes high that I could do this unswervingly. Read a LOT of books and haven’t posted any reviews for them, I feel like a loser so I’m crossing my fingers for this. I’ll try, (but not promising anything) to still do reviews from books I’ve read for the past few months since I’m on a reading spree lately. I also be updating my blog for some Waiting on Wednesday posts so you guys (If I have readers out there 🙂 ) could have an idea of what’s going on in my little bibliophilic head.

So for my Currently Reading debut, I’ve chosen the book that I have waited a year to be published and recently got. Drum roll please 😀
