Description

Seventeen-year-old Crystal White is the new girl on Starfish Island. Dragged to the remote community by her environmental activist father, she is eager to find fun that doesn’t involve touching fish guts or listening to local folklore.

During a midnight swim with some new friends, Crystal is pulled out to sea by the waves. Convinced she’s going to drown, Crystal is rescued by Llyr, a handsome stranger. As she searches for him in the following weeks, she finds there may be more truth to the Starfish legends than she thought.

Over a sizzling roller-coaster summer, Llyr introduces Crystal to magic she’d only ever dreamed of. But as Crystal comes to love Starfish Island, it begins to drive her family apart. A nearby power plant is devastating local marine life, and her parents are stuck in the middle. As the magic and mundane parts of Crystal’s life converge, she finds herself risking everything to save Llyr, her family, and herself.

This was my first read from Josie Demuth and I flew through this book! I enjoyed the characters and the story line, although, I was left wishing for further character and plot development. This is a beautiful story of star-crossed love, yet different from other books that I have read. As an educator I wouldn't use this as curriculum due to sexual content, however, without the sexual content I feel it would be an entertaining read for young adults! I was not aware until I finished reading that this is a series, and am now looking very forward to reading more from this creative author.

I received a copy of this book from Net Galley and Wise Ink Creative Publishing for an honest review. This book kept me on my toes from start to finish. I enjoyed Crystal and Llyr and their love story. The creative twists that incorporated first love, mermaids and mermen, troubled parent relationships, and a teenager in a new town kept me entertained the entire book. I enjoyed the levity of the writing and never got bored by this story. The way Josie Demuth incorporated fantasy and coming of age was brilliant!
