Mehso-so

Audio. The narrator was amazing. This is an YA Island horror story, and It helped with the narrator having a Jamaica accent. Otherwise, the story felt a little all over. Couldn‘t tell if the focus was on the romance triangle or on the mystery-horror aspect. Being a Riordan Presents, I was looking forward to learning about the Caribbean islands mythos. Didn‘t get anything like that. Just a “thing” in the Forrest making deadly deals with mortals.

Not forgettable! I‘m very surprised this held my attention given it revolves around the mermaid myth, but it did. The narration was terrific and I‘m sure made all the difference. 🧜🏾‍♀️

It could have used less sex and more plot so I‘d say it‘s a slight pick. Definitely evocative of the islands & culture.

I never thought I would find a children's book that used the magical realism style, but Medina pulls it off in this book! Probably best for stronger readers with good imaginations - the imagery of her language is enchanting.

This caught my attention because the Europa edition cover is beautiful IMO. That is not what I have here. But I am so interested in the mermaid myths that turn up in various cultures across the world. This one is lovely. And an audiobook read with a Caribbean accent? Yes, please!

Beka reflects on the tumultuous past few months, beginning with her failure to pass the term, on her penchant for lying, the stories of “befo time” and political unrest, her great-gran‘s death and wake, a hurricane, and most troubling, the gulf widening between them as Troycie‘s inability to cope with ruinous events causes a breakdown. Beka‘s intelligence and contrariness see her (and the reader) through what could have been just a miserable tale.

Starting the year off a little slowly, only reading these two books. And I haven't finished anything recently.
