Lia Nautilus may be a Mermaid, but she’s never lived in the ocean. Ever since the infamous Little Mermaid unleashed a curse that stripped Mer of their immortality, war has ravaged the Seven Seas.
So Lia has grown up in a secret community of land-dwelling Mer hidden among Malibu’s seaside mansions. Her biggest problems are surviving P.E. and keeping her feelings for Clay Ericson in check. Sure, he’s gorgeous in that cocky, leather jacket sort of way and makes her feel like there’s a school of fish swimming in her stomach, but getting involved with a human could put Lia's entire community at risk. So it’s for the best that he’s dating that new girl, right?
That is, until Lia finds out she isn't the only one at school keeping a potentially deadly secret. And this new girl? Her eyes are dead set on Clay, who doesn't realize the danger he's in. If Lia hopes to save him, she’ll have to get closer to Clay than ever. Lia’s parents would totally flip if they found out she was falling for a human boy, but the more time she spends with Clay, the harder it is for Lia to deny her feelings.After making a horrible mistake, Lia will risk everything to stop Clay from falling in love with the wrong girl.
What a refreshing YA read! A modern take on mermaid mythology, EMERGE takes you into the life of Lia Nautilus, a mermaid who was forced to live on land with the rest of her kind, now hiding among us, and spending her days in the halls of her high school. Attracted to a human boy, named Clay, Lia struggles to remain focused and not give away her people's secret. But when a new girl comes to school, something about her makes Lia nervous, and she ends up pulled into a dangerous adventure that has deadly consequences.
I thoroughly enjoyed EMERGE, and in a time when mythological remakes are huge, it's nice to see a novel take on a post-fairytale premise. Think Little Mermaid meets Dorothy Must Die (just less violent).
A must-read, I highly recommend adding EMERGE to your list! A strong 4.5 STARS!!
