Hott Synopsis

Kait watched in shock as her best friend, Astrid’s, baby was drowned, because he was half selkie. But when Astrid herself is found floating the pain is unbearable. Kait has no one left, excepting her twin brother.The selkie can’t believe that a human like Kait would murder a babe. Didn’t she realize that it was human, as well? It’s a shame, because now she must be made to pay for killing the selkie.

Hott Review

The writing was good. The plot was good. The characters were well developed. The romance was sweet – if a bit mature.
My biggest problem with the book? The cover! Goodness, he looks younger than my son and each time I picked it up I felt like cougar with a seal fetish just reading it!

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

    Hahahahaha you comments are hilarious! But those were my thoughts exactly (well, not that he looked younger than YOUR son, but that he was so young) his chest isn’t even fully developed yet!
