Jen was about to spend her summer on board a cruise ship,
studying and seeing the sites. What she does see, will change her life forever.
She meets a strange group of people, who do and say things that cannot be
possible. Here she is thrown into an unknown world, where the strange and
unusual are common place and something on the ship lies in wait.
Elizabeth’s writing is relaxed and easy and you are quickly
drawn into the story. I must admit at first I thought we were heading down the
Twilight route, with a group of strangers and a girl who observed things others
didn’t. I was pleasantly surprised then when we were shown a world of magic and
love. As Jen is completely new to magic, she asks questions that we want
answered ourselves yet at no point did it feel like the information was dumped
into our laps. I liked the way she is unsure about everything and questions the
necessity of certain things.
The fight scenes were well thought out, letting the reader
clearly picture every detail. The
relationships between the group works really well and they all have a
distinctive personality. At times, the pace did slow a little too much and I felt
a couple of the scenes could have been reduced. Saying that, I did like the
intertwined lives of all the different types of magic, which included vampires
and werewolves but also mermaids and elementals. I will look forward to reading
the next in the series.
