Confessions of a Mermaid's Mom

Seaside (The Shadow Over Earth) (Kindle Edition)

By Lindsay and Trevor If

5 STARS to Lindsay and Trevor If for creating a truly original alternate universe. A universe where a decision as mundane as what to wear to school can mean life or death. Where unearthly magic and a history of human sacrifice are as close as the church on the corner. Where the ultimate drug is as near as the beach.  But all is not darkness and strife. Making friends at a new school, figuring out your best color, and asking a boy to the homecoming dance, are all perfectly blended into a slow reveal of magic and a hidden underwater world.  Ashley Dunlop, high school sophomore, must find and reveal her own true colors, not just in her wardrobe choices, but in her quest to make an imperfect world into a better place.  The ending leaves one teetering on the shoreline of a secret alternate universe wondering, what's next?  I can't possibly imagine, but I bet the Ifs can, and I am ready to plunge into the next book of this series the instant it comes out.
 

Wow, what a review!  Five stars!  A review so glowing it's like something your mother might write.
 
But hey, you can read it too, and write a glowing review of your own.  Which can be really fun, especially if you know the author (or the author's mom).

To read the book, no need to own a Kindle.  The Kindle app for iPhone, Android, or your PC, is free.

"Seaside" has gone up from .99 to $2.99 though, so get it now before it takes off for double digits.  As it is surely bound to, with such glowing (and absolutely right-on) reviews.  
 
I confess that I am un-savvy to the wily ways of computer linkage and ebooks.  Anytime I access Amazon, it knows it's me.  It looks from here, that if I put up a link for you from my computer, you will be "me".   I really do love this book, and hope you do too.  But I would prefer you to buy your own copy, you know?  Besides, hey, $2.99!  5 stars!  You really can not go wrong here.  

Besides, admit it, you are dying to voice your own opinion by writing your own review.

So.  Got to amazon.com and search for "Seaside Lindsay If" and it will take you to the gorgeously illustrated turquoise-with-mermaid cover and all the (glowing) reviews.  Download to your Kindle or your phone or PC.  

You will love this novel.  Trust me.  I'm someone's mother.
