Summary from Goodreads:

A red tide is rising.

As the daughter of one of the mer-king’s trusted advisors, seventeen-year-old Jade has great responsibilities. When her fiancé murders a naiad, plunging the underwater city of Thessalonike into uproar, tensions surge between the mer and the naiads. Jade learns too late that the choices she makes ripple further than she'd ever imagined. And as she fights against the tide of anger in a city that lives for scandal, she discovers danger lurking in every canal, imperiling her family and shattering the ocean's fragile peace.

Can the city's divisions be mended before the upwelling of hate rips apart everything Jade loves?

My Rating: 5 Stars

I am in love with this book! I had it read in one sitting and nearly died with that cliffhanger! I need to read the next book now!

I have read a few mermaid books, but this is the first where it was completely underwater. The wold that Catherine Jones Payne created was stunning. I felt like I was swimming with Jade through the canals and out into the open water. 

Jade, she is by far one of the best female protagonist I have read about this year. Strong loyal, and selfless, she has a iron back and a diamond will.  Her resolve throughout the whole book was inspiring. We need more role models like her in YA. 

The only thing that I didn't like was that this book was to short! The drama isn't over and the danger has yet to fade. That ending, I new there was going to be something big, but that, I was a little shocked, and sad, because though I didn't particularly like this character, I was hoping to see more. 

I highly recommend this book, it's everything you want and more in a true mermaid adventure. 

Happy reading.
