Mer-Charmer

(World of Aluvia Book 2)

By Amy Bearce

Fourteen-year-old Phoebe Quinn is surrounded by magic, but she can’t muster any of her own. Her sister is a fairy keeper. Her best friends are merfolk. And all she does is dishes and housework.

When Phoebe finds out a terrible sea creature is awakening that preys upon the peace-loving merfolk, she becomes determined to help them, even though it means going with Tristan and Mina to their home deep in the sea.

Beneath the waves, Phoebe learns she’s more like her sister than she realized. The merfolk are drawn to her, and she can sense the magic of the sea all around her. Magic is finally at her fingertips, but that’s precisely why the stirring dark power under the waters decides it wants her most of all.

Now she must not only help the peaceful merfolk escape this ancient enemy, she must master her out-of-control powers. If she fails, she will die and darkness will rise and enslave the merfolk once more. But embracing her full power could cost her the very people she loves the most.

Isn't this cover fabadoucous? - I think I just might have invented a new word! This book had all the feels, the pages were crips, the cover felt like a kind of thick cardboard but not to thick _ okay, I'll shut up now!

 I was completely enveloped in this amazing fantasy world that Amy Bearce has created. I simply adored everything about this book, the setting, the characters, the adventure and yes, the pages did feel nice between my fingers - I must stop, it sounds like I have some sort of paper fetich _ I don't, by the way. 

This is a great novel for young adult and us older adults alike. A real gem of a book.

I was gifted this novel for my birthday, but you can pick a copy up on Amazon
