The ending was fast-paced, but I loved the epilogue so, so much. *.*
With the death of a friend weighing heavily on Galen's mind, he and Emma take to land for a summer vacation. At Antonis' urging, they stop off at Neptune, Tennessee. What they find there changes everything they know about the Syrena and even endangers their own lives.
Bottom-line: Excellent ending to a fabulous series!

So, right from the get go the timeline of this story makes no sense. Book One covers the end of summer/school starting. Book Two covers a few months worth of time which should put us dead set in winter in New England roughly, and while I understand that the Syrena don’t get cold in the water, it would still be cold and snowy outside, yet that’s never mentioned. By the end of that book we are somehow miraculously in a prom scenario, which typically happens closer to graduation in the spring. So where did all the winter months and early spring go? Because the beginning of Book Three prom has come and gone and they are talking about going on a trip together since somehow they both managed to graduate high school without either of them attending any classes. The timeline is really screwy and I’m betting the author didn’t think anyone would care so she didn’t deign to make it cohesive, but I guess I’m a person who cares
I think this was my least favorite book of the trilogy. It wasn't awful or anything, but I didn't feel that it was entirely necessary either. Although it was entertaining to read, the conflicts in this book all formed and were resolved within this book, so it just seemed tacked onto the first two books.
I did like the change of scenery in this book from New Jersey. I enjoyed the expansion of the world and the dynamics between the different groups.
However, although Galen has always been protective of Emma, I felt like he got too over-the-top in this book. I was tired of the testosterone wars by the end of this book.

While I liked this book, it was kind of disappointing. This book was unnecessary. There was no real purpose of this story. The only interesting thing about was Emma and Galen’s mating ceremony, which is why I rated 4 stars instead of 3.
Plot I was really excited to read this book, but was a little wary since I read some reviews. I loved seeing Emma and Galen’s relationship grow and mature. They finally got into a fight instead of it a totally unrealistic insta love. But the storyline was confusing. First there was Tyrone, then Kennedy, and then Reder’s plan, and then Emma and Reed’s please don’t romance. So yeah, lots going on. While Tyrden kind went with the main storyline of Jagen, it kind of made sense. But Kennedy came out of no where and was completely unnecessary. Honestly this series should have ended after the second book.
Characters
Emma- I don’t really have nothing against Emma. But I don’t really have nothing positive about her either. She was almost using Reed for the life she wanted to live. She didn’t see Reed as Reed she saw him as being accepted as a Half Breed and being able to live on land.
Galen- While I thought his concerns and wanting to live in the ocean was valid, he could have said it better. And then he was going to tell Grom about Neptune. Which was so not cool. But then he got better. He went to save Reed when he didn’t have to, and now he is negotiating peace between the kingdoms and Neptune.
Reed- I think everybody has iced feeling about him. I kind of liked him. I didn’t want him to be with Emma, but he was good friend material.
Nalia- She really got on my nerves. I know she wasn’t in this book as much as the others, but still. I know she’s Emma mom, but she treated Emma like a 5 year old who can’t take care of herself. She was still ordering her around and telling her what to do. Emma is an adult who is about to get married! I think she can make her own decisions.

The first book is still my favourite! But I finally got the character development I was hoping for!! Plus this book was just SO. INTENSE. Which was awesome.
The reason for not five stars is Emma's constant blushing, and kind of immature way of speaking that just didn't mesh well with me.
