A 5 star ending to this incredible series. Herbie and Violet have felt like family for the past few years and I will miss them dreadfully. Thomas Taylor has created a series of boks to read over and over again. Just brilliant.

This adventure brings together all the previous mysteries and creatures. A very satisfying ending, but kind of sad that was the last book with Herbie and Violet.

Mermedusa is the fifth and final instalment of my most beloved book series, The Legends of Eerie-on-Sea by Thomas Taylor. 

When I heard that this was to be the final book in the series I was devastated and didn't want it to be true. Taylor has managed to create such a vivid and intriguing place for all these creepy mysteries to take place and every instalment to date has transported me back to my childhood love of reading. 

Mermedusa had some big promises from the outset by having to tie up all the plots that have been expertly placed throughout the previous four books. What happened to Violet's parents? Where did Herbie come from? What is Sebastian Eels' problem and what is the Deepest Secret of Eerie-on-Sea? 

I'm happy to report that the ending is absolutely perfect and delivers on all its promises. I was especially happy to once again have the Malamander wreaking havoc on the town once again and to have all the characters I've grown to love get involved in the finale. 

I am still devastated that this is the final instalment in such a heartwarming and enjoyable tale of adventure and youth but I will never give up hope on there being one more adventure, As I once again use the quote from my very first review of Malamander...."If the impossible is possible anywhere, it’ll be possible in Eerie-on-Sea."
