Forbidden Tides: A Dark YA Mermaid Romance by Kyla Stan, Kyla Stan

Thank you to the author and Booksprout for providing me with a free copy. This is my honest and voluntary review.
The idea behind this story was very intriguing and had a lot of promise. However, the story line was very inconsistent with pacing. It would be slow then a lot would happen and then nothing again. I also didn’t really feel that there was a good climax to the story line. The events near the end felt very rushed and was just a lot thrown at you at once.
That being said, there were a lot of things I liked about the book. The characters were developed nicely throughout the story. The idea behind the story was amazing, and you can tell the author has passion for writing and the ocean. I also enjoyed the romance aspect of it as it added a nice extra part of the story. I also loved how the epilogue/ending was written. It was something I didn’t see coming and really enjoyed that.
Overall, I loved the idea of the story but the writing just wasn’t there for me. I enjoyed the characters and the story itself but it could get confusing and changed pace randomly.
