Between The Land And The Sea by Derrolyn Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mermaids, and surfers, and divas! Oh my! Think you can handle it?

Anderson artfully depicts an impressionistic tale in the style of realism. As I came to the end of the first of Marina's Tales, I realized that I had come to accept her story as a believable reality; fins and all. Am I crazy? Maybe. But update GIDGET, throw in some "Fierce!" PROJECT RUNWAY, add in the LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS (now THE FABULOUS LIFE OF...), and layer it with scenery of San Francisco along with the coast of Aptos; you can get a glimpse of the life of Marina. Extraordinary creatures didn't phase me since I became spoiled by default. Awesome but child-like mermaids are just the icing with a cherry on top.

These mermaids are definitely unique though as far as their orgins and struggles with ADD...who knew that being immortal could have its disadvantages? Between the Land and Sea is a beautiful, sweet story that wouldn't let me go until I finished its pages. Follow Marina as she discovers her mysterious past to answer the puzzling present. Future...will she have one?
