Review: The Stranger ( The Syrena Legacy #0.4)


BLURB
Free online fiction. Novelette. The Syrena don’t trust many humans. Rachel is one of them. The story of how Galen met her – and how they bonded -- is both exciting and heartbreaking.

Review : Of Neptune (The Syrena Legacy, #3) by Anna Banks

BLURB
Emma, who is half human and half Syrena, and her Syrena love, Galen, need time together. Alone. Away from the kingdoms of Poseidon and Triton. Emma’s grandfather, the Poseidon king, suggests the two visit a small town called Neptune. Neptune is home to both Syrena and Half-Breeds alike. But Emma and Galen didn’t sign up to be peacemakers between the ocean-living Syrena and the land-dwelling, freshwater counterparts. They didn’t bargain for meeting a charming Half-Breed named Reed, who can barely disguise his feelings for Emma. And they especially didn’t expect to find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that threatens not only their love, but their ocean kingdoms. In this stunning conclusion to her bestselling Syrena Legacy, Anna Banks thrills fans with more action and romance than ever.
MY REVIEW Of Neptune (The Syrena Legacy, #3)Of Neptune by Anna Banks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

okay , this one was not like the other two, I mean , yeah ! it had a good plot to keep me interested in it, but come on!! the ending alone left a LOT to ask for! I don't know, maybe a couple of years in the future to know if Emma finally grows a fin , or to know the name of their children, ohh please I would be more than satisfied just with have them in the college for one minute. I don't know, that ending was definitely ....not pleasant at all!
Besides I don't even know what happen to all the rest of the syrena and half-breeds , for what I read about Reed , looks like there's gonna be a lot of mini little half-breed very soon, but nothing related to what happend with all the Poseidon descendants and everything related to the law and the kingdoms, and every single thing related to that stuffs, that was pretty much enough to keep me interested in the first two books.
I only rating it 3, and that generous enough , only due to Galen and Emma, because I followed their story, but the book as in drama and plot... I like wayyy too much the first two.
One thing I liked as well was that the story was told from both POV, Galen's and Emma's;so having Galen wondering about something she might do and Emma already plotting it inside her head... was pretty much funny.
I liked the whole fiction and fantasy story in the background in order to create the character's story ; but I'm just saying that I'd love to read a little bit much about how ALL of that ended.

Review: Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2) by Anna Banks

BLURB
Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half-Breeds should be put to death. As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she’s never known? Once again, Anna Banks infuses Emma and Galen's points of view with humor, intrigue, and waves of romance.
MY REVIEW Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)Of Triton by Anna Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love it,I love it; third is do freaking funny and keeps me all over interested all the time I practically ate the book, if not because I need time to do other things,I would never have separated my hands from the book, and I didn't do that since a very long time ago.
Ok, it's a story about mermaids, well sure as, from Latin I guess, beast in Spanish is sirenas , that is exactly the same meaning as mermaids. Oh anyway, the story is totally directed to young adults, full of fantasy and teen love, but I kind of enjoyed the little twists over here and there to spice it up, like being put unconscious under chloroform by your own mother, being deceived for your friend pretending to be hurt by a shot made for your mother in order to stop your car and come to check on her and of course finding out that talking to freaking whales and sharks was also very helping.
Besides we always get females heroine when it's come to mermaids stories, so reading about males... Is do much interesting.
So yeah, as I said before I would pick this book anytime to read under any circumstance.
It really makes your mind wanders around a world of fantasy.

Review: Of Poseidon (The Syrena Legacy #1) by Anna Banks

BLURB
Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom... Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.
MY REVIEW Of Poseidon (The Syrena Legacy, #1)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Okay, this is a book I'll pick at any time, so light to read, so funny and cute I really enjoyed reading it.
The typical story of two adolescents faking in love with some very attractive twists like the heroine is not the damsel in distress as the beginning of the book, and the prince is not flirting with her for his own benefit.. Oh no! He is doing it for his brother so... Hello!!
Is more funny than anything else, not finding quite attractive the story itself just until the very last party, when the only phrase I've got in mind for that time was,I didn't see that one coming.
So yeah, I'd definitely pick it up at anytime.
