Ocean's Gift (Book 2 in the Siren of Secrets series) PAPERBACK

Having read the various prequels (written later) before getting to this one, I was a bit confused by some of the name and detail variations, but once I got those sorted out I enjoyed this. It's a longer and more complete story, with more interest in a variety of types of situation and relationship.

Oceans gift. Is Such a great mermaid story! You fall in love with Vanessa and follow her life both on land and in the ocean!It gives you pause to wonder how intelligent are the beings in the ocean.A true love story as only a books by this author can be!I highly recommend reading not only this novel but each and every one written by this author you won't be sorry!

Ocean's Gift - This series should be read after the Turbulence and Triumph series, but it's not necessary, just sequential. This is another well written story full of romance, intrigue and humor. It's hard to put down any book by this author. Although I chain read these four books, I didn't get oversaturated, which I have done with other authors and stopped reading to have a change. They were like reading a long length novel, the pages just flew by.Fire and Water - A well written, fun filled romance between two unlikely characters that has the entertained reader immersed in their story. The ending is HEA, but not in the way the reader expects it to happen. According to the author, this is a prequel to Ocean's Gift and Ocean's Infiltrator. The male love interest also appears as a minor character in Nightmares of Caitlin Lockyer.How to Catch Crabs - Heartwarmingly funny! A well written, happy romance with two main characters and a fun plot that keep the reader immersed in their story until the story ends, too soon at that. I had to read Ocean's Justice to find out the story of some of the other characters. According to the author, this is a prequel to Ocean's Justice and the Turbulence and Triumph series.Ocean's Justice - Here we met Marie and William. While there is still humor in this well written story, there's a touch of darkness and revenge. A delightful set of characters, along with the not so nice, and a suspenseful plot. I couldn't put this story down until it was finished. Sadly, I didn't have any more of the series to continue on with the story.Halcyon (#1) - A well written scifi/fantasy with believable characters and an interesting twisting plot. I finished Halcyon in one sitting, couldn't put the book down. Ms. Carlton never disappoints the reader, her books are always good, no matter the genre. A gifted storyteller. Love the dedication to the physics PHD. This book has a preview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it.Fishtail (#2) - OMGosh, this series is addicting! I love this well written story with it's interesting characters and twisting plot. I loved the ending, because I wasn't sure the author would return "secret" (read the book to find out). I laughed about the main male character, you can call him a fantasy - I wonder if I have to move to Australia to get one of his kind. This series is just as great as her fairy tales. Again, another good story from a very good author. This book has a preview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it.

LOVE THIS BOOK!

Having read the prequel series by Ms. Carlton, I began Ocean's Gift already in love with the mermaids. Worried about the state of the changing Earth, the mermaid elder council sends three of its members to find out more information from the humans. The novel surrounds the experiences of Sirena, known on land as Vanessa. Stationed with two of her daughters in a remote fishing island cluster, Vanessa meets Joe, a sparky (that's electrician for those of you unfamiliar with the venacular), and a relationship develops. The first in a trilogy, this novel sets the stage for greater things that I cannot wait to read and explore. Having been to Australia, Ocean's Gift makes me want to return, with descriptions of vivid, but trecherous oceans, and rocky beaches. I loved the research that clearly went into this novel, as I felt like I was right there on the fishing boat. Steamy, but still powerful, Ocean's Gift is a solid five-star read, and I'll be picking up the next one as soon as I'm able!
