Book Review- Fins Are Forever

I just finished reading Fins Are Forever by Tera Lynn Childs for an Around the World ARC Tour.

From Goodreads:

On Lily Sanderson’s eighteenth birthday she’ll become just a girl—still a mer girl, true, but signing the renunciation paperwork will ink Princess Waterlily of Thalassinia out of existence. That leaves plain old Lily living on land, dating the boy she loves, and trying to master this being human thing once and for all.

Now that Lily and Quince are together, mer-bond or not, she’s almost content to give up her place in the royal succession of Thalassinia. But just when she thinks she has everything figured out, Lily’s father sends a certain whirlpool-stirring cousin to stay with her on land. What did Doe do to get herself exiled from Thalassinia and stuck in terraped form, when everyone knows how much she hates humans? And why why why is she batting her eyelashes at Lily’s former crush, Brody?

The seafoam on the surf comes when a merboy from Lily’s past shows up. Tellin asks Lily for something that clouds her view of the horizon. There’s a future with Quince on land, her loyalty to the kingdom in the sea, and Lily tossing on the waves in the middle. Will she find a way to reconcile her love, her duty, and her dreams?

This was a great, fun sequel to Forgive My Fins!  I had been so looking forward to reading this book, and it didn't disappoint!  Lily is still such a fun character (and I love her little quips and sayings that have to do with the ocean...although I think there was more in the first book and would have loved there to be more in this one.)  And Quince.  Sigh.  Another "bad boy" type that isn't really a bad boy.  Loved him!

This book is definitely a light, fun read.  I'm not sure if there is going to be a third book in the series, but if there is one, I'll definitely be picking it up!

Fins are Forever will be released on June 28, 2011.

I gave this book a rating of 4/5.
