Siren by Tricia Rayburn (I already had this but I wanted it in hardcover so that when the new one comes out they all match..I'm just weird that way. Totes soz).

Wrecked by Anna Davies

Wrecked

Book: Wrecked
Author: Anna Davies
Publisher: Simon and Schuster

I feel sorry for mermaid-siren-water-person type books, because it seems like nobody really likes them except me! I love Tricia Rayburn's Siren novels (cannot wait for Dark Water) so I was so excited when I got Wrecked.

Good thing number one: This book is blurbed by Becca Fitzpatrick. Love her.

Good thing number two: I loved the setting of this book. Loved it. I am guaranteed to give any book set on the coast at least a five out of ten, just for proximity of the ocean. I can't help myself.

Good thing number three: I also liked that the main character had a legitimate reason to be upset and annoyed; most of her friends were dead and she was getting the blame for what happened to them. That would irritate me! Also, the love interest Christian? Swoon worthy.

Bad things? I can't put my finger on exactly why this isn't my new favorite book. It has all the ingredients: sea, paranormal romance, bitchy grandmother. This book should be rivaling Anna and the French Kiss for my affections and it just isn't. I think that's my issue though; it's not the books fault.

Rating? A good seven out of ten. I'd definitely recommend this as a start-of-summer read.
