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.
The Review: Tera Lynn Child was the first author to convince me that mermaid booka were awesome and now Anna Banks has convinced me that there really should be more mermaid books because Of Poseidon was a fantastic read and it really didn’t disappoint!

Even though I adore YA Paranormal books, lately I’m finding them slightly predictable. Now Of Poseidon is a prime example of UNPREDICTABLE! Why? Because this story is told from both girl and boy’s point of view and you don’t find this often enough in YA Paranormal books. Because of this, it changed the normal route of the book, giving you both points of view and giving you a lot of information up front, rather than waiting until the end to find out all the good stuff, and I have to say I loved it! Anna Banks did a fantastic job of mixing both human and mermaid points of view and not once did I feel overwhelmed. But not only that but even though you knew what was happening from both sides of the story, the book was still full of mystery and the ending was very unpredictable. I have to say, I didn't even see it coming.

What I enjoyed about this book the most were the characters. Both Emma and Galen were easy to like and I loved how easy it was to step into their heads. Not only that their relationship is fiery, full of humour and intense and even the secondary characters have a fantastic and fun relationship. It was really refreshing to read about.

The story itself was exciting, thrilling and fresh. From page one I was captivated until the very last page and honestly, I’d highly recommend this book to anyone. Overall, a fantastic and fascinating read and I can’t wait for more.
