Summary:
Some secrets are better left at the bottom of the ocean.
Sixteen-year-old Bridey Corkill longs to leave her small island and see the world; the farther from the sea, the better. When Bridey was young, she witnessed something lure her granddad off a cliff and into a watery grave with a smile on his face. Now, in 1913, those haunting memories are dredged to the surface when a young woman is found drowned on the beach. Bridey suspects that whatever compelled her granddad to leap has made its return to the Isle of Man.
Soon, people in Bridey’s idyllic village begin vanishing, and she finds an injured boy on the shore—an outsider who can’t remember who he is or where he’s from. Bridey’s family takes him in so he can rest and heal. In exchange for saving his life, he teaches Bridey how to master her fear of the water—stealing her heart in the process.
But something sinister is lurking in the deep, and Bridey must gather her courage to figure out who—or what—is plaguing her village, and find a way to stop it before she loses everyone she loves.
My Thoughts:
This was a very cute read. I loved all of the magic, myths, and history of the Isle of Man. The glossary at the back of the eBook was very helpful, especially when it came to words that I didn't know and weren't familiar to me. In the story, we read from the perspective of Bridey, who hates the water after she watched this strange creature lure her Grandfather to his death. Now several years later, when a mysterious girl is found dead on the beach, strange things begin to happen when people in her own town start going missing, mostly women and young girls. I found the premise of the story interesting, even though it did focus on the blooming romance between Bridey and Fynn. I enjoyed the flow and pace of the story. It wasn't too fast, but it did feel a little slow at times during certain scenes. The story was pretty straight forward and it was easy to predict what was going to happen next. I liked Bridey, she was a sweet character. Fynn was a cute character too. I really enjoyed seeing their relationship in the story grow throughout the story. Bridey's family had a large impact in the story, which I enjoyed seeing because it was able to show the closeness and importance of family in the story. By the time I reached the end of the story, I thought it ended perfectly. It was a short sweet and simple ended that was satisfying to read.
