Christina Escamilla has written a thoughtful review of my novel, Marinian Pearls.



Mermaids are a concept that I feel is still begging to be explored. When they are done, it's generally in a folkloric sense or a strange little romantic tale that attempts to be a Disney-true "The Little Mermaid" copycat. However, that's not what this book is. The author manages to add her own spin on the allegorical creature and rather than having the focus on the physical transformation, the focus is instead on character growth. Although there were some areas that slowed a bit for me, as a reader, I would say as a whole this was a nice, pleasant read that is perfect for the YA crowd. Very original!


Thank you Christina for taking time to read and review my book.
