Claire's Kidnapping (The Rein
DON'T GO TO THE PARK AFTER DARK . . .
After Claire is snatched from her local park, she is in the midst of being taken to her death when she is thrown off her abductors’ speedboat into dark, murky water.
Claire is disoriented and practically hopeless when suddenly, the light from the speedboat is blinding her. With dwindling seconds to spare and hardly a clue on what to do, Claire feels something latch on to her leg. She is yanked under and pulled through a portal, finding a mysterious being towering over her once she finally comes to a halt.
Decades later, a young girl by the name of Clove relives Claire’s unbelievable life through spine-chilling flashbacks. When Clove begins to crave more information as to why the flashbacks are happening, she turns to her crush, her brother’s charming, knowledgeable best friend, Lucas.
This swirl of young adult fantasy and budding romance is perfect for teens and adults who want to lose themselves in a world of mystical creatures, unraveling secrets, and a past that refuses to stay buried. A dual timeline weaves together eerie flashbacks and a present-day mystery that has only just begun to unfold.

Thank you Siri Hutton for the advanced copy of your debut novel!! This was a magical and wonderful YA fantasy story, and I'm so happy I got to read it 🌟
In this story you get to follow 16 year old Claire as she gets kidnapped and ends up in the merfolk world; a beautiful underwater world filled with sea creatures, innovations and magic. You also get to follow 13 year old Clove as she's getting visions of Claire's adventures in the merfolk world while also dealing with a crush on her brother's best friend. A well balanced and intriguing story for sure!
This was the first part of a series, and I'm yet to find out how Claire and Clove are connected and what's causing these visions. We also don't know exactly what's going on in the merfolk world yet - but something's definitely fishy and I can't wait to find out what happens next!
This is a cute and captivating story with a little bit of everything; a magical fantasy world, adventure, teenage crushes, family drama and making big decisions. It has the potential to develop into a lovely YA romantasy and I highly recommend it to my teenage followers 💫

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.
Oh, boy.
So what is the story about? It's about Claire, a sixteen year old girl who is kidnapped, and finds herself transported to the world of Merfolk, where not everything is as it seems. But it's also about Clove, a 13YO with an inappropriate blossoming relationship with a 16YO neighbour who gets visions of what is happening to Claire.
I made rather a lot of notes as I read, but I'm not going to wax lyrical on all the problems I came across when reading. I'll make it succinct, because Siri Hutton seems like a new author, and although I didn't enjoy this book, I want to be helpful to her, not just trash her.
This read very much like a first draft that had been run through some SPAG software. There's an old adage that says the first draft is the author telling themselves the story, the next drafts are the story taking shape. I always think of writing a story as building your own Frankenstein, the first draft are the bones, but the organs, the sinew, the tendons, the nervous system, the flesh, the clothing, they all come with other drafts and edits. When you get good enough, you can work some of those areas together and just edit or do chunks of rewriting. A lot of the prose felt like Siri trying to piece together the story she wanted to tell.
There's a lot of superfluous detail. Siri clearly has an eye for detail, but that detail has to mean something. For example, there's an entire paragraph about Clove eating cinnamon granola and the lingering smell in the house. But that detail doesn't matter if cinnamon isn't the reason Clove is picturing Claire and her ordeal. Granola is pointless if it doesn't signal something else going off in the chapter.
The two storylines didn't coalesce well. I actually stopped reading Claire's chapters after her second one, not because I preferred Clove's POV, but because Clove repeated what Claire was experiencing. Did I get all the details about the merworld? No, but I knew the events from what Clove saw. When you can skip half the prose and still know the plot, there's too much extraneous detail in your novel. And yet, there was so much that could have been explored. Too much telling, not enough driving the plot forward. I really wanted to get into the meat of the story, and never really got there, because - to borrow from my earlier analogy - it's all bone.
There is no conclusion, which is frustrating. Even in a series, every novel should be a capsule story in and of itself, so someone could understand the world and get a full experience in say, book 4, then go back and enjoy the books that came before in their own right. But instead, there's Claire learning about the merfolk and that something sinister lurks below the surface. And there's a lot of back and forth and blaming Clove for the relationship with her neighbour (despite him being around 3 years older than her. Though I got confused on that, at some points he was 17, and others he was "almost 3 years older" than her 13, nearly 14) which made me very uncomfortable.
I think this story could have done well with more revisions and more eyes on it. It's an interesting concept, but the execution gives me the feeling that Siri rushed to publish her novel. And yes, I have my beta hat on, I was hoping to just sink into a good novel and beta reader came out early and stuck around. And yes, this is succinct compared to my notes. I just hope that there's something in here that Siri can take on board for the rest of the series.
Oh, and a further aside, I hope I'm updating on the right book? There seems to be 2 entries for this book on Goodreads listings.

This book would be good for a young teen just getting into fantasy/romantasy. As an adult reader though, it fell flat. All of the questions I had during the set up of the book and all the questions I formed as I continued the story, were not answered. It’s great to keep readers questioning and create tension in writing, but in this case it made it hard to be invested in the storyline and the world when no questions were answered. If a bit more world building was done maybe I would have felt a connection to the characters or the world, but I didn’t. The whole book could have been a chapter or two at the beginning of the next book as the whole book felt like a set up to a world and not an entire book itself.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a YA debut fantasy novel, perfect for young people and for oldies who love cosy fantasy.
The novel tells the story of Claire, who is kidnapped in a local park and thrown through a portal, were mermaids exist! All of this is told in two povs, which was perfect to maintain the whole mystery during the book.
All the characters are interesting and have an important part during the novel, I specially liked the two main female characters and I hope we see strong development for them in the future.
The mystery was really well crafted and the ending shocked me, I wish we had book two already. I need answers! I want to know what's really going on and what's going to happen to these girls.
If you like ya cosy fantasy, with a mystery as a focus and mermaids, this book is for you. Don't miss out, this gets out on November 5th.
Thank you to the author for sending me a copy of this novel, all opinions are my own.

⭐⭐✨ 2.5 stars, rounded down to 2
🍓 Clean story, first crushes
💬 Mild (holy cow, what the hell)
❗Fear, violence, kidnapping (duh lol), magic, reincarnation
.
My thoughts:
I had a hard time deciding whether I like this book or not. The first chapter was really good and I loved the contrast between two scenes in it, but after that I liked only half of the novella. There are two POVs. While Claire has a LOT going on (come on, she was KIDNAPPED, it's in the title!) she doesn't exactly... Do anything about it. Most of the time her chapters were boring, despite all of the amazing and magical worldbuilding. It's just that nothing impacted her and her decisions, so it all felt unimportant. Clove's POV, on the other hand, was more interesting, thanks to her proactivity (as Sanderson says) even in the smallest and most ordinary tasks and decisions. She acted and shaped the story, rather than reacting to what was happening around her. If you like stories driven by plot rather than characters, fantasy, clean YA romance and dual timelines, definitely read this novella! Though it wasn't my favourite read of the year, I'm glad I've read it and I wish Siri all the best on her writing journey! ❤️

Where to begin with this one?
First and foremost.. thank you @author.siri.hutton for allowing me an arc copy of your debut novel! I love reading arcs and being able to give reviews! 💙
While this wasn’t MY cup of tea, I know some out there will enjoy it. Things just my personal opinion and real review of the book!
Claire is our FMC, in the beginning, who is at a local park meeting a friend. She quickly senses danger… where she was right to feel that way. She was kidnapped by a couple and in their hustle and bustle of trying to be quick Claire ended up “falling” and getting away. Where she got away too… a magical merfolk land underwater, where she realizes a mermaid saved her and drug her through for safety.
Aside from Claire, we also have Clove. A young FMC who is visioning things happening to Claire.. with no real answers as to why…
This story is full of secrets, hidden agendas, and lots of chaos. It does leave you with many, many unanswered questions in quite the bad cliffhanger sense (similar to that of a tv series).. but with no real connection to want to read what happens next to find those answers. I feel like I’m content with this story/series ending here for me.
I’ll look for reviews of the next book and for spoilers to know. But that’s about it. 💙

Claire’s Kidnapping
When Claire leaves the park after meeting a friend, she never expects her next destination to be the bottom of the ocean. Trapped in a sinking container and running out of air, she’s saved by mysterious merfolk who pull her into their hidden world beneath the waves. But the deeper she’s drawn into their realm, the more questions she has. Why they rescued her, what secrets they’re hiding, and whether she truly wants to return to the surface.
Above the waves, Clove can see what’s happening to Claire—in vivid, haunting visions she can’t explain. She confides in her brother’s friend—the one she secretly likes.
Will Claire ever make it home? And what if the merfolk won’t let her go?
A fun debut saga with so many questions than answers. Until book two.

In this book we are following 16 year old Claire-who has been kidnapped, thrown off a speedboat and ends up in a portal into a land that she was not anticipating.
Decades later we are following 13 year old Clove who is having flashbacks to Claire’s kidnapping and she isn’t sure what to do. She ends up confiding in her big brothers best friend, Lucas. The problem is Roman(cloves big brother) doesn’t like them hanging out and there seems to be alot of secrets between Roman and Lucas. They are keeping Clove in the dark, but she is determined to figure out what’s going on + while trying to figure out why she is having these flashbacks and what she can do about it.
I think the bones of this book is interesting. The execution wasn’t quite there. It felt a bit messy with the timeline-jumping around to Claire and then back to cove was a bit disorienting. Claire seems to just be along for the ride where she ends up, which is fine I guess, but it doesn’t seem very believable. The romantic aspects aren’t believable either.
This is a a first book in a series, so I am curious to see how the story pans out.

This book just isn't for me, but that doesn't mean other people won't get something from it. The high level ideas are a lot of fun though. The exploration of a unique fantasy world and playing with timelines in one story has a lot of potential and I think it's going somewhere interesting.
However, the writing style may need more time to simmer and find a more confident voice. The perspective of these characters is erratic with clipped sentences, making the experience more like reading an unfiltered diary or a fan fiction.

This was a cute little fantasy read. It is YA and would be great for 13+. There is a young girl with a cute little crush on her brother’s best friend. There are mermaids. It was a fun little read around 200 pages. It’s something I would def let my kids read.

I received an advanced copy from the author and I appreciate the opportunity to read your book. I actually did not finish the book. I tried, I made it 44%. The first chapter was good and got me interested and then it lost me when it went into the other world. I just felt this book might be geared toward middle school readers and I just couldn’t get into it, but I have loved books people hated and hated books people loved.
November 5, 2025
This was a quick read. I am unclear on what the book was about. There were two different stories going on that never matched up. This book just wasn't for me. Reading is subjective so maybe you will love it.
November 8, 2025
This book follows two female main characters that are decades apart in their story timelines. Claire (16) is kidnapped and then taken through a portal where she discovers a whole new world and has to figure out if she wants to stay or not. Clove (13) is in the current timeline and has her own things to figure out. The book goes back and forth between the two and is told in 3rd person which can be confusing. This is definitely YA or even a middle school level book.
November 4, 2025
When I first started reading, the first chapter had me hooked. But then, the book seemed to do a complete 180 and it did not seem to fit. The alternating time lines were confusing and even after reading it, I am still not quite sure what happened. The ending felt incomplete and very abuptly open -ended.
I am curious to see what the next book entails.

🌊💜🧜🏻♀️ Claire's Kidnapping ARC Review 🧜🏻♀️💜🌊
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A teenager kidnapped decades ago, falls into the open ocean to be saved from near-drowning by a mermaid. A current day teenager who starts having uncontrollable, visions of the abduction and life afterwards.
🫵🏼 This book is for you if you:
• love an incredibly creative fantasy world
• enjoy not knowing exactly what's going on
• like embracing the journey to unraveling secrets
• enjoy YA fantasy where the MC are 14-16
• enjoy sweet, budding, romance
🌊🌊🌊
Claire's Kidnapping is a fast paced YA fantasy story with an incredibly imaginative aquatic world and a mystery unraveling between characters in dual timelines.
📖 I found the plot interesting and loved Siri's aquatic imagining.
Siri's use dual timelines and intercut perspectives effectively, and in a way that feels intuitive to read.
The ending - cliffhanger warning.
✍🏼 Rich descriptions and a quick pace make for a quick, exciting read full of mysteries.
I appreciate that during the more tense scenes Siri uses words, phrases, and shorter sentences to help the reader feel the sense of urgency. Siri uses internal monologue quite effectively to help the reader connect with and feel empathy for both Claire and Clove. She also withholds just enough while still moving the plot forward that kept me turning pages. Siri also does a great job of showing us (or reminding us, rather 😂) the emotional turmoil we sometimes feel during our teen years, especially with how big all of our emotions feel. The ups and downs Clove experiences are only escalated by the flashbacks, the mystery, and probably most importantly - the loss of control she feels.
There is some head hopping, less than a handful of times and each is only a sentence.
✨ This is YA and reads like YA. This isn't a negative as it's intended to be YA, but a caution to anyone who doesn't enjoy YA. That being said, I learned that I don't love reading teen dialogue. I didn't take off for this, though.
⏳ This is pretty fast paced, with well executed perspective intercuts keeping things rolling.
The ending felt a bit rushed, a bit like it came out of nowhere.
🗺️ The underwater world Siri created is immersive and lush, quite a testament to her creativity. It's richly imagined, too, but what I loved most was the thought and attention to detail put into the world under the sea. What the mer people use to power their vehicles, that they retrofit submarines into basically RVs, etc. It's interesting and well thought out. We learn how they travel, h
"Clove would lose her marbles if Cora said “magic” or “spell” one more time to answer Claire's questions."
🔮 I don't know a lot about the specifics of the magic system yet, as neither Claire or Clove know the details. But it's off to a great start.
👥 I found the characters to be well developed teenagers, in all their emotional angst glory. I genuinely mean that as a compliment, but if you aren't a fan of reading about younger teens, this may not be for you as the MCs act their ages. A few times I found myself a bit irritated with Clove and felt she was immature - then I reminded myself that she's not even 14 (but only a couple months shy of 14). 😂 That sentiment applies to all the MCs, they act and speak their ages, for the most part.
✨ This could be 100% be a 'my current brain' issue, but at times I had some difficulty remembering or differentiating Claire and Clove. I have a theory regarding something about them that I'm quite curious to see if is anything close to the truth. 😆 Anyway, that did result it me needing to reread passages and what not on occasion, which took me out of the book a bit.
✨ I struggled to fully connect or relate to the characters, likely due to (or at least in part) to how far removed I am from being 14-16.
💖 This is a sweet, budding romance situation - very age appropriate. Remember your first crush and how that felt? That's this, including the cringe inducing moments, the exhilaration of new love, all of it.

💬 As a 42yr old, I'm not really part of the demographic this book is for. So on one hand, it's a 3 star read for me because of things related to that. But I felt it wasn't fair for me to rate a book solely based on that, so I'm attempting to be as objective as I can.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
A teenager kidnapped decades ago, falls into the open ocean to be saved from near-drowning by a mermaid. A current day teenager who starts having uncontrollable, visions of the abduction and life afterwards.
🫵🏼 This book is for you if you:
• love an incredibly creative fantasy world
• enjoy not knowing exactly what's going on
• like embracing the journey to unraveling secrets
• enjoy YA fantasy where the MC are 14-16
• enjoy sweet, budding, romance
🌊🌊🌊
Claire's Kidnapping is a fast paced YA fantasy story with an incredibly imaginative aquatic world and a mystery unraveling between characters in dual timelines.
📖 I found the plot interesting and loved Siri's aquatic imagining.
Siri's use dual timelines and intercut perspectives effectively, and in a way that feels intuitive to read.
The ending - cliffhanger warning.
✍🏼 Rich descriptions and a quick pace make for a quick, exciting read full of mysteries.
I appreciate that during the more tense scenes Siri uses words, phrases, and shorter sentences to help the reader feel the sense of urgency. Siri uses internal monologue quite effectively to help the reader connect with and feel empathy for both Claire and Clove. She also withholds just enough while still moving the plot forward that kept me turning pages. Siri also does a great job of showing us (or reminding us, rather 😂) the emotional turmoil we sometimes feel during our teen years, especially with how big all of our emotions feel. The ups and downs Clove experiences are only escalated by the flashbacks, the mystery, and probably most importantly - the loss of control she feels.
There is some head hopping, less than a handful of times and each is only a sentence.
✨ This is YA and reads like YA. This isn't a negative as it's intended to be YA, but a caution to anyone who doesn't enjoy YA. That being said, I learned that I don't love reading teen dialogue. I didn't take off for this, though.
⏳ This is pretty fast paced, with well executed perspective intercuts keeping things rolling.
The ending felt a bit rushed, a bit like it came out of nowhere.
🗺️ The underwater world Siri created is immersive and lush, quite a testament to her creativity. It's richly imagined, too, but what I loved most was the thought and attention to detail put into the world under the sea. What the mer people use to power their vehicles, that they retrofit submarines into basically RVs, etc. It's interesting and well thought out. We learn how they travel, h
"Clove would lose her marbles if Cora said “magic” or “spell” one more time to answer Claire's questions."
🔮 I don't know a lot about the specifics of the magic system yet, as neither Claire or Clove know the details. But it's off to a great start.
👥 I found the characters to be well developed teenagers, in all their emotional angst glory. I genuinely mean that as a compliment, but if you aren't a fan of reading about younger teens, this may not be for you as the MCs act their ages. A few times I found myself a bit irritated with Clove and felt she was immature - then I reminded myself that she's not even 14 (but only a couple months shy of 14). 😂 That sentiment applies to all the MCs, they act and speak their ages, for the most part.
✨ This could be 100% be a 'my current brain' issue, but at times I had some difficulty remembering or differentiating Claire and Clove. I have a theory regarding something about them that I'm quite curious to see if is anything close to the truth. 😆 Anyway, that did result it me needing to reread passages and what not on occasion, which took me out of the book a bit.
✨ I struggled to fully connect or relate to the characters, likely due to (or at least in part) to how far removed I am from being 14-16.
💖 This is a sweet, budding romance situation - very age appropriate. Remember your first crush and how that felt? That's this, including the cringe inducing moments, the exhilaration of new love, all of it.

First off, thankyou to Siri and her team for allowing me in the ARC team for this!
Siri Hutton paints a beautiful and magical world that slowly feels more cruel as you continue to explore it. Love, mystery, change, and sacrifice become underlying themes in this engaging title with a fresh view on life under the sea. I will never look at the word “zubbles” the same again. Everything is outlined in a way that will make you feel involved in every movement throughout Claire and Clove’s days. Clever (but corny) purposes of things in the ocean really put together a mysterious community that could feel like home to any visitor and alluring magic to mesmerize the reader.
Plot:
After a tragic kidnapping, Claire is thrust into a world of mystery, magic, and mayhem she’s barely had time to uncover as she prepares to make one of the most permanent, difficult decisions she’s ever had to face: abandon her life on land or face the consequences of returning back home. In this young adult fantasy, mermaids and mer-men begin to feel like more real as she experiences a whole new life in what seemed to save her from another terrible fate. Too dreamy to be true, is it a trap, or a wish come true?
Alternatively, Clove is just a teenage girl with a psychic connection while trying to live a normal life and with a long-time crush on her neighbor’s teenage son. What started off as a glimpse into Claire’s world becomes a question of exactly what Claire is to her. Savior? Memory? Or else? Only, Clove can see things Claire can’t, secrets the underwater world hold, with no way to communicate them.
Conclusion: Siri leads elusive clues that really make you wonder just what the connection is between the two girls. As book one in the series, I am genuinely curious exactly what choices will come about, and how they will affect both Claire and Clove as both their lives seem to entwine more and more. Between the magic of the mysterious mermaid world and the uncanny ability for Clove to tap into it, it feels surreal, creating a curiosity for answers on how it has seemingly thrived for so long without trouble, and the fates of the humans who have discovered it in past and present. A haunting feeling that something deep is going on underneath all the pretty magic and merry community can’t help but to creep up.

Thank you so much to the author for giving me the opportunity to read this book as an ARC. As always, this review reflects my honest thoughts.
Claire’s Kidnapping has a very intriguing premise. The opening is chilling, and the idea of Claire being pulled through a portal into another world had the potential to create a gripping, eerie mystery. I also thought the dual timeline setup, where Clove experiences Claire’s past through unsettling flashbacks, could have been a strong foundation for a tense and immersive story.
However, the execution made this a difficult read for me. The writing felt stiff and in need of more revision, which made the scenes feel disconnected and sometimes confusing. The worldbuilding also felt underdeveloped, and many moments that should have held emotional impact did not have the clarity or depth needed to land fully.
I also struggled with the character relationships. Clove is only thirteen while Lucas is sixteen or seventeen, and the romantic undertones between them felt inappropriate given their ages. In addition, Clove’s relationship with her brother Roman often felt unusually intense. His protectiveness crossed into a space that was more uncomfortable than caring. One scene in particular, where Roman walks in on Clove while she is changing, felt unnecessary and did not contribute to the plot or character development. There were many more appropriate ways for Lucas to express finding her pretty without including that situation.
The plot itself ended very abruptly. Even in a series, I generally expect book one to resolve at least one central thread before transitioning to the next installment. This book did not offer any sense of closure and instead cut off in a way that felt sudden and unfinished, almost as though the story simply stopped rather than concluded.
I appreciate the opportunity to read this early, but ultimately the writing, character dynamics, and lack of resolution kept this from working for me.

4.5/5 or 8.71/10. I'm trying tu support debut authors and indie authors more. This book was great!
Characters-9
I enjoyed the characters in this. We have both Claire and Clover's pov, and I thought that that was the best way to tell this story. Both characters were different which I enjoyed, and I enjoyed both of their journeys in this book. The side characters were great and added to the story.
Atmosphere-8.5
I liked the atmosphere in this. I wish this story was longer so I could see more of the undersea area. While I liked what we saw, I wish we could have had more which I'm hoping we get in other books. The contemporary setting was great.
Writing-9
I enjoyed the writing style of Claire's Kidnapping. I thought the writing style was easy to read, and kept me engaged while reading. I liked the lighter scenes, and learning about the character's through heavier scenes.
Plot-8.5
I liked the story. I wish he had more time to develop the story, but I believe we'll get more in future books. I enjoyed how Claire and Cove had different stories, and in some ways they were connecting. I wish we had gotten some sort of explanation as to why Clove was able to see Claire so clearly. I'm hoping we get answers in future books.
Enjoyment 8.5
This was fun. I enjoyed the characters and I can't wait for more.

🌹ARC Reader🌹
Without giving too much away, I would highly recommend reading this book!
The story itself is told from two different POV's, Claire and Clove. Clove is reliving stuff from Claire's experiences of being kidnapped decades later. Confused by all she is seeing, she decided to tell one person.. her brother's best friend and her long time crush. I don't want to give anything away, but seriously, read this book!
The story itself is absolutely fantastic and I look forward to seeing where the story will go next! It is a nice kind of cozy yet mysterious fantasy book about the mer world. As far as the mystery side of it, I could not predict what I though would come next. If I didn't have a chaotic toddler at home, I probably would have read this entire book in a single sitting because I was so invested in seeing what came next.
TLDR: I highly recommend checking it out when it is release!!
A big thank you to Siri for letting have the honors of being a part of your ARC team. I truly appreciate it and cannot wait to see where book two takes us!

Thank you Siri Hutton for the ARC of Claire's Kidnapping.
This story follows 2 characters Claire who is kidnapped (obviously) and Clove who is having flashbacks to Claire's experience in a more modern time. We see the first hand experiences of Claire through her eyes and through Clove we see some of the things that Claire is either not seeing or ignoring. Claire experiences a whole new world when she encounters mers and we see through her eyes the seemingly marvellous world they inhabit but things aren't always what they seem. The book ends on a cliff-hanger leaving you wanting to know what's going to happen next.
This was a well written, well paced book and a superb first book from an indie author I stumbled across. I was so glad to be part of the ARC team and that I've finally finished this immense story. It's one of my standouts for 2025 and I cannot wait to read the next part of Claire and Clove's journeys!

🚨 ARC REVIEW 🚨
Claire’s Kidnapping is about 2 girls in different decades, where one is kidnapped and brought to this underwater world that’s full of magic and secrets. Decades after, Clove is having vivid flashbacks of what Clair experienced, and confides in her brothers best friend (and also her crush) about the experiences she’s having. The building of these two contrasting worlds and stories is done with such beautiful prose, and honestly I love the descriptions used, the description of the Trident and the talk of the flowers on the ceiling, as well as having this internal struggle Clove has of all ther secrets….but I’ve said enough please pick this up when it is available, out 11/8/2025
Thank you SO MUCH @author.siri.hutton for giving me the opportunity to read your novel and immerse myself in this little world.

In 3 Words: Unique, Mysterious, Potential
Fave Quote: Clove and Claire's eyes widened at the genius nail polish crab invention
This book flips between Claire's story in the past, and Clove's story in the present as she relives Claire's experiences. It is heavily implied that Clove is a reincarnation of Claire, which I felt creates quite a unique plot. I also enjoyed exploring the mermaid civilisation as Coralia shows Claire their way of life. There were many fun elements, from shopping streets buried in tunnels under the sand to doors unlocked by different nail polish colours. However, I felt more invested in Clove's storyline as she navigates a not-so-secret crush on her brother's best friend, and seeks to understand her visions of another life.

Claire’s Kidnapping is a sweet, light YA fantasy that feels especially suited for younger teens. The premise is charming — dual timelines, mermaids, and a splash of mystery — and the short length makes it a quick read. While the writing and world-building felt a bit immature for me, the story has a cute innocence to it, with soft romance, teen emotions, and heartfelt moments. Clove, in the present who experiences Claire’s life through flashbacks, gives the book a dreamy, almost eerie feel.The romance feels very innocent, which could be exactly what some younger readers relate to, a shy crush. It's a great pick for tweens or readers looking for a gentle, cute fantasy.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

ARC Read:
This was such a fun cozy read. It is great for young readers or older readers who need a quick, fun read.
The story follows Claire who is kidnapped and finds herself in a magical world under water full of merfolk and mysteries. Decades later, a young girl named Clove is having visions of Claire. Unsure of what to do, Clove confides in her older brother's best friend for help.
The twist and turns of this book had me reading "just one more chapter" each night. It was such a fun read and look forward to having my questions answered in book 2, hopefully! What happens with Mr. Abs?!?

This book surprised me. It starts off feeling a bit like a thriller and then jumps into a magical mere world, switching between 2 POVS —Clove and Claire. The story is full of mysteries and suspense without feeling overly intense, more cozy and cute with the fantastical magic of the mermaids interlaced with Clove’s pining for her brother’s best friend. I think the author did especially good job capturing her teenage protagonists. It’s a pet peeve of mine when writer’s makes their teenage main characters act like they’re 30 🙃 Super fun and quick read, and what a cliff hanger! Can’t wait for book 2!

This debut young adult novel is the first in a series. Claire is kidnapped by the merpeople. Where she is learning all about a new underwater world then we meet Clover who seems to have a psychological connection to Claire. This book is a fantastic read for young adults and anyone else who enjoys this type of book. This book establishes the foundation for the future books of the series. It leaves you wondering how this is all connected and what happens next. This is an excellent read, and I am looking forward to book two.

I just finished Claire’s Kidnapping by Siri Hutton it was a unique take on mermaids and portal fantasy! 🧜♀️ Thank you for the arc!
Two girls, separated by time but bound by something mysterious, kept me guessing until the very end. I have some theories but book two should be able to give more insight. It’s a quick read and a lot happens in a short time and I’m trying to put the pieces together.
Is Claire’s undersea world as magical as it seems? And are Clove’s visions memories… or something much closer to home? ✨
I need book two asap to answer all my questions 😂
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
