The Star and the Ocean

by Maggie Derrick

When May Alana's wish on a star brings a stranger to her remote island home, the pair must survive a deadly magical conflict in order to be together.

When May Alana, a scorned and anxiety-ridden young woman, finds a stranger on the beach of her remote island home, she wonders if this is the adventurous, accepting, and loving answer to her otherwise cloistered life. But as the pair grow closer, the stranger entrusts May with her brilliant secret: that she is half-Star in possession of otherworldly powers, and that a violent group of Star worshippers are out to destroy her. So if they want any chance of being together, they'll have to survive a deadly conflict between humans and mythological creatures first.

[R.R. Campbell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an exceptional, delightful tale brimming with mystery and imagination. Em and May are beyond adorable, and the richness of the world they inhabit and lore of which they are a part is absolutely enthralling. A must read.

I liked this, I really did and I'm so glad it's a series because I get to go back to Me and May and their world.

I loved this book! I have yet to read the second one but I assure you that the first had me wishing I had a hard copy! I was in love with the relationship dynamic of all of the characters and I loved it all. I fell deeply in love with every character.
