Goddess of the Sea

Title: Goddess of the Sea
Author: P.C. Cast
Series: Goddess Summoning (Book 1)
Genre: Paranormal Romance


Christine Canady (CC) has an okay life. She isn't overly attractive, nor ugly. She is a Sargent for the US Air Force, but lives alone. Her parents have forgotten her birthday as has her best friend. To top it all off she's about to be deployed to Saudi Arabia and has to take several planes. She hates to fly.

Her life dramatically changes when the cargo plane she is traveling on crash lands in the Mediterranean Ocean. There she meets a Mermaid and is kind of tricked into changes bodies and lives with her.

CC now finds her self being called Princess Undine. She is the daughter of Gaea, Goddess of Earth and Lir (think Poseidon), God of the Sea. Her half brother is lusting over her and tries to rape her. When Gaea finds this out she decides to send Undine/CC to live temporarily on land. CC must return to the sea every 3 days to turn into a mermaid else she will die. If she finds true love on land, she will be able to petition her father for the ability to keep her legs and live on land with her true love.

The only flaw to this plan is that she falls in love with a handsome merman, Dylan. Although it isn't as easy as that with her half brother constantly interfering.

This was a bit Little Mermaid meets Splash in my opinion but I loved every minute of it. I picked it up because it is by the same (well one of the same) authors as the House of Night series. There were several times when I just sat there reading with my jaw dropped. It was not short on action or surprising me. I cannot wait to pick up Goddess of the Spring, the next in the series. Simply Fantastic!
