Evermore (Mer Tales) (Volume 4)

WoW!!! This is one of my absolute favorite series, and this book did not disappoint. Brenda sent me on an emotional roller coaster, and I loved every minute of it. The emotion in her writing is so raw, and real, and the character development is amazing. You would think after what they went through in the first 3 books, this one would have been calmer, but the action was a mile a minute. I love this world, these characters, and certainly hope that this is not the last we see of them. If you read the previous ones, you can't miss this book, and if you didn't, go read book one(Everblue), you'll thank me!!!

I absolutely love this series and was so excited when this forth book was released. Fin and Ash are finally going to get to have their day. They are going to get married. Fin and Ash return to Tahoe to see Ash’s family and explain where they have been and for Fin to ask for permission to marry Ash. Things don’t go as planned. Fin’s automatic reaction is to sing everything they way they want it. Ash wants her parents to be happy for her for real not because Fin told them to. Instead of the wedding bringing everyone together is seems to pushing people apart; even Fin and Ash at times. Will they be able to make it work? Is Natatoria finally going to get to live in peace or power hungry forces just working in the shadows waiting for the time to strike. Fin and Ash have been through so much during the series will they finally get their happily ever after or should they still be looking over their shoulders watching their back. Ash is so excited to see her family again and for Fin to ask for permission to marry her. Things get so messed up when they come back. Ash is beginning to see that being part Mer makes being part human extremely hard. How is she supposed to explain what they are doing and or where they have been? She doesn’t want Fin to fix everything by singing but at the same time sometimes it’s the only way. Ash wants to finish out the few weeks of high school she has left but realizes that in the end it isn’t really going to matter for her. I felt so bad for Ash through most of the book. Fin’s uncle Alistar stole Ash’s future and now even though she is madly in love with Fin and would want to be a Mer she still didn’t make the choice herself. Nothing is happening the way she thought it would and is forced to deal with all the fall out and has to make all the tough decisions. Fin just wants Ash to be happy; he will do whatever he needs to for that to happen. I love this series and would love to read more about the characters. Great job Brenda.
I was given this book in return for an honest review.

Unpredictable, funny, dark and sad. I feel this last book in this series has a little bit of everything. I even found some of dialogue of the background characters made me laugh out loud over lunch. Brenda Pandos, has done a fantastic job of writing this series.
