Marissa just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her and so to clear her mind she heads for her favorite place, Crescent Beach. While there she falls asleep and ends up getting taken out to sea with the rising tide. Thankfully Marissa is rescued by a handsome merman. And not long after, Marissa makes it her life's quest to find him and join him in the ocean to live happily ever after. Well that's just what her mind wants her to think. In all actuality she is suffering a breakdown due to a very hurtful past and too much stress.

This book was absolutely amazing and nothing, I repeat NOTHING at all what I expected. Seriously, I thought that at any moment her merman was gonna pop up and whisk her away. Even at the end of the story I still held out hope. But honestly Undertow was such a wonderful story and so well written. There were times in the story I felt what Marissa was feeling; the author did a fantastic job getting emotions across to her readers. And Kingston did a wonderful job revealing certain secrets periodically throughout the story. I was very pleased with how the story unraveled.

Gosh I can’t stop thinking about this one, really I am blown away by it. I will definitely have to keep this one in my ‘To Be Read Again’ pile. So much happens you will want to go back and ponder on it for a bit. And Undertow is one that I couldn’t wait to get back to when I had to put it down. Trust me though, I read it quickly not leaving much time for it to be set aside.

I will say that anyone who loves contemporary fiction will adore this one. Pick up Undertow today and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
