THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE QUEEN

Nerissa Marin hides among teens in her human form, waiting for the day she can claim her birthright — the undersea kingdom stolen from her the day her father was murdered. Blending in is her best weapon — until her father's betrayer confronts Nerissa and challenges her to a battle to the death on Nerissa's upcoming birthday — the day she comes of age.

Amid danger and the heartbreak of her missing mother, falling for a human boy is the last thing Nerissa should do. But Lo Seavon breaches her defenses and somehow becomes the only person she can count on to help her desperate search for her mother, a prisoner of Nerissa's mortal enemy. Is Lo the linchpin that might win Nerissa back her crown? Or will this mortal boy become the weakness that destroys her?

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

8/10

Waterfell is the first book in The Aquarathi Series and I really enjoyed reading this book and getting to know all the different characters. All the characters were really well written and had layers to them to make them more complicated as well as to add to the different relationships. I look forward to seeing what happens next in Oceanborn (The Aquarathi Book #2).
