Ash was resilient and sweet- even managing to break through the small shell she surrounded around her life over the course of the novel. In addition, both were adorable and fabulous protagonists. One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was split first person narratives between Ash and Fin, because it allows the reader to get a feel for both sides of the story: the 'human' version and the 'mer' version. However, Ash plans to find out, even if it means putting everything in her life on the line. No one, not even Ash, knows where they've gone and why new people have taken up residency in their house. Everything changes, though, when Tatchi and Fin mysteriously disappear into the night.

For Tatchi, this means hiding the biggest, most powerful secret she has, the secret she's been running from for way too long. For Ash, this means hiding the feelings she feels for Tatchi's twin brother Fin whose unreachable in ways she can't even begin to imagine. However, each has their own secrets to hide from the other for numerous reasons. They share nearly everything with the other, and they even plan to go to college together in the fall. Luckily enough, Everblue turned out to be everything I was expecting and much more!Īsh and Tatiana (Tatchi) have been best friends for the longest of times. Not only because I really enjoyed Brenda's first two books ( The Emerald Talisman and The Sapphire Talisman), but because Everblue had to do with one of my new favorite trends in YA: mermaids. When I first heard about Everblue, the first book in Brenda Pandos' new series, I knew I had to read it. Secrets lurk beneath the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe, secrets that will change Ashlyn's life forever. But when Tatchi fails to return home after a family emergency, and no one knows where the family has gone, Ash chooses to do something drastic to find them.Īshlyn is about to discover what she’d thought to be true her whole life, wasn’t, and the truth, too fantastical to imagine. The girls plan to leave their drab lakeside town far behind for college. Spending time with her best friend Tatiana, dreaming about kissing Tatiana's twin brother Fin, and swimming competitively are her only sanctuary. Seventeen-year-old Ashlyn Frances Lanski is tired of her boring, single life.

Best friends share everything with each other.
