Happy release day to author Amy Richie, and to celebrate lets kick off with a review!
5 out of 5 Stars
Sapphire City by Amy Richie
Stella and her Mom moved to a small town
called Nortica. It’s a strange ghostlike town with barely any people, and those
that Stella did meet she believed to have saltwater sickness that made them crazy.
Her mom leaves her alone one day to attend
to some business, that’s when all the really strange things starts happening.
With a promise never to go to near the sea Stella wants to do just that now
that her mom isn’t there to see. But the two kids next door keeps Stella away
and is acting all weird.
Waking up in the middle of the night Stella
sees a light at the pier and believes is to be her mom whom still haven’t
returned home. But what she found was a light in the see and this light also
dragged her into the sea. Rescued by the two strange kids Stella returns home
and wakes up to another problem. Kidnapped by a strange boy she discovers the
world of merfolk and that she was about to become part of it, in a bad kind of
way.
Will Stella find and save her mother from
the evil princess? Or will she find that with the truth her world will never be
the same?
Stella was a great character with a
stunning sense of humor. She starts off quirky and just not getting into this
world under the sea, to brave and strong to except her fate. Draven’s character
was the perfect hero. From the moment they meet his duty as her protector is
taken really seriously. With his kind and protecting nature he was the perfect
match for feisty Stella.
This was such a great and fresh read. This
novel is a perfect introduction to a new world of paranormal. For a chance
there is no vampire or werewolf in sight, instead we have mermaids and their
world. I loved the plot of this novel. The twist that happens near the end was
quite unexpected and I can’t wait to see what Stella will have to face in her
new world. Excellent read that I would highly recommend it to all.
