The major difficulty I did have with this book had to do with the something these characters were trying to figure out. For some reason, I still get sucked into these types of plots. I’ve learned to expect these things in these tri-book paranormal romances, and they didn't really bother me so much in this story. There is a new mystery boy at school who happens to be wealthy as well as gorgeous. The heroine becomes isolated from her family and peers, opening her up to more time spent with the supernatural beings. Of Poseidon does utilize several typical YA paranormal plot devices. With a lot more world to discover, this was definitely written as the first in a series. I enjoyed what I learned about the culture of the Syrena, but I hope that we get to spend more time “under the sea” in the next book. The fights that they all get into was one of my other favorite things about the book. Loved Rayna, Toraf and Rachel, especially. The supporting characters were equally great. I also like that Emma is feisty and that Galen likes that about her. Actually, watching them discover different things about each other’s worlds was one of my favorite parts of the story. I found myself laughing at Emma’s humor and Galen’s difficulty navigating human culture. Usually I think that it is strange to do this within one story, but I like how each perspective enhanced Emma or Galen’s voice. Of Poseidon is told in the alternating perspectives of Emma and Galen, and it switches between first and third person respectively. I really enjoyed this book, even beyond the fact that it fed my childhood obsession to all things mer. Galen would not be happy to hear himself referred to as a merman. Mermen! Mermaids! Or actually it’s Syrena in Of Poseidon. Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. When she runs into Galen - literally, ouch! - both teens sense a connection. Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish.
