Bay of Sighs by Nora Roberts

Bay of Sighs by Nora Roberts - 337 pages
The Guardians Trilogy #2

The six have found the first of the fallen stars and have even beaten back Nerezza for the moment.  However, Nerezza has a new recruit who is determined to not only get the stars for his queen but to also capture the six for his own amusement and revenge. 

This is the second book of The Guardians Trilogy.  This one focuses on the time traveler Sawyer and the mermaid Annika.  Not only is their romance blooming, but they are also the ones pivotal to finding the second star.   I enjoyed listening to this book on audio.  I do think the accents are starting to blend together a little more than in the first audio.  I'm looking forward to listening to the final book.

Book 2 - The Guardians Trilogy

The six have moved on to Island of Capri to search for the second star.  They beat back Nerezza after finding the first star, but now she has found an ally in Malmon who she slowly changes into something more than human.  It is up to Annika to find the lost star and Sawyer to help beat back Nerezza once again.

This is the second book in the romance trilogy.  It focuses on the mermaid Annika and the space/time traveler Sawyer.  While I enjoyed the book, it was not as engrossing as the first in the series.  Still, I look forward to the final book.

Undead and Underwater by Mary Janice Davidson

Undead and Underwater by Mary Janice Davidson - 352 pages

This is a collection of novellas featuring the world's of Queen Betsy and Fred the Mermaid from Davidson's popular series.  The writing is not the best in this collection and I mainly finished it because of lack of anything else to read in the house.  It's not the worst book ever but not one to seek out.  The title goes along with the titles in the Queen Betsy series so people pick this up expecting a whole book in that world so there is disappointment from the get go.  I haven't read the Fred the Mermaid series so I may have to check that out when I need some fluff to read.

The 13-Story Treehouse by Andy Griffiths

The 13-Story Treehouse by Andy Griffiths - 239 pages

Andy and Terry are writing living in a 13-story treehouse.  This is the book of their adventures one eventful day.
I really didn't care for this book.  It reminds me of Wimpy Kid with the writing and illustrations.  I also thought the premise was bad - they are writers who have to write and story but keep getting interrupted.  They eventually just write / draw what occurred during the day.  It was a very fast read though.  I picked it up to read during lunch and I finished it with a few minutes to spare - so it took less than 30 minutes to read.
