Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother's death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family's homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter, Lily. Easy enoughespecially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistible good looks and charm on unsuspecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lilyjust as Lily starts to suspect that there's more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.

This was a very different type of paranormal experience that I was expecting for this book. It's a very interesting premise and I will actually like to continue to read the series to see where this story will head.

The characters were very well thought out which is why I'm giving it 3 stars, again, different, but not bad in my opinion. Sometimes books get better by the second one. If you are looking for scary murdering mermaids, look no further lol.
