Lost Voices Trilogy: Book One
Summary:
Fourteen-year-old Luce has had a tough life, but she reaches the depths of despair when she is assaulted and left on the cliffs outside of her grim, gray Alaskan fishing village. She expects to die when she tumbles into the icy waves below, but instead undergoes an astonishing transformation and becomes a mermaid.
A tribe of mermaids finds Luce and welcomes her in--all of them, like her, lost girls who surrendered their humanity in the darkest moments of their lives. Luce is thrilled with her new life until she discovers the catch: the mermaids feel an uncontrollable desire to drown seafarers, using their enchanted voices to lure ships into the rocks.
Luce's own remarkable singing talent makes her important to the tribe--she may even have a shot at becoming their queen. However, her struggle to retain her humanity puts her at odds with her new friends. Will Luce be pressured into committing mass murder?
My Thoughts:
This book was really good. I really loved it.
Luce is someone I can totally relate to in the way that she's a really shy person and people make fun of her for not wanting to talk.
But her uncle wanted to marry her mother. When he is bringing her home after getting some drinks, he mistakes her for her mother, who is dead.
Catarina seems to be really nice to her, although she also is jealous of Luce's voice. Her disappearance at the end was confusing, but the next book might clear that up. Also, near the end, the other mermaids all seem to hate her.
My Rating: 4 stars
