Goddess of the Sea (Goddess Summoning Series #1)

P.C.'s Touch

I am a fan of Cast's "House of Night," so I thought I would delve into her adult series as well. While the story was entertaining enough, I found the characters and certain elements of the story strikingly similar to the aforementioned teen series. This was a little disappointing, but the book was still a delightful magical romance and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.

If you liked this book, you might also enjoy the "Sons of Destiny" series by Jean Johnson, as the magical feel of the stories are quite similar. Be sure to start with "The Sword."

PC Cast does it again

I've read of of PC & Kristen's House of Night series, and decided to read PC's Goddess Summoning series. What I love best about PC Cast is she writes these fantastically powerful and strong women. She makes you invested in the characters and the story, she's makes you laugh with them and cry with them. Goddess of the Sea is a modern mermaid tale. Here an Air Force communications officer, named CC has her soul transfered with the soul of a mermaid, the daughter of Gaia and Poseidon. There she must find a man to love her for who she is. It's sexy, romantic, thought provoking, beautiful and really a fantastic story.

Very Good!

I just finished this book and I enjoyed it a lot! Going into it, I thought that it would be a silly novel that's main thrill was sex, but after getting less than half way through it I knew it wasn't. This book was very good and touching. It made me cry! I recommend this book to anyone!

Not the Best P.C. Cast by far!

I've read the Divine Series and the House of Night Series and I assumed this would be along the same lines of writing, but it's not. The plot isn't as interesting or detailed as her other series. It's still a good book, just not my favorite by P.C. Cast.

SIGH....

If you've fallen in love with a broding vampire come to the enchanted side that PC Cast creates! Here you'll meet merman Dylan and, I hope as I do, want to become a mermaid as CC did and find such love! PC's writing isn't Pulitizer but, man it'll sweep you away into a lavish and exciting other world that I'm not sure if I'd ever come back from as some characters do. If you take some time to read this book about CC & Dylan and love her writing style as much as I do, venture a try to love a Centaur in Divine (or Goddess) by Mistake or if you're still wanting a vampire try her collaboration with her daughter Kristen and give the House of Night series a go - Erik, now there's a vamp I'd like to sink 'my' teeth into! I'm off to read some of her other goddess novels. - thanx as always.

Enjoyed this book!!!

I wasn't sure at first, but I ended up really getting into this book. It was an interesting story, that I felt was very well written. I enjoy P.C. Cast's books. She is a great author.

enjoyable adult version of Ariel the mermaid

Ironic as it seems Air Force Staff Sergeant Christine ¿CC¿ Canady hates to fly. So her current assignment taking her from Tinker AFB, Oklahoma on a ninety-day tour in Riyadh is not one she looks forward too. However, her fears prove accurate this time as the plane crashes into the water. Instead of drowning, Undine a mermaid saves her life. When they kiss, they switch places.

Undine¿s brother Sarpedon tries to rape her, but CC escapes. She meets another merman Dylan who is kind to her. Soon Undine¿s mother Gaia helps CC by allowing her to become human, but every three days she must return to the sea until she finds true love. Sir Andras saves Undine from the sea and takes her to Calder Monastery on Calder Island where Abbot William looks suspiciously upon her amnesia claim and her insistence she is a princess. Andras tries to court her, but turns nasty and dangerous as Sarpedon takes control of his body. CC soon realizes that she loves Dylan and he reciprocates the feeling, but fears what Sarpedon will do to her beloved.

GODDESS OF THE SEA is a solid retelling of Undine¿s tale that readers of adult fairy tale romances will appreciate. The story line is loaded with action on land and at sea. CC as a human soldier or as a mermaid is a strong character; the audience will cherish her, as she serves as the center of this enjoyable adult version of Ariel the mermaid.

This book was AMAZING!. I loved mythology itself and her stories

This book was AMAZING!. I loved mythology itself and her stories blend so well with it. I actually cried. I plan on reading all of the Goddess Summoning books. Thanks P.C. Cast!!!

Wtf

This sounds horrible

A really fun and fast read...highly recommended.

I love PC Cast books and in this series she takes you into another realm of fastasy.

Pretty Good Story

I was skeptical at first, however like most of PC Cast's series I was immediately drawn in to the character and plot. The bit did tend to drag out a bit towards the end, but I'm assuming this is due to her experimenting with how this series would be with fans.

I <3 PC Cast

This has got to be the one of the best books I have ever read. Trust me I read a lot of books and Ms.Cast has been surprising me with her books of fantasy and romance. I cant express how much Ive become such a fan of PCs works of art.

Awesome

I simply LOVE P.C.Cast. She knows how to bring you into the book.

Wow

I love this book....and my nook....its one of the better romance books ive read...:)

Don't like her vampires, but this is something else....

I loved this book. It was a wonderful blend of romance and magic. I love the way Ms Cast describes the rich underwater scenery. She has a way of making you believe her story could happen. Goddess of the Sea has a very engaging heroine as well as very well developed villains! The heroine is capable, intelligent and witty. Ms. Cast's writing style is very appealing to those of us with a particular bent to sarcastic humor! The story has elements of romance, adventure, and conflict and accurately portrays the difficulty of making life-altering decisions. She lovingly adds a bit of pagan belief structure to her book to get the reader to understand that all women are beautiful, special and create their own wonderful magic. She speaks eloquently of the differences in us all that make us truly unique, and that we should embrace those differences. From the first page to the last, Ms. Cast keeps you spellbound and turning the page, eager to discover what happens next.

MUST READ!!!!

This book is simply amazing!!!! This grown up version of The Little Mermaid (not that I needed one...cause I LOVE Ariel) had me at first chapter. I started reading it and literally didn't put it down until I was finished. The next day I started the second book in the series and it was just as good. I highly recommend this book and the rest of the series :)

$12.99! I love greek myths but this seems bad

Its not that bad!

first off, idk y its so overpriced. i bought this ebook on my first nook 3G for about $7.00 last year. yes, it was a bit rushed here and there but the i had the chance to fall in love with her characcters! her usual head strong, independent, strong eilled ect. female lead just shows her female pride and how we can voive our own opinions and are not inferior to men. it wasnt a waste of time or money for me. but if u really want an amazing book by her, thn Divine By Mistake is it! u will not regret reading tht one but stop after the first book. her sequels arent to great but the first in the series is a must read!

Bad, bad, bad

This was a "did not finish". I rather wish it was a "did not start". Don't waste your money. The book in inconsistent, immaturely written, the main character is ridiculous, and the setting? Don't get me started... I love romance, paranormal, and fantasy, and have a huge respect for so many authors (Nalini Singh and Marjorie M. Liu to name two... Read their books!!!) But I will definitely NOT be looking for any more PC Cast books to read, if this book is an example of her writing. I wish I didn't have the digital version so I could sell it to a used bookstore and get some in-store credit for it. That is more than what I've got now... Down the cost of the book (WAY overpriced) and a MAJOR disappointment.

I loved it!

This is my favorite book of all time.
