She was living every girl's dream — until her life was turned upside down. All starting with finding out that she's not just a human, but also a water spirit. Half-human, half-sprite to be exact. Although not just any sprite, Annabelle is prophesied to be the only one who can save both the sprites and mankind.
With a mix of current events, anecdotes from Greek mythology, tidbits of folklore, and Leigh's own imagination, we join Annabelle in her journey to restore order beneath the sea. Each step of the way her mind, body, and soul are pushed to the limit begging the question, how much can one half-human, half-sprite take?

Annabelle Wash is your typical teenage girl. She's a senior in high school, the star of the swim team, and she has a dreamy hot boyfriend. One night after returning home from a swim meet, Annabelle's life is forever changed when she finds herself face-to-face with a whole world she only thought existed in fairy tales. Forced to face the fact that nothing and nobody are what they seem, Annabelle begins a journey that not only changes her life, but affects the life of a whole race that she never knew existed. Finding herself in the company of the most beautiful boy she's ever seen, Annabelle must choose to trust him, or risk losing everything, possibly even her life.
This is a really fun story, filled with fantasy, folklore, some Greek mythology, and a little romance. Annabelle was very likable and entertaining. Adrian, the love interest, was also really fun to get to know. There is a bit of a love triangle as Annabelle finds herself torn between the boy she is with and the boy she left behind. There are also several secondary characters that are both imaginative and entertaining. Leigh Michael has created a world under the sea that includes creatures, myths, and places, from both legend and her own imagination that is unique and enjoyable. The romance is sweet, there is adventure, some danger, and some mystery as well. I found this book to be a cute and entertaining read and feel that it would be something that would appeal to tweens and teens, especially if you like mermaids, mythology, and romance.
