Genre: paranormal YA

Blurb:

A young-adult paranormal novel about selkies, tasers, kissing and secrets.

To Cassandra Kelleher, trust is a dirty word.

A teenage selkie who grew up on land, all she wants is to free her family from the man who stole their sealskins long ago. With her twin brother Brennan losing hope and her window of opportunity disappearing like the beach at high tide, she’ll try anything.

Before long, however, Cassandra can’t tell whether her biggest threat is the man holding her family captive, a classmate who’s discovered her secret, or her own paranoia. Battling broken friendships and alarming romantic entanglements, Cassandra finds that trust could be the key to winning her family’s freedom … or losing her own.



EXCERPT

From Chapter 3, in which Cassandra’s biggest fear is realized: someone’s discovered their secret.

“So we can go?” I said.
Leisel tapped at her phone.
“Actually, I wanted to show you something.” She passed the phone gingerly to me. The screen showed a patch of nighttime forest, opening onto a riverbank. “I was recording this for a science project.”
“About what?” And why was she showing us? I handed the phone to Brennan.
“I’m measuring the ambient light against noise throughout the month. It could help determine whether darkness is beneficial for recovering waterfront habitats, and—”
“Cass.” My brother’s voice held a jolt of alarm. He’d paused the video, and onscreen was …
Me. Standing on the silvery river bank. Wrapped in something that wasn’t a towel. My brain tumbled to a halt.
“When did you take this?” Brennan asked.
Leisel nodded solemnly, as if answering his real question.
“Saturday night.”
Oh. Oh, no. No, no, no. Blood rushed from my head. This wasn’t happening. This odd frizzy-haired yearbook girl with the crazy eyebrows was not holding video proof of Brennan and me changing.
We sat there in silence, the wall clock ticking audibly, the air so thick I couldn’t breathe. I stared at the screen. At that angle, it caught a wide expanse of river and bank. I was off to the left but clearly visible. It would have captured everything.
Finally Brennan rubbed his face. “Damn.”
“That’s helpful,” I snapped.
Brennan raised his hands palms-up.
“And you want me to do what, exactly?”
In response, I grabbed the cell phone and threw it to the linoleum. Leaping up, I slammed my boot down on the screen. It cracked, and Leisel shrieked. I stepped on the phone again, with a satisfying crunch.




REVIEW:

I absolutely love books about myths. Selkies being one of my favorite topics. I love this book, but I really wish for more!!

When a human takes a selkie's seal skin, they have control over that selkie. Unfortunately, that is what happened to Cassandra and Brennan's family.

This book is written from Cassandra's POV, so we not only get to see how her mind works but also experience her crazy paranoia  She is extremely cautious when it comes to trusting people outside her family. Who can blame her, the mayor is the one that stole their skins.When a deal is made with the devil to get their skins back, they decide they must rescue their family's as well.

"The truth, of course, was that we'd never be happy knowing Declan and our parents were stuck on land, eternal slaves."

They have a plan, but they never thought anyone would find out about them. Love, friendships, and family can all stand in the way. Who can they trust? Can one of your worst enemies be you biggest alliance?
When everyone else gives up Cassandra will be there to persevere!

"You're right, Brennan. I can't control where you go. So go. Find a tribe. I'll catch up with when I've freed our family."
