I had this book on my kindle for quite a while and decided to finally read it after attending the Fierce Reads tour at BookCon last week. Anna Banks was so funny and witty and she did not disappoint me with this book.

I am a huge fan of snappy dialog and there was plenty in Of Poseidon. I liked how Banks intertwined sea specific terms into the conversations, and made the Syrenas awkwardly attempt human slang. The story moved along at a good pace and I thought the way we were fed the bits and pieces of the bigger story was quite appropriate. The ending was a great way to make me get that next book. We find out something really pivotal, which effects so many characters, but that's it!!!

Our heroine,Emma, is sassy with a temper that apparently goes with the territory. As with many romances, Galen, our hero, gives us many swoony moments. He over-protective mode and alpha tendencies made me grin. Love him! I also developed a fondness for the secondary characters (Rayna, Rachel, Toraf). They were quirky and I liked the way they interacted with the hero and heroine.

Overall impression - lot of fun, cool lore, not too heavy, great read. Can't wait to find out what happens next.
