Hearken

by Ms Kristen Day

Wow Kristen Day has done it again with the fourth book of the Daughters of the Sea Series. In Hearken we see Stasia having bad nightmares and ending up on the beach and they are getting worse.

As a Sea Goddess she has to choose her council. One being Olivia, who none of the council really like her . Olivia is keeping a secret from Stasia though, she is a Paladin and she is there to protect Stasia, not being an annoying hang on that Stasia thinks.

Tragedy strikes in an unexpected accident where we lose a strong character and I think anyone reading will feel the loss, especially if they have followed the series.

Stasia and the council travel to Atlantis for the games that are about to happen. Stasia is having more dreams but now she seems to be turning evil with it. What is happening to her?

Finn is still as lovely as ever and his love for Stasia is every increasing but he has to find out who has stolen the relics that could pose disaster. What will he do when he finds out who stole them?

I loved this book as not only was it about Finn and Stasia but it was told by three different people, the third being Olivia, and I really started to like her. I was telling her to give Sebastian (a new character, from Atlantis and hot) a chance, it could all work out but she seemed to lower her heart walls only to take to steps back and build those walls again.

There is a lot going on in this book, action, love,deception, and giant butterflies!

Very well written as always and I was left wanting more of Stasia, Finn and the group.
