GODDESS OF THE SEA

So, here it goes, my first, ever, book review (or talk, or something ;) )

GODDESS SUMMONING #1: GODDESS OF THE SEA
On the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, alone in her apartment, Air Force Sergeant Christine Canady wished for one thing: a little magic in her life. After drinking way too much champagne, she performed, of all crazy things, a goddess-summoning ritual, hoping that it would somehow make her life a little less ordinary...but she never believed the spell would actually work.

When her military plane crashes into the ocean, CC's mission overseas takes an unexpected turn. She awakens to find herself in a legendary time and place where magic rules the land—occupying the body of the mythic mermaid Undine. But there is danger in the waters and the goddess Gaea turns this modern, military gal into a beautiful damsel so that she can seek shelter on land.

CC is soon rescued (literally) by a knight in shining armor. She should he falling in love with this dream-come-true, but instead she aches for the sea and Dylan, the sexy merman who has stolen her heart.

Review:
This is not your typical mermaid story, okey there is the call of the sea and the beauty of underwater life, but that's not the main thing in this book.
This book was a rollercoaster of feelings (which I have to say is with all the goddess summoning books). One moment I was totally annoyed at Andras and Abbot William (and Sarpedon), and the next I was totally drooling over Dylan (who is just so swoonworthy) and loving Gaea and CC bonding
CC is a great character, she has her flaws but everyone has those and without them it would become a boring story.
The book begins slow, but when it gets up to speed you don't want to put  it down. This is a book that I didn't want to put down and wanted to read so badly that it was the first thing I did when I got home, woke up or had a spare moment.
These goddess summoing story's are an enchanting mix of mythology, magic, love and strong women.

I give this book 5 Roses, because it has all the elements I love in a story (I'm a little prejudiced with Cast's books, but what the hell, it's really really a great read ;))
