My Review:

After reading Mandy Hubbard's novel, Prom and Prejudice, this year, I found myself looking for myself searching for more of her novels and soon I found myself with Ripple!

This summer I have read a lot of books about sirens, none of them quite like the other. I really enjoyed this one! The mythology in Ripple was really interesting and different compared to other books about sirens.

I also liked the romance in this novel! It was nice to see that Lexi had someone who cared for her!

Overall, I recommend this novel to anyone who wants a summer read and who wants to read about sirens!

My Rating:
Four out of Five Stars
