A dapper vampire. A sullen merman. Two heirs to a great conflict—and each needs to claim a beloved to become his kindred’s champion.

High school senior Ember Goodwin never had a sister, but after her mom’s remarriage, she now has two. The eldest is no stranger to her—Ivy is a witty girl in her grade who’s almost never spoken to the shy bookworm before—but she’s surprised to find the popular girl quite amiable. Their burgeoning friendship is tested, however, when Dean Horne, a pale, besuited charmer, shows interest in them both and plans to reveal his appetite for blood to the one who’ll stand by his side.

Seventeen-year-old Ivy Sheppard is tired of splitting her time between her dad’s and her mom’s, particularly when her dad uproots their lives to move them in with his new wife and step-daughter. Used to rolling with her parents’ whims, she tries to make the best of it and befriend her nerdy new step-sister. Her hectic life grows more unwieldy when she catches the eye of junior Calder Poole, whom she swears she sees swap well-toned legs for a pair of fins during a dip in a lake. Now she’s fending off suitors left and right, all while trying to get to the bottom of the strange happenings in her town.


The first book in the Blood, Bloom, & Water series sets family against family and friend against friend as an epic, ancient war comes to a head in a supposedly sleepy suburb.

REVIEW:

First, let me start by saying; I read this book in 6 Hours!!! yes just 6 hours, and here's why........
This book is Fast paced.  If your ready for an easy read that is fun, has magic, a small battle, and alot of surprises, this is the book for you!!. 

Character talk.......
I love Ivy and Ember, and they way they change throughout this story. You will be annoyed, you will laugh, you will cuss at Ember (especially with the driving situation...) you will gasp, and you will thoroughly attach yourself to one or the other.  Or maybe you have traits of both.  Whatever your story, you will fall into this fun ride with excitement. 
Now, for my favorite character, we meet Orin.......... three words to describe him, Sexy Bad Boy..... That is all..... I suggest you read this book to meet him, because I pray he has a much bigger role in upcoming books.

Overall story........
This story, to be honest, is a bit cheesy in certain parts....WAIT!!!! don't discount it yet.  I say cheesy because of the Fangs, that we all know is Vampires..... I am soooo tired of vampires and meet a girl, fall in love, happy happy happy..... BUT THIS IS NOT THAT!!!!! Yes, there is some (small amount) of cheesy vampire shit, but Amy is amazing at creating her own type of vampire.... These vampires are not sparkly, they are not nice (per-say), and sunlight does not make them burst into flames.... That is all I will say.  Make sure you read this to see the not so cheesy version of vampires :) 
Remember I said Fast Paced- this story is.  There is an epic battle between Vamps, and Merpeople.  One needs to kill the other (for a reason im not really all that clear on..) There are secrets, magic, fighting, and lies, and tricks, and Orin....... I know, but hes my FAV!!!!!


Final words:  This book was alot of Fun with twist and turns I did not see coming.  If you want a fun fast read to start off your summer reading,  Fangs and Fins is for YOU!!!!! 

Rating:

4/5 PAWS!!!!

Below are my reactions to this book as I was reading it........ Beware!!!!!! some may be spoilerish.......

"Ok, so Ember is already annoying me and I'd most likely smack her if I was Ivy.  Pay attention, deepr breath, drive like you know how......"

"So, this is interesting, I'm intrigued"

"What the Hell just happened??!!!!!"

"I need to know what is going on NOW!!!"

"What the HELL!!!!!"

"ok, now were getting somewhere..... come on "pretty boy" tell me your secrets."  

"No the hell she won't!!!!"

"WOW....... I did not expect that."

"Oh YES....... Orin.... you devil Fae you.... "
