I absolutely loved this book! Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVW4_SFGOOg ( )

If you were to mix magic, sci-fi, fantasy, mermaids, romance, and a bit of adventure, you'd get Luminous. The mermaids were fun to read about- graceful, near perfect creatures, who value life and harmony above all else, travel to our world to help when we're faced with trouble. This book reminded me a bit of Stargate: Atlantas, with the other-world portals, alien beings, and the powerful enemy they are made to face.

Ilauria is quite a character. Rebellious against a group of leaders she feels are wrong, she sets out on an adventure to save a world she loves, and rescue her missing sisters. Paired with some quirky companions, she faces dangerous creatures who threaten not only Earth, but the rest of life as well.

This was an interesting story to jump into. Starting out with emotion and vivid descriptions, the story kept up a good pace of adventure and intrigue throughout the book. The writing was eloquent and smart, and very well suited to sci-fi fans. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventures, sci-fi, or any of the shows on the sci-fi channel.

*I was given an eCopy of this book, from the author via Read Between The Lines Tours, to read in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Dedication
For my parents who taught me that dreams are worth fighting for.

First words
She knew that life and death were a part of existence on Earth but she’d never faced her own death—until now.

Quotations
-“The perfect mixture of human and animal, she looked like nature incarnate, peaceful but wild.”

-“Unbelievable,” Gavin said. “There’s a whole legion of magical beings living on Earth and only Aquarians know about them.”
“We come in peace,” Ilauria said, surprised at her attempt at levity.
A wide grin replaced his serious expression. “Lucky for us.”

-"Adante rolled her eyes. She wished human males were mythical. That’d be a nice reality to wake up to."

-Gavin to Adante: “So you’re proof that sea monsters really do exist?”

-Arman: "I’ve always followed my heart, Ilauria, knowing it would one day lead me back to you.”

-"Gavin thought of Adante and how she was like a blue flame, so mesmerizing, so beautiful and as much as he wanted to touch her, he knew it would only hurt them both in the end."
