Diary of a Radical Mermaid

I enjoyed this book a great deal. Great, fast read where you didn't have to think about the story. It's not high literature, but it is delightful!

Diary of a Radical Mermaid was a wonderful second installment in the Waterlillies saga. It picked up right where Alice at Heart left off and for me, revisited the magnificent history, colors, tastes, smells and emotions that got me hooked in the first book! Romantic without being over the top, and exciting enough to keep me from putting the book down! I hope Deborah Smith continues this series, and I will be one of the first to pick up the third installment!

I must disagree completely with previous reviewers who liked Alice at Heart but not this book. I liked Alice but could not put this down. It was funny, had some adventure and action, and just enough romance for those that enjoy that part of the story. I hope to see a sequel to this story and anxiously await learning more about Ms. Smith's Mer world and to see if Melasine, the Old One, will finally appear. Until then, I will remain a Floater ( read the book ) and hope for Book Three in the series.

Loved this book and waiting for the next one, I hope! I have even visited the web sight they have for it. What fun! The things fairy tales are made of.

I recently have been turned onto Belle Books and the Waterlilies series and I absolutely LOVE it! Deb Smith has done a wonderful job in this second book with excitment, enchantment and wittiness. The story focuses on Juna Lee, a merfolk who is starting an on-line journal about the life of merfolk. Juna soon becomes involved in an adventure only fit for a mermaid! Diary is an exellent read and fit for anyone who has imagination and heart.
