Cora Reed is haunted by the night her twin sister drowned. Seven years later, she’s still afraid of the water, and can barely keep herself from falling apart completely. The last thing that Cora wanted was to fall in love. But she couldn’t have prepared herself for Darrien Locke, the handsome swim instructor at Camp Crystal.
Unbeknownst to Cora, they are already connected in unimaginable ways. Mysterious things begin to happen to her, plunging her into a whirlwind of danger and chaos. Only one thing remains steady…Darrien. But he’s not at all what he seems.
Darrien must help Cora discover who she really is, before a terrible power in the deep reaches her. To do that, Darrien must commit the ultimate betrayal.
In a stunning reimagining of mermaid lore, Water is the perfect combination of suspense, mystery, humor, and romance. Its gripping tale of love and danger, combined with a terrifically detailed world below the waves, will have readers breathless and begging for more.


I saw this book on my kindle and decided to jump on in and give it a read. 
We are introduced to both Cora and Darrien, among others but these two are main characters.  Darrien is a merman and works for the King when he gets told he has to do a job he isn't too thrilled but he has to do what he is told right. In comes Cora you think she is a normal teen well as normal as can be, yet as the story unfolds we learn more about Cora and what she is exactly. 
Darrien will have his work cut out for him as he is not supposed to fall in love yet it seems that slowly but surely that is what happens. Is he able to do both jobs at once? Keeping Cora safe and show her who she is while leaving his heart to stay in his chest?
Cora was a good character but I sadly just at times wanted to slap her around. She starts wondering who is the lady in waterfall and yet never wants to start asking questions to Pearl or someone else? I mean come on I think I would want to start asking questions if things are turning weird at a camp that I am totally new at. 
The author did a good job of combining the two worlds and giving us a bit of how the Merworld came to be. That was actually pretty neat. Though there were a lot of grammar mistakes that needed to be fixed within the pages of the story.
