I am in love with this book! It is such a well written, tight, clean book with a fabulous mythology, wonderful world building, and has a cast of characters I completely fell in love with. Tracy Deebs sucked me right into Tempest Rising.

Tempest herself is a fabulous character that I loved getting to know. She's athletic, down to earth, and is stuck between choosing between two worlds, the human one and the one she's drawn to but knows little about, the Sea. One of the things I loved the most about Tempest was how grounded she was. Though she's secure in her human skin, she fights becoming something she fears, a Mermaid. It wasn't hard to understand why, after all it's what made her mother leave her, her father and younger brothers behind six years ago.

Tempest not only has to pick between staying human or becoming a Mermaid, but she has to learn to control her abilities. She has a power within she knows little about. The fantastic love triangle is a breath of fresh air to me. I felt just as torn as Tempest was between two wonderful guys, Mark and Kia. Being from two totally different worlds puts these two guys at odds. Mark is Tempest's on/off again boyfriend from the last two and half years, and someone she's really close to, and Kia is the swoon worthy guy from the sea who helps her in understanding the world she feels drawn to. I really liked the differences and similarities with the two guys. There's an intense connection and a wonderful chemistry that Tempest has with both of them. I absolutely loved the direction the relationships took.

There are so many elements that I loved about this story. It's richly detailed mythology, the strong family dynamics, the friendships, the beautiful under sea world, as well as the stretch of coast Tempest lives on and of course the awesome romance. It's also a story about choices, heart ache, learning to let go, and following your heart. I want to take just a moment to mention my love for this cover, which matches the story perfectly! Tempest Rising is an amazing debut and one I highly recommend picking up. I am really looking forward to reading more about Tempest, Kia, Mark and the rest of the Tempest Rising characters.

Rating 3.5 stars

Tempest Maguire is a half-mermaid who desperately shuns the sea (except for surfing) as her seventeenth birthday approaches, when she will have to make a decision to either stay on land or seek her kin in the ocean. She already has her mind made up she will not turn mermaid and leave her family (or her on-again, off-again boyfriend) like her mother did when she was a young girl. But the ocean is as strong-willed as Tempest is and it is already changing her and calling to her, especially when she is around the new guy, Kona, who seems more than human and who makes her forget about Mark. Between Kona and the lure of the ocean, Tempest ends up in a whole new underwater world and learns that her mother, the mermaids, and other sea creatures are not always as they seem and have bigger plans in store for her.

In Tracy Deebs' Tempest Rising, Tempest was a teen with a stubborn streak whose two loves were surfing and art, which were both kind of impossible with a tail. Her mom was a mermaid who fell in love with Tempest's surfer dad, but after she had Tempest and her two younger brothers, she went back to the sea, leaving everyone in the dark, but with really only Tempest resenting her. Her mom left her a letter explaining what would happen on her seventeenth birthday and promised to be there with her, but things began happening before her birthday and her mom was nowhere around. As a result of years of resentment, Tempest refused to give herself to the sea despite the longing she sometimes felt because she was determined not to hurt her father and her brothers like her mom did or hurt Mark.

But then Kona showed up and seemed to have the same affinity for water that Tempest did. It also did not help (or did it?) that they were very attracted to each other.

There was a prophecy that seemed to be fulfilled rather abruptly like a balloon filled to bursting with air that suddenly and sadly deflates. I was just surprised that what I thought was the big moment was not as big as I expected it to be. Once Tempest was involved and afterwards as the characters were floundering about, I was left wondering what direction the story was supposed to be going. It turned into a sort of stalemate for Tempest between the land and the sea.

Despite the disappointing climax, I still liked Tempest Rising enough to read the forthcoming sequel, Tempest Unleashed. I enjoyed the scenery on land and underwater as well as Tempest and Kona. Mark was a good guy, but once I started seeing similarities between him and a super annoying guy on my daily soap, I could not take him anymore. I enjoyed the mermaid mythology as well as the other mythology which I will not spoil.

With lots of underwater adventures and steamy scenes, Tempest Rising is a book that all mermaid lovers should try.

Recommended for readers fourteen and up who enjoy mermaid fantasy novels. The steamy scenes consist of nothing but kissing, but if you have a way with words, that can be just enough.

Please note Whatever I rate a book here, please check what the ratings mean on Goodreads, because those are what I go by.
I absolutely fell in love with this book!!!! The story was written beautifully. The plot took so many twists and turns that I had no clue what to expect. I have always loved mermaids so I was very excited about this book. It totally blew me away. The characters were very thought out. I loved all of them, especially Kona...sigh. They are what got me hooked since the beginning.

I loved Tempest as a character. She doesn't understand what is happening to her, and not one person will give her any answers. She is very sarcastic which is hilarious. She loved to surf, but in a way, she hates the ocean. She is so angry, because her mom left them them, and she believes it was the oceans fault. But she took chances. I loved watching her take those chances and grow.

Kona was beyond sexy!!! I absolutely adored him. He did whatever he could to protect Tempest. She was the most important thing to him. I loved him!!!!

I loved the ending of the book!!!! I did cry at the end, because I wanted her not to have to choose between her family and being a mermaid. So when she made her choice, I was happy yet sad. I fell in love with her family. Like her father said, I hope she can end up living half her time on land then half in the ocean.

Tempest Rising was a magical read!!! I have always loved mermaid stories, and the mythology for this story was very unique. I can't wait for Tempest Unleashed!!!! This book was simply AMAZING!!!! This is a must read for everyone.

The cover is so beautiful, especially her tattoo!!!!
