This was the best book I have EVER read! an amazingly well thought out plot,a heaping amount of suspense,a few dashes of action,and a sprinkel of romance. LOVE IT!

A great start to Kat Falls' writing career. Can't wait for Riptide!

Awesome book - read it. Kat Falls came to my school last year, a few months after it was published. Now she's a lot more popular, but she told us that she would come back this year!

Pretty awsome. Hope library gets the second one.

Ty is the kind of boy character who's recently gone out of style (in my opinion): he's loyal, hardworking, proud and completely unaware of his good looks. YA literature has (or at least I have) had enough of cocky, self-confident and suave guys who know they're hot. Same with Gemma--the way they regard each other is entirely sweet and very endearing; they're both oblivious of their own looks and all too aware of the other's. That being said, the romance is squeezed in between the healthy helpings of action, and thus the relationship doesn't feel developed enough to have reached the point it did at the novel's end. The epilogue makes up for it-- an unnecessary but pleasant enough epilogue. The plot holds enough twists and surprises to satisfy both the fantasy and the mystery reader. Themes of family and fitting in complement each other and the story well: Ty's parents consider moving back Topside, while Ty very much wants his own land undersea; the Dark Gifts prevent Ty and his other seaborn friends from fitting in completely. Our antagonist becomes unclear after a while in a good way, adding tension through unexpected venues. The Dark Gifts add an extra-fantastical touch to this tale of discovery and acceptance.

great sci fi--under water colonies and pirates--with a little supernatural and a love story thrown in for good measure.

love the suspense!

Looks exciting! Can't wait to read it! The cover looks really cool too. All my friends are talking about it so yay!

Great book! I enjoyed the unusual setting under the ocean. It was exciting and mysterious.

Excellent, fast and interesting
