Young Adult | Young Adult Paranormal

When readers meet Tempest this time around, she is longingly staring at her old house on land. Tempest made the decision to help her clan in the ocean and remain a mermaid, but her regrets run deep. She has made a best friend already, Mahina, and appears to be in love with Kona, a Selkie Prince. However, Tempest has only adjusted to a certain point, she cannot forget Mark, her old boyfriend, or her family on land. Tempest knows Tiamat, the sea witch, will come back for her for a final fight soon. She trains with Sabyn, a mysterious new merman on the scene...one she doesn't fully trust and Kona loathes. Hailina, the MerQueen is as lovely *cough* in personality as ever. TEMPEST UNLEASHED follows Tempest's tempestuous nature as she vacillates between the land and sea. Her choice is made even harder when her younger brother is harmed by Tiamat. Her being there for her brother puts her close to Mark. She must end this love triangle and decide before she hurts either boy. The plot itself is nothing new, but Ms. Deebs carries the story very well. TEMPEST UNLEASHED is well-written and filled with detail about both Tempest's life on land as well as her life under the sea. Readers will enjoy Tempest, she is an easy character to like and sympathize with. Her two love interests will have you picking sides. Fans of Ms. Deebs previous book Tempest Rising will not want to miss TEMPEST UNLEASHED.

SUMMARY

Tempest Maguire is happy with her decision to embrace her mermaid nature and live among her mother’s clan within the ocean’s depths. Even though training to one day ascend the throne for the aging mermaid queen is rigorous, she finds refuge in the arms of Kona, the selkie who first opened her up to her mermaid side. But when word comes that one of her brothers has been gravely injured on land, Tempest immediately rushes to his side—which also brings her back to her old flame, Mark. And in her absence, a deadly battle begins raging at the hands of Tempest’s old nemesis, the sea witch Tiamat. As the dangerous war erupts, Tempest’s two loves—Kona and Mark, sea and land—will collide for the first time, both to protect her and to force her to choose.
