I really didn&#8217;t think it could get any better but she seems to up the ante with each novel. Believe it or not, I think each and every one of them is the best yet until the next one is released and &#8220;Mermaid Moon&#8221; doesn&#8217;t veer from the pattern.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mermaid Moon&#8221; is the perfect story for its setting along the rugged shore of the area of the country known as Downeast Maine. Residents must be pretty tough to survive the isolation and sometimes harsh conditions. Kevin O&#8217;Connor and Mallory Davis must meet those standards to find her father&#8217;s killer and live to see justice served. The task will be complicated by Kevin and Mallory&#8217;s past history as well as the fact that Mallory still feels responsible for her mother&#8217;s death fifteen years ago. Why should God forgive her if she can&#8217;t even forgive herself?<\/p>\n<p>Well-defined characters populate the pages. Some of them are very important to the plot, others might just be a distraction. &#8220;Mermaid Moon&#8221; is skillfully crafted and takes the reader exactly where the author wants her to go. With unexpected twists, danger, and romance, Coble has woven a plot that moves at such a perfect pace that it is difficult to find a stopping point. I did not want to put it down but was sad to reach the end much to quickly. This is one book that I could have read for several more hours.<\/p>\n<p>If you are already a fan of Colleen Coble&#8217;s novels, &#8220;Mermaid Moon&#8221; is a don&#8217;t miss read. If you have yet to read any of her books. give this one a try. I can pretty much guarantee it will be the last of her books you will read.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Copies of this book were provided for review by LitFuse Publicity and The Fiction Guild.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mallory\u2019s mother died fifteen years ago.
