Children of the Waters - Carleen Brice

I was already a fan of Carleen Brice after Orange Mint and Honey. This book reaffirmed that love. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I didnt want to put it down as I was so interested in finding out "what happens next" to Trish and Billie. The characters and the dialogue were real and the development of the story was perfectly paced for me. It was a quick read, but the story wasn't light by any means. I laughed, cried and at points disliked the characters-- esp Nick and Will (they do redeem themselves by the end) and even Billie. By the end of the book, I felt like these were people I could know.

 

Finally, the interview with Ms. Brice at the end was especially enlightening as to how the story/characters were developed.
