Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep (Emily Windsnap #2) 
~Mary
You know that awkward moment when you only intended to read the first book of a series, so you check it out from Overdrive, only to receive the WHOLE series in one ebook...Not that it's a bad series, mind you, but this wasn't a series I wanted to read in one big gulp, and now I kinda feel obligated. Emily loves treading ALL over my literary pet peeve, but she usually learns most of her lesson, and the worldbuilding isn't bad. If you enjoy mermaid fiction, I'd recommend it, but I wouldn't go out
This book is very good, the story is about the protagonist trying to impress her new mermaid friends at her new home, which led to her waking up a monster from the deep, the kraken, at the wrong time. This monster was suppose to keep humans away from their home, to keep them from finding out about mermaids. I kinda don't like how she let her feeling of trying to fit into the mermaid world get the best of her because she ended up making a huge mistake, that led into a dangerous situation but she

I...do not remember this one too well but I remember I used to be so proud of myself (I was in 1st grade okay) for reading a somewhat "scary" book. I think this book was like a Kraken was released or something and I remembered one of my friends said she didn't finish this book because it was too scary and I was so proud of myself lol and thats all I remember of this book
Wow! An never-disappointing series continues with more magic and charm! Adding the Kraken (sorry if that was a spoiler!) to a mythology-themed fantasy series? It's genius! An amazing plot from a creative writer. If you're considering continuing the series, I suggest you do now!
Um, I'm glad everything worked out, that in itself is wonderful! But you should really avoid the Bermuda Triangle at all costs. It's nothing to joke about, that.
very much a candy read!

Chronicle Toward Books Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep (Emily Windsnap #2)
5/5 stars Between the thunders of the upper deep Far far beneath in the abysmal sea His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth -Alfred Lord Tennison There are some books that fill your heart with brightness and exploding suns. There are some stories that wrap your body in starlight and breathe fresh air into you, protecting you from pain and harm. There are simply some tales that you will always come back to, no matter how old you are, just to seek comfort and be more in control of reality's wild spiralling. The Emily Windsnap series will always be these books for me. Since the moment I received the fourth book in my birthday (it can be read as a companion novel) and after finishing it and crying tears of pure joy, a feeling I haden't felt in a long time, despite the fact I was in a tender age, I knew something had changed in me. Since the moment I stepped foot in the bookstore and purchased the other free, I knew something had made my heart feel light. And since then, in my darkest times, when I could sometimes barely remember that life is important, I read this books, and it all came back to me. Emily, a girl from Brightport without a father, who has bullied and didn't feel good for herself, but later found out she was a mermaid, and her father was alive, kept in prison, was the main character. The girl who changed from a caterpillar toa butterfly, and in each book, she grew more and more, not just physically but also mentally. I connected to that girl in a spiritual level. I was a girl who was stigmatized from bullying for a long, long time. And I needed someone to show me that being myself was the most wonderful feeling. Emily did that. Since then, I followed her loyally in all of her adventures. In this book, I travelled with her to her new home, where merpeople and humans lived together peacefully. Was it the quite paradise it seemed to be, though? Of course not. There was something hiding beneath the surface, a terrible monster that was sleeping its eternal sleep, until a ship crossed the Bermuda Triangle. Because then, it would wake. And it would take what belonged to it. Emily did not wake the Kraken up before its time out of sheer curiosity. That's what I remembered, since it had been a while since I read the books. No, not at all actually. She woke it up because she wanted to be liked. She wanted friends who thought she was brave and beautiful. She wanted to be admired, and not hated and mentally tortured like in her old human school. When I realized this, something broke inside me. I shed a tear on that page, and I did not feel ashamed. Because Emily needed to learn. Thank God she later realized what a bad, bad decision she had taken. The writing of this book was so freshed, and as developped as a middle grade book writing can get. It made me dream, and wish, and believe, and took me out of reality, giving me my own unique place inside the story. I also adored the dual POVs, although the second one belonged to a character I do not personally like. The plot made me cry, as always, and smile, since these books are just perfect for the summer. I realized that there were some things I did not remember about the characters. Their guide to the island (who later becomes Millie's boyfriend) was called Archie and not Arthur and Mandy Rashton actually has short hair! I felt slightly ashamed of myself because both of these mistakes were visible in my name meaning aesthetics I had made about the series a while ago. The characters will always, always have a unique place in my heart. Not only Emily, but also her parents, who are sweet and loving and just the perfect family, Shona, her best friend who proves that being girly and feminine can make you more badass than one could realize some times, Millie, the psychic whose optimism and clear mind made me smile, Archie, our newly introduced guide with an important position of power and hell, even Mr Beeston and Mandy, will always remind me and teach me so much. I just don't know what else to write. This is a childhood favorite for me. Plus, there are some really creepy moments in it, and the way the Kraken is described is just A+. Also, since this is a really underrated series, if you guys have an urge to read middle grade, something mermaid related, or just a story about friendship, bravery, forgiveness and mental growth, read this series as soon as possible ♥ Until my next review Keep swimming, fishpeople ♥
