Never stand down

Serena Moon treats life like a beach goer taking in the ocean’s tide. It’s all serene until you turn your back for a second, and an errant waves knocks you on your ass.

Know when you’re in over you head

When she’s entrusted with the safekeeping of the child elven queen, she enlists the help of mysterious — complete understatement— Peder, leader of the shifter sea dragons. Serena’s not sure what’s happening off the coast of SoCal but he’s got his own tricks.

It’s gotta be safe

It’ll take more than magic and mastery of the sea to take on the evil darkness determined to capture the world’s salvation. Serena and Peder must conquer unknown enemies and the complexity of love everlasting to save their hearts.

Serena Moon is a mermaid and a mage and it is her month to care for the orphaned elven princess Ameria. She is used to babysitting for her sisters children but full time is a whole other thing especially when the bad guys are out to get your charge by any means necessary. I loved that despite her skills Serena is a little insecure and despite her independent ways she knows when to ask for help. This is a smart, well told story that surprised me every other page. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun read
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022
Serena is more then your California beach girl . She is a mermaid that loves the water but lives on land. Things are going pretty good until the day she is entrusted with the protection of an elven princess who is a toddler . Things start to get hairy when zombie pirates start to chase her and the toddler . She entrusts the help of her best friend and and leader of the sea dragons , and no they aren't a motorcycle gang . Will they be enough to protect this precious little one and keep the darkness at bay and save the world . They must conquer the enemy and keep themselves safe .
This mermaid book has some really good characters living inside the pages . Serena is a mermaid and a mage . She is strong and sexy and oh so funny . She is one of those people that you would instantly like if you met her . She can be your friend or your foe . When push comes to shove she will do anything to protect those that she cares about . Peder is well he is such a cool guy . He is sweet and sexy and there are things that he is hiding like he is the king of the Sea dragons . They are destined to be together but they have so much to do before they can even try to be together. They are very intense characters with complex back grounds .
This is a novella that you can sit down and read in an evening . The author really paints a picture with her story. This is the first book I have read from this author and I was liking her writing style. The characters are well written and complex and the story moves at a fast pace . I did feel a little confused at the beginning about what was going on but I think if I read the other books I would have a better idea . Over all I did enjoy the story and once I got into it it flowed fast . So if you want a fun book with lots of twists and turns check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A-mer-mazing addition
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021
A wonderfully written and sea-tisfying addition to the journeys that Ameria had been in since her parents were killed at the start of the series.
I can't even begin to pick my favorite scene but I do love that the author left an Easter egg for millennial readers in naming Peder's boat Peder’s [aka Pete’s] Dragon. The nickname for Pirate zombie guy was amusing.
The suspense in the shadow creature and if he could get past Ameria's wards was intense and the creatures in the darkness made me think twice about turning my lights off when I finally laid down.

Will we learn who the killers are? What will November's guardian face? Will the guild be back for another year of care or will she go back to her elven kingdom?

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021
I really enjoyed this story! Though, I will advise you to read the previous books before this one. It will help tie in different aspects of this story. I adored Serena and just all that she brings. She is a little apprehensive about taking charge of such an important child. The adventure seems to be way more than she expected. This is such an amazing mix of magic, adventure, even a little romance. It will suck you in and just not let go! I could not recommend this more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Paranormal author collaborative series
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2021
This is book 10 in an author collaborative  short story series. This was my first book in the series but each book is similar to a standalone. I say similar because each book follows the toddler Queen Ameria who is being protected by the Nightshade Guild until her family's assassins are found. Each book follows a different Mage of the Nightshade Guild that has sworn to protect her. This book follows Serena, a powerful mermaid shifter who loves the ocean and beach life. Although she is powerful she begins to fear that her power isn't enough to protect the young queen from her evil pursuers, so she decides to take up her love interest Peder's offer to help.

Peder is the mysterious and enchanting leader of shifter sea dragons and he is willing to risk his secrets to help Serena protect Ameria from the monsters that stalk them in the night.

This book was full of thrill, chase, suspense and monsters that you would not expect. I did enjoy this book, but I did feel a little loss at times because I did not read Ameria's previous back story in the other books. Because it was a short story I couldn't really feel the connection between Peder and Serena. Despite all of that I still loved the ride of the story. The world building the author did and the immense strength of the main character was amazing and I can't wait to go back to read the previous and future ones.

Serena is a Sea Mage who has her love for the ocean and for her family. She also has love for others. She is on a secret mission for her guild for one month. So much goes on and it holds you in for it all! I didn't know this was a series, so I will get the rest to catch up then complete! The love, drama, friendships, and relationships in this series is great!

Sea Mage is the tenth book in The Nightshade Guild by Louisa Bacio. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Bacio, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. But the beautiful cover grabbed me and the blurb intrigued me enough that I snapped up a copy and dove right in. I didn’t realise that this is the tenth book in a series- and there were times while reading where I wondered if perhaps I was ‘missing’ something that happened or was explained in previous books- and that has prompted me to want to go back and explore the rest of the series to see how each story contributes to the overall picture/series. The Nightshade Guild series is a collaboration by twelve authors who each contribute/d a story. With twelve books in the series, one book releasing each month (of 2021)- and with 12 Mages tasked with protecting an elvan princess from assassination, it all looks set to be quite a suspenseful adventure.
This is a short story- which made for a quick read. It is a paranormal story with fantasy, mermaids, shifters, elves, magic, a quest, high stakes, suspense, danger, drama, and romance.
Although the story is quite detailed and descriptive, I found it somewhat wordy in places, and some of the descriptions were a little ambiguous, leaving me a little confused- which then resulted in pulling me out of the story while I tried to figure out what the author was trying to say/do. This frustrated me a lot and left me with lots of questions.
I also had trouble connecting with the characters and their story- which was disappointing as this is the type of book I normally devour and love. So, I will going back to reread this story again in a few weeks, just to see if I still feel the same way, or if I was just having an ‘off’ reading experience with this book.

Thank you, Louisa Bacio.
