100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

I absolutely love historical fiction and read a lot of it; I love to learn history this way.  I also enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller and non-fiction science.

Ice Massacre

Ice Massacre - Tiana Warner

The Pacific Island of Eriana Kwai has been in a war with the demons of the ocean, mermaids, who have been known to eat human flesh. Isolated and unable to even fish, the inhabitants of Eriana Kwai continuously run low on resources and send their young men on a massacre against the mermaids every year. When the massacres start to fail, a new strategy is developed to train and send the young women of Eriana Kwai, since they can not be hypnotized under the mermaids spell. Meela is one of the twenty girls chosen to train for the massacre. As a child Meela thought she had befriended a mermaid, only to find out she had been tricked. Her brother was also killed on a previous massacre. Now, Meela must decide if she wants to fight for the freedom of her island at the sake of killing an entire species.


An awesome mermaid story, with strong female warriors that were both human and mermaid. I loved that the mermaids were fierce, creatures that were capable of destroying humans with their super strength and speed. The set up of the relationship between Meela and mermaid Lysi was really interesting, not really knowing what the drive behind it is. The added dramatics of twenty young women on a ship together was almost as intense as all of the battle scenes themselves, creating internal as well as external struggles. I can't wait to learn more about what the mermaid king wants as well as where Meela and Lysi's relationship is going...very intriguing.
