" Three and a half stars. I enjoyed this as I have the Mary Alice Monroe books I have read, and I liked discovering more of Toy Sooner's story I first met her in The Beach House.I enjoyed seeing her develop, though at times I found her decisions like with Darryl inexplicable.It is obvious a lot of research had gone into the turtles and their habits. However though I enjoyed this story, at times I found the amount of turtle detail overwhelmed the characters and story a bit. While I enjoyed it and read it though quickly, I didn't find it quite as captivating as I did Skyward and The Buttefly's Daughter. Maybe I'm not that into turtles? "
