This book picks up where book 2 left off, so a new reader will need to start with book 1 in order to not be lost in the series. I'm still having trouble with reviewing this as there was a lot that I felt wasn't addressed correctly to make things "right" (& not just with the characters, but the world building). I did like the series enough to want to read all 3 books, though mostly because it's a unique story. This was a decent conclusion for the series, but there were a lot of things that were confusing in the series as a whole, and in this book in general, that needed more clarification to make the ending work. I felt their were a lot of lose ends that didn't get tied up or work for the story. I still am mad at the bullying that the guys did in book 1, and that it really wasn't resolved to my satisfaction. I also felt like poor Morgan got the shaft, I was hoping Poseidon (or the blood from his son) would fix his tail issues or something... Overall, I'm satisfied that it's ended decently, but disappointed for the mixed things that didn't get addressed for the ending.

So yeah, guess who didn’t enjoy this series…. ME! It was disastrous and everyone sucked! The heroine was so annoying and never got better. She still never learned to trust her gut and every time it gets her and anyone around her into trouble. It’s really by sheer luck they have a chance for a HEA. Will it last I dunno? I could not stand her and I was at least hoping for some character transformation in the end and I don’t feel she learned a thing. At least this was a quick read because unfortunately it was not the underwater read I was hoping for. It had its moments but I never really liked the guys, still think they’re dicks. And the heroine, ughhhhhh

I don't really know what to make of these series. <br /><br />On one note, there was something new to discover - sirens, mermaids, tritons... <br />But on other note, it felt all superficial. The resolution to conflicts felt shallow. The characters underdeveloped. <br />I feel empty after reading this series. There is no take-home-value from this. Can count as just read to pass time thing. Barely. <br /><br />

Riley and her boyfriends think they have it figured out, but there are plenty of surprises as the story comes to its conclusion. She learns that they keep her grounded - she doesn't need the symbolic talisman of her people. They fight to the end and find their happily ever after.<br /><br />The author created an interesting world and characters but this book didn't take advantage of all that was created (in my opinion). The final resolution was interesting but I was expecting so much more. <br /> <br />The story is mature and each chapter alternates between a different characters POV.

<strong>A Fun Bully Series</strong><br /><br />Even though I am not a huge fan of the bully genre, I enjoyed this series. I loved Riley, Ivy, Aiden and Bubba though I would have loved a little more with Bubba, Cecelia and Monty because I am greedy lime that. I liked the setting and the action was well paced. My only small criticism is that even though the ending tied up the major plot points I didn't feel like I got complete closure. Overall, this was a great series and I would recommend.

<strong>Tentacle love</strong><br /><br />The last book left me desperately waiting for this book after the cliffhanger. The third book in the series was explosive from the start. We learn so many truths that have been hidden, true intentions of others, and the history of the sirens and tritons. It’s action packed from start to finish. <br /><br />Riley has grown so much from the first book. She’s confident and protective. She asks for what she wants and doesn’t take any crap. The steam heats up majorly. Wowza! <br /><br />There were so many fun scenes from horse back riding and tentacles, to a very satisfying ending. I loved being in this world and excited for more to come. I’ve always felt there was more to her friends. <br /><br />Multiple POVs. Med-high burn. No cliffhanger.

A good finish to the series. All the questions were answered. The Olivia situation was quite a twist. I really enjoyed the triton/siren dynamics and getting to have a partial underwater adventure.

As soon as i received an ARC of this book i devoured it in one sitting and absolutely loved it! This is the 3rd installment in the Salinity Cove series and this story had some great twists and turns that kept me hooked. Lots of action, adventure, steamy sex scenes...... and tentacles growing out of a vagina...who could ask for more ?? Highly recommend this series and can't wait to read more from this author ?‍♀️??‍♂️?

<strong>Good read</strong><br /><br />The series overall was a good take to mer-folk. I loved Riley's transition in becoming more confident. <br />The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I feel like the fight scene/confrontation needed more. Also needed a better closure.

Maya Nicole is one of my favorite authors. Everything she writes is different and refreshing and she always comes up with these characters that you never see coming. This 3rd and final book was truly the culmination that Salinity Cove needed....I wanted more of course, but who doesnt when a book ends. This last book pulled all the pieces together in a way that made you happy for the characters while in the same breath wondering how they were going to get out of the situations they were faced with. Jax, Blake,and Morgan are so different in their mannerisms, their looks, their approach to life but it just meshes well with Riley. I love how stong she became and how she accepted what she is. And the outer characters as well. You just came to love them so much even when you had doubts.. The steaminess of this last book was off the charts...I was reading with my mouth open and what never ever thought would happen between them but they always say that love of a good women can end wars..This one did...This was fabulous and everyone needs to read it.
