Evergreen by Brenda Pandos

A kingdom on the brink of war.
A king on the fringes of insanity.
A family running for their lives.
Ash and Fin’s only desire is to be together and dive into their happily ever after, though their conflicting worlds work to pull them apart. Neither is ready to convert to the other’s life: become a human or a mer. Little do they know that somewhere in Natatoria a secret holds the fine fabric of everyone’s lives together. If the truth is discovered, Ash and Fin will no longer have the luxury of waiting. They’ll be forced to choose. But will it be for loyalty or love? Or will someone else make the choice for them if they can’t decide?
Enter the watery world of treachery, greed, and the binding mer kiss as the story continues with Evergreen, book two of Mer Tales. From Goodreads.




I really liked the first book so this was a disappointment. The first 60% of the book is extremely slow and boils down to two teenagers constantly calling each other to say "I love you".
I am glad I kept going though as it picked up in the last 40% to what I remember from the last book. A lot of action, betrayal and interesting twists.
As I already have the last book in the series I will read it and hope it is better than this second book.
