Awakening eBook Kitty Thomas Reviews

I DNF and asked for my money back. It wasn't all that erotic but it had it's moments. Just expected more for the money asked. It's like I should read sample and realized whole book would be like that. It's so short I could not feel the connection between them. Him talking about eating her like a fish and her being manhandled by his crew and well that broke my expectation he was possessive of wanting her at all. It just started bad and well I just didn't get into it at all and I felt cheated. Usually cut my losses but quality was not there for what I felt I was promised when reading exert and rave reviews. Doesn't mean someone else may not love it but I needed more in the connection, character description, and steam! So much potential....
Left a lot to be desired. This is the first of Kitty Thomas' books that I was less than thrilled. Not a stranger to mermaids as that I. Go to mermaids conventions her descriptions of mermaid-life was lacking. Story was too predictable.
I Loved it. a Quick read, One of my favorites! One of those that you can read again and again.
I've read many stories by Kitty Thomas and I've enjoyed them all. My favorite thing about Awakening is her hero. He is so patient with the heroine. He knows she is scared so he comforts and reassures her. He also pushes her out of her comfort zone and literally transforms her into a new person. I am a sucker for a protective hero and Kitty didn't let me down. I didn't want the story to end.
I have tried to read everyone of Kitty Thomas books. I love how they are not always the perfect ending, but in the end its still Perfect!
This felt like a short story version of a longer book, but still detailed enough to enjoy. I like the author's writing style. It is nicely descriptive and informative while invoking emotion. This was my first mermaid book so I felt it was a good place to jump into the genre. Simple and uncomplicated yet warm and satisfying. I would definitely read other books by this author, although currently I'm on a quest to read mermaids books and I don't think her other books include mermaids. So I will put her on my future reads list.
I decided to give Awakening by Kitty Thomas a try after seeing it reviewed positively by several helpful bloggers. This is a very short story, but it's nicely written and heavy on the erotic elements. It's about a mermaid, Nerina who's taken captive by a human man, Kyros. Legend has it that if a man can arouse a mermaid sufficiently, she will transform for him--growing legs in place of her tail. Kyros is convinced that the legend is true and determined to make Nerina transform for him so that he can keep her as his own.

Positive Comments

I'm fond of mermaids and other fantasy sea creatures. The use of them in this story is simple, but compelling. Thomas manages to describe a little bit about mermaid culture and way of life, and we get a small glimpse into how important those things are to our heroine. They also serve as a sharp contrast to the new life and way of thinking she encounters after she's captured.

I liked the idea of using arousal as a method for transformation. As far as erotic plot devices go, I thought this one was quite successful--it's unique and makes for beautiful imagery.

The author at least starts to explore the master/slave relationship and skims the surface behind the psychology of that on both sides. It certainly isn't a complete exploration, but it's as much as I can expect in such a short story.

Negative Comments

This is definitely erotica--pretty, interesting erotica--but it isn't romantic. By this I mean, the connection between Nerina and Kyros never strays outside of owner/possession territory. Kyros is possessive of Nerina and happy to have her--as one might be with a really nice car. Nerina is dependent on Kyros to survive, and she happens to not hate his erotic attentions. The book doesn't have the page space to deal with anything deeper, and that's a shame.

In both the relationship and the mythology, this felt like the prologue to a really good book. I hate to put "too short" as a criticism--that seems unfair. Instead I'll say that it was a bit too ambitious for it's length. A lot more could be done with this world and these characters.

Rating

This is a well written and very interesting tale. If you like erotica and don't mind the master/slave theme, I'd suggest this book. 4 stars
