A young-adult paranormal novel about selkies, secrets, Tasers, and kissing.
To Cassandra Kelleher, trust is a dirty word. A teenage selkie who grew up on land, all she wants is to free her family from the man who stole their sealskins long ago. With her twin brother Brennan losing hope and her window of opportunity disappearing like the beach at high tide, she’ll try anything.
Before long, however, Cassandra can’t tell whether her biggest threat is the man holding her family captive, a classmate who’s discovered her secret, or her own paranoia. Battling broken friendships and alarming romantic entanglements, Cassandra finds that trust could be the key to winning her family’s freedom … or losing her own.

Wavecrossed eBook Andrea Colt
I'll admit, I'd never heard of selkies before I picked up this book, but I loved Colt's last novel "Torched" so much that I thought I would give this one a try. And boy am I glad I did -- now I'm not sure which book I like better! Colt knocked it out of the park again with "Wavecrossed," the story of feisty selkie Cassandra who is on a quest to save her family from the grasp of her town's evil mayor. Just like Torched, this book definitely hit a point (read: "when we meet Paul") where I just couldn't put it down. I think I read it in two, maybe three sittings max. Colt's knack for compelling storytelling, witty dialog, and romantic intrigue is on display in full force in this latest novel. And even better, with Colt's ability to weave an interesting narrative relatable to anyone who ever had to deal with the pressures of family obligations, complicated romantic interests, and high school drama, you don't have to be a diehard fantasy fan to love this book. I highly recommend checking out this entertaining gem of a novel. Can't wait to read book two!Product details

Wavecrossed eBook Andrea Colt Reviews
I absolutely love books about myths. Selkies being one of my favorite topics. I love this book, but I really wish for more!!
When a human takes a selkie's seal skin, they have control over that selkie. Unfortunately, that is what happened to Cassandra and Brennan's family.
This book is written from Cassandra's POV, so we not only get to see how her mind works but also experience her crazy paranoia She is extremely cautious when it comes to trusting people outside her family. Who can blame her, the mayor is the one that stole their skins.When a deal is made with the devil to get their skins back, they decide they must rescue their family's as well.
"The truth, of course, was that we'd never be happy knowing Declan and our parents were stuck on land, eternal slaves."
They have a plan, but they never thought anyone would find out about them. Love, friendships, and family can all stand in the way. Who can they trust? Can one of your worst enemies be you biggest alliance?
When everyone else gives up Cassandra will be there to persevere!
"You're right, Brennan. I can't control where you go. So go. Find a tribe. I'll catch up with when I've freed our family."
Three and a half stars, rounded up.
Overall, this is a pretty solid young adult fantasy read. I read Andrea Colt's first book, a contemporary whodunnit entitled Torched, and absolutely loved it. Wavecrossed is a completely different kind of story, and I have to applaud Colt for making such a drastic changed. I would have never thought that these books were by the same author, going on blurb alone.
The paranormal/fantastical creature that stars in this book is the selkie, which is a being from Scottish mythology that (oversimplified) is a human on land and a seal in the water. I've heard the myth and was familiar with the being, but this is my first time reading a novel with selkies as protagonists. I love werewolves and vampires as much as the next girl, but this was a very refreshing change from the paranormal trends seen lately, in my opinion.
Colt does a great job not only describing what selkies are and how they shift, but the underwater settings and the characters as a whole. It wasn't hard to dive into (no pun intended) Brennan and Cassandra's world. Speaking of which, I really liked the twin dynamic of this. Despite their mythological nature, they seemed very human and believable. They weren't creepily best friends or forever sworn enemies (which I see a lot), but a realistic combination of loving family and bickering annoyance.
I wasn't a huge fan of Cassandra by herself though. I never really connected to her, because she often came off as aggressive and controlling. I understand that her life, and her family's, are on the line, but I wouldn't have wanted to help her, that's for sure. I much preferred Brennan, who seemed less irritating as a whole.
I also found the start of the story to be a bit confusing. I'm not sure what would fix it, maybe a prologue or a back story or something. For the first few chapters I felt like I was reading the start of a sequel, like I was supposed to have already had some concept of the twins' situation and the drama that went along with it. It got better with time, but it made it a bit slow to start for me.
Despite the issues that I had with this book, it is a solid fantasy read from an author that I continue to love. I recommend it to young adult readers with any of the following- an interest in mythology, shifters, or underwater fantasy such as mermaids. If you're not a fan of those, or high school drama, then this may not be for you.
