Coasters Rule by Danar Burkard - Fantastical Realism

Fantastical Realism 

Date Published: September 26, 2023

An adventure of fantastical realism told through the eyes of twenty-year-old college sophomore Sofia Sommers. Traveling to Grand Cayman for spring break, Sofia and her childhood friend are looking forward to a peaceful, relaxing week soaking up the sun and decompressing after mid-term exams. Tragedy strikes and Sofia is rescued by the Coasters, a reclusive tribe of merfolk led by the ethereal, mohawk-haired Empress Sundrea, who is not only a benevolent leader, but a fierce warrior in her own right.

Sofia discovers her misfortune was the work of the Dwellers, a murderous gang of mermen human traffickers hell-bent on creating their own deviant gene pool and ultimately a bloodline of immortal disciples.

Come along with Sofia as she must decide whether or not to put her life on the line and assist the Coasters in their endeavor to reclaim a life-altering piece of their ancient history from the hands of Overlord Mercaro and his barbaric band of Dwellers.

Review

There’s a lot going on plot wise in “Coaster’s Rule”, so the story never really drags, and there are some twists and turns along the way that keep the reader on their proverbial toes. The plot does have some magical elements, but it all happens very organically and doesn’t feel forced.
This book has it all, and more. Enjoyed the rollercoaster ride of surprises, sadness, beauty, and friendship.
