I generally hate surprises unless it comes to stories. Being well versed in general mythology, I know the lore about selkies: human to seal shapeshifters who leave their seal pelts behind when the change. This leaves them vulnerable to theft of their true identity, for a selkie without his seal skin is only half whole. This is the foundation of By the Sea.

Like many young girls Megan has an imaginary friend; the only difference is hers is real. Then he disappears making Megan doubt her sanity and her worth. Now several years later, while working as a waitress, she notices something odd about her new coworker, and it doesn't take her long to realize he's her "imaginary friend" Niall. Initially angry and betrayed until Niall explains the reason for his desertion and also entreats her for help in restoring him to his full self.

I was pleasantly surprised by the twist in this story, for I've never seen this combination of fae before. The antagonist is terrifying and makes the story take quite a dark turn, putting both Niall and Megan in horrifying danger, and shattering her perceptions of the real world.

This story is well written with an almost whimsical tone to begin. The language leads you to think of the sea, breathy and light to glide alongside the loss the main character feels. The tension is heightened beautifully at the dire moments where you feel the same terror as the characters, doubly Megan whose suddenly thrown into a world she never knew existed. Their romance is sweet and almost childlike, as if Megan is still dealing with unresolved issues from that time, but it fits perfectly due to Niall's true nature. They can both grow together. Him in the aftermath, no longer trapped but a willing denizen of her sphere, and her now privy to the secrets of his nature.

Well, where do I begin? I can honestly say, I’m almost speechless…those of you that know me will know that that is serious business.

McIntyre’s writing style is completely flawless. Reading her work is like floating on the waves of a comforting sea (pun intended).

This story is set in a gorgeous seaside town. Poor Meagan has suffered years of therapy having clung onto an ‘imaginary’ friend well past it’s ‘sell by date’. Her family and therapist managed to convince her that she had imagined a whole person, dreamed him up until *poof* he was gone. With no proof he ever existed she had no choice but to believe he’d been nothing but a figment of her imagination.

That’s until he shows up in town seven years later, going by a different name, but she recognises him anyway and finally get’s some guts from somewhere to confront him. When he gave her his explanation of why he’d disappeared I kind of reared by head back… He’s a what?. But I have to tell you it worked. It worked because it was refreshingly different.

Anyway, Niall has lost something precious, something he really needs back. Meagan agrees to help him find it even though she’s filled with despair, knowing he’ll disappear from her life once more as soon as the object if found.

This novella is beautifully written, filled with angst, and possesses a unique story line. It’s written in first person, which I tend to enjoy. I connected with the two main characters and easily gauged exactly what Niall was thinking and feeling despite the story being in the first person. The story was captivating, funny, sweet and unputdownable.

Well done to the Author! This is the easiest five stars (or five shells in this case) I’ve ever given to a book…
By The Sea - Katherine McIntyre (5 Stars)

Megan had an Imaginary Friend growing up that one day just disappeared without a trace, but when Niall shows up years later with a different name , Megan knows it's him without a doubt in her mind, he's just as Gorgeous as he was before he abandoned her .
Will they be able to start over or will the hurt he caused her in the past and the secrets he holds make Megan Run without looking back once they are revealed ??

I thought this was a Beautifully written summer romance read for anyone to get lost inside the pages.I myself didn't have an Imaginary Friend growing up , but if I had I would certainly Hope he was like Naill.
I was not expecting the story to take on a Paranormal vibe , but that's where I was taken .I love Paranormal romance ..Even the Erotica versions , but have never read one about a seal Shifter , so this was a treat & a half .
The storyline was full of Emotional Heartbreak, Angst & longing , Suspense ,Action & Adventure , but the writing of the romance between Megan & Naill was the part that really pulled me in and tugged at my heart strings .
I just wish that the story never ended . I wanted more , but i'm glad I got to read this Enchanting story ..Every word on this little novella's pages cast a spell on me Thank you Katherine for this Gift .....I loved it !!
This is an enjoyable love story with a twist! It is very well written and a good Summer read. It is short and sweet!
Anytime I find an emerging author with a great voice, I get super excited to follow all of their work! You can count on Katherine to come through for you with a spunky female lead and a unique twist on the standard romance (or any genre she gets her paws on). So pumped to see what she comes up with next. I'm gonna bring this to the beach with me ; )
This was a beautiful story. I just wish it were longer. ) Loved all the characters and how the story played out. I wont repeat what many reviewers have said except that if you love the ocean and romance, you'll enjoy this book. I know I loved it!
