Selena Flowers and the Phantom Tides: A Thrilling Mermaid Fantasy Adventure for Teens (The Merblood Saga Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Ella English (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (62)

Something strange is going down in the sleepy seaside village of Madderly Bay. Best friends Selena and Chloe are stuck in the most boring summer ever—until food starts coming to life and running wild in the streets.

But that’s just the beginning. Earthquakes start shaking the village, and creepy claw marks show up, hinting at something dark stirring beneath the waves. Only Selena and Chloe know the real story about the zombie mermaids they faced before—and now they’re worried the threat they thought was gone might be back.

As the tremors get worse and the water turns a scary green, the girls have to figure out what’s awakening in the depths before it’s too late. With their friend Zelda and her magical squid, Glowella, by their side, they’ll risk everything to save both the human and magical worlds from a danger that could destroy them all.

In this thrilling adventure, Selena and her friends have to face their fears and dig up some serious secrets between the human and magical worlds. With their village and the ocean in danger, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can they figure out what’s messing with the sea before it’s too late? Or will they realize that saving their town—and both worlds—might be way harder than they thought?

Magic at the Coast
5 out of 5 stars
Magic at the Coast
Ella English dives back into Madderly Bay with a sequel that raises the stakes and doubles down on the weird. The story quickly escalates with ultra-strange occurrences, and a sea that looks very haunted. Each strange event layers tension toward a larger, more sinister mystery. Readers who enjoyed the first book will appreciate how this sequel builds on the themes of friendship and courage. The blurry line between human and magical worlds gives the adventure its unique character. This book is for teens who enjoy supernatural twists, oceanic mysteries, and a splash of humor alongside danger. It delivers a fun, suspenseful ride. Part coastal thriller, part magical romp, set in a location where you can almost taste the sea air and hear the waves crashing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Magic, mystery, and a good dose of humor!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a fun, teen-centered read that reminded me a little of H20 but a tiny bit darker. While it’s a little younger than the age range I usually read, I actually really enjoyed the mystery and the characters. Despite the darker aspects of the story (really nothing that should turn teen readers away - in fact, I think it would really excite them), there’s also plenty of humor. Glowella, the way the girls talk, and more make this the perfect read for teens, especially teen girls who love witty heroines and some unique plot aspects… mer-zombies most of all! Really neat way to combine both mermaids and zombies into a supernatural mystery with some light moments that make you absolutely fall in love with the characters.
    Another cool thing is that even though I haven’t read the first book in the Merblood Saga, I didn’t feel like I was missing vital information—rather, this could be read as a standalone within a series. I fell in love with Selena and Chloe immediately, and I could see people approaching this series in whatever order and still knowing what was going on.
    All in all, a unique and imaginative read for teens that mixes mystery, magic, crazy stakes, and a good dose of humor. I really enjoyed it, and I know as a teen, I would have enjoyed it just as much if not more!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Selena Flowers and the Phantom Tides is an imaginative, younger teen/tween-friendly adventure that blends mermaids, zombies, and supernatural mystery. The characters are well developed and I especially enjoyed the occasional first person POV via a diary device, so much so that I wish there had been more of them! I also liked the sheer, delightful weirdness of this book. Glowella, the magic squid, is A+. As is the rest of the setting which is at turns creepy and enchanting.

    There are darker elements to this book too, which the author handles well and which give it depth, while the pacing keeps the narrative moving right along. I haven’t read the first book in this series and wouldn’t normally dive into the second straight away, but Ella English's writing is vivid and clear, so even newcomers can jump into this second book without confusion. With high stakes, magical mayhem, and themes of bravery and resilience, this series is both entertaining and meaningful. I enjoyed it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Whimsical and Witty Adventure!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Enchanting, hilarious, and action-packed, Ella English’s writing brims with vivid descriptions and razor-sharp wit. Ellora, the sea witch, is “less sea witch queen and more angry octopus stuck in a jar.”
    I loved the descriptive scene in Madderly Bay, where Mrs. Norris (with white hair tinted with the faintest hint of blue rinse) hits the octaves, and later, Selena’s wry observation: “Rude is brainwashing people with bling.”
    Her prose flows through an immersive, whimsical landscape.
    Let’s talk about the plot - flying and breakdancing food, a doughboy with an insatiable appetite, and a Zombie Queen of the Sea named Faustina, who causes havoc under Ellora’s spell.
    When zombie Aunt Ada calls for help, Selena, Chloe, and Zelda take an experimental elixir that allows them to breathe underwater, which kicks off a thrilling, high-stakes adventure for the three friends.
    English excels at character development, with well-crafted, distinct personalities that add depth to the story. Even side characters like Glowella, a talking squid, feel fully realized.
    You don’t have to have read the first book in the series to enjoy this one. English includes enough context to bring new readers up to speed without losing the pace.
    While the story is full of twists, adventure, and well-timed humor, beneath all the excitement lies an important message of resilience and standing up for what you believe in, no matter the odds.
    If you’re looking for a book filled with magic, mischief, and unforgettable characters, look no further. Selena Flowers and the Phantom Tides is a must-read for fantasy adventure lovers- a five-star TREAT!

    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Selena Flowers and the Phantom Tides by Ella English is an enchanting, fast-paced adventure that will captivate readers of all ages. Set in the picturesque seaside village of Madderly Bay, the story follows best friends Selena and Chloe as they navigate a summer that quickly turns from dull to dangerous. With living food running wild and eerie claw marks appearing, it’s clear that something dark is stirring beneath the waves.

    The book seamlessly combines whimsical fantasy with genuine emotional depth. English’s world-building is vivid and immersive, bringing to life not only the charming village but also the mysterious ocean realm. The return of the Zombie Queen of the Sea, Faustina, adds an exciting layer of suspense, as Selena and her friends bravely confront new threats. The addition of Glowella, the magical squid, provides delightful moments of humor and heart. One of the most compelling aspects of the story is the strong friendship between Selena, Chloe, and Zelda. Their loyalty and courage are inspiring, adding emotional weight to the narrative. The author also weaves in powerful themes of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of protecting both human and magical worlds. Highly recommended for fans of fantastical journeys and heartwarming friendships!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome world-building (underwater!)
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I read ‘Selena Flowers and the Cursed Ruby’ last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I’m not Ella English’s target audience (think ‘Harry Potter’ with the original artwork), I didn’t care and tore through it over a sunny weekend (think ‘Harry Potter’ in the adult artwork). This sequel is just as good. It’s enchanting, fast-paced and adventurous, and it pulled me straight back into a world full of magic, mystery and, above all else, friendship. Did it matter that I’d been fortunate enough to read Book One? No! ‘Selena Flowers and the Phantom Tides ‘works perfectly well as a standalone novel.

    Set once again in the quaint seaside town of Madderly Bay, Selena and her chum, Chloe, find themselves caught up in an unsettling series of events that turn their long summer into a conflict between two very different worlds. English gets straight to the point with Disney-eque bakery products (“Selena couldn’t believe her eyes. The high street was out of control. As a pancake frisbee flew over her head, she grabbed Chloe and yanked her down to avoid getting clobbered.”) Things quickly escalate as an odd green glow, reminiscent of Glowella’s backyard tank, appears at Zelda’s ivy-covered cottage, heralding the return of Faustina and the zombie mermaids... Oh, I should have said Glowella is Selena’s magical bioluminescent squid companion!

    ‘Cursed Ruby’ is set out in over 100 short chapters. I quite like this because it means it’s really easy to take a break (perfect for Young Adult readers and their readily-interruptable lifestyles). About halfway through, English introduces Ellora, the last of the sea witches (think Ursula from ‘The Little Mermaid’). Her search for a cursed ruby necklace brings even darker magic to Madderly Bay, forcing Selena and her friends to take action before both worlds are consumed by ancient forces.

    The strong relationships between the principal characters, Selena, Chloe and Zelda, make this a standout book. Their friendship sits at the very heart of this story, as does their courage as they face a myriad of dangers. These are very relatable characters, which is exactly what a successful YA fantasy requires. As they confront their fears and progress through a variety of challenges (magical and otherwise), their bond develops, and the reader learns that growth isn’t just about winning the day.

    This character development is critical. Selena is the resourceful, brave protagonist, but Chloe and the other characters breathe life into the story. There is loyalty, mysticism, wit and charm (particularly aged Aunt Ada, an undead fish teacher who communicates telepathically with Selena), which help to soften some of the darker elements of the books. And the world-building! It’s awesome, rich and immersive. English somehow merges the mundane with the mystical, both in the sleepy town and Under the Sea. I particularly liked the description of the tides (at the heart of the story) and the natural world—I live by the sea, and I’ve seen the creeping fog! This is truly impressive when English describes the underwater merkingdom and its host of creatures—zombie and otherwise—that differentiates this story from the Disney ‘fluff’. Bravo!
