Aimee Lou's Reviews > The House in the Cerulean Sea

My true rating is a 3.5 star. I wanted to love this, but I only ended up liking it.

Linus Baker is a case worker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He goes around to orphanages to make sure the children are being treated the way they should be treated. Linus is very good at his job. He is given a highly classified case by Extremely Upper Management. They are claiming the children are very dangerous to themselves and others. These children are kept on a strange island and they are looked after by Arthur Parnassus. Who is the master of the orphanage. But what Linus discovers on this island is not what he was expecting. Especially not the beautiful man that is Mr. Parnassus.

I really did like this story. So so cute. The children at the orphanage had my heart. They are a very different clan and I adored them all. But I lost interest a good bit throughout the book. It took me a while to get into to it as well. My favorite part was learning about the children on the island. And Arthur was a very interesting character too.

The audio was very good. I do recommend listening if you can.
