Rad and Crayton - the same yet different. They meet as often as possible throughout the year to be together. Christmastime is particularly special; it's when they celebrate their bonding. Mermen, one born in the south Caribbean sea, the other from the frozen waters surrounding Iceland - neither can exist for long in the other's climate.
Rad returns to his summer home in Pennsylvania, determined it will be the last time: The cold has taken a deadly toll on him. Cray can go no farther south, so they will have to give up their bonding celebration, and the Christmas holiday together. Cray discovers a way to defeat Mother Nature, but it may already be too late.

"Didn't see that coming..."
Of course. I'm starting to actually look for books with him, just because I am used to his style. It's not always great, but I've heard BAD narrators before, and Jim isn't bad. A bit stiff here and there, but not bad.
I'll admit, this story bored me in the beginning. I kinda kept it on as a background sorta thing. Then the second chapter happened and I was really taken by surprise. VERY nice idea. I didn't even think of that. Once you know who the characters are and what they are, then it becomes really interesting. So overall, I found the story to be very sweet. :-)
