I will admit, that it did take me a little while to get into this book, it seemed slow and I wasn't really getting into it, but then after about 30-40 pages, it really started to pick. By this point I felt the need to read it and I didn't really want to have to put it down until I knew what was going to happen.

Even though it does follow aspects of the original tale, there were so many things thrown in there that really made this book it's own. I would really say it's a whole different story in itself, I didn't find myself thinking about the little mermaid much at all like I expected to, I didn't find myself comparing things at all, I was whisked away completely by the story and I really enjoyed myself.

There were points in the book where I drifted a little, where I just wanted to story to hurry up because I needed to know where it was leading so badly but them points compared the whole story are nothing and overall, looking back, they definitely make up the whole exciting experience of the book.

I did 'read it like a book' though, not because of the tale of The Little Mermaid, but because it was very predictable. There were a couple of things that shocked me, but I guessed all the little twists before they even came up. It didn't ruin the book for me though, I was too invested by this point and I was just enjoying it.

The ending did confuse me though, the last page or so made no sense what so ever to me even though I have read it over and over. It's probably pretty obvious, but I just couldn't get my head around it, and that's the only thing I have bad to say about this book. I'd still recommend it 100%, especially if you love a dark twisted retelling.

’m not big into fairy tale re-tellings to be honest. They are the same story over and over, and you already know the ending. When I read the below description for the book it appealed for being different. ( Plus I cant really remember the whole little mermaid story)
Evie, besotted with her best friends cousin has magic, unfortunately magic is forbidden and she needs to hide the secret from everyone. When Anna dies she loses her love for life but slowly get pulled back by Nik, and her growing interest in the magic she can do.

One day a girl turns up, who is just like Anna, but shes a mermaid. She tells Evie she is in love with Prince Nik and has four days to capture his heart. Evie wants to help her but we all know that magic can do many things, but it has no power when it comes to True Loves Kiss.

The story is up and down, some parts are quite fast paced others a lot slower. I expected it to be quite dark and moody, but I felt like it was more about social standing, royalty and ballgowns. Even the chapters where things dont turn out so everyone is happy has an ooops oh well feeling to them, rather than a sense of foreboding.

I liked that the story wasnt really about mermaids, but it didnt feel like it was really about magic. It was two girls who were trying to win the hearts of two princes; who both came across as fun and romantic lads, aware of their royal responsibilities but also wanting to have fun. Iker, Evies love interest could have been the bad guy, the evil prince but its nice that he wasnt. Its unusual to have no visible agenda from that angle and I really like the change in generic storylines for that reason.

The epilogue at the end felt like it was an attempt to tie everything up and relate it to the original story, fast forwarding us to a new time. It made me feel like the end of the story wasnt really finished or fully explained, which sometimes is just how life can be.

I'm awarding a whole star for that cover alone. When I think about mermaid stories, THAT is the cover I want to see on my shelf. Sadly, the story just didn't grab me - and I think it's fair to say that if I wasn't such a stubborn reader I would have DNF'd this about half way through.

Whilst sold as a retelling of The Little Mermaid, Sarah Henning tells the tale of Evie, a young girl who lost her friend Anna to the sea as a child. So when a girl who looks exactly like Anna shows up, Evie quickly finds herself drawn to her. And Annemette finds herself equally drawn to Evie's princely friend Nik. Whilst Evie is determined to discover how Annemette can possible NOT be her friend Anna, in mermaid form, Annemette must try to find her true love or be lost forever.

I did everything I could to enjoy this story. And the first and last quarters were really great, I really thought this would be amazing based on the first few chapters - the writing, characters and story really pulled me in. But the entire middle section was so slow, nothing at all happens and the progression is at such a turtles pace that I about stopped caring by the time I got to the ending so no amount of fantastic finale would have brought me back to liking it.

My other big gripe is this: if there's to be any element of mystery or intrigue, why not at least have a completely different name for the lookalike character? It was just lacking in creativity for me and felt too obvious.

The thing is though, the ending is really good, it just depends if you have the patience to get there! If you want a gripping, fun and beautiful mermaid tale then try To Kill A Kingdom instead, but if you're happy with a slow burn then maybe Sea Witch will be a good fit for you.

ORIGIN STORY OF THIS CHILDHOOD VILLAIN?! so let's go back back baaaaaack to where it all began.

The synopsis is really self explanatory so I won't get into it again. This book was really not what I was expecting. I went into it comparing it to Marissa Meyer's 'Heartless' which is a darker tale of a rise of a villainess and I expected this book to be a similar dark retelling. But instead I got a quick, pretty easy going historical tale about love and friendship. I can't say much without spoiling.

I think my main issue with this book was the protagonist, Evie. There's nothing I hated about her but I didn't get attached to her either. And if the central plot line of your story is how your character became a certain way (how Evie became Ursula) then the focus and character development should be prioritised. The events that lead to the change are important too don't get me wrong but seeing the change in the protagonist is more important. So it's not that Evie was a bad character she was just underdeveloped and not central to the plot which is what she should have been. But I did change my opinion of her in the last two chapters-that was phenomenal.

Though two things stood out with Evie, one I hated and one I loved. I hated, absolutely hated, her relationship with Iker. I hated Iker from the beginning and the romance was just slapped on at the beginning out of nowhere then pulled around in a different directions just as fast and senselessly. There was no development to their relationship. And Evie was disgustingly drooling after him like a love sick puppy.

I can say that I loved that she's a good friend to Nik and wants to help Annette. And that's one of the best things in this book-the friendship. I loved, loved it especially between Nik and Evie. It was just so easy and fun and perfect and you could tell how much they cared about each other.

As for the other characters I wasn't particularly attached to any of them except for Nik. God he was just such a cutie and I liked his vulnerability. He was so protective of Evie and it just warmed my heart!!

The background was really well written and the author did a great job at accurately writing a historical setting, especially when it came to the people's reaction to Evie's friendship with Nik because she was poor. But it was really lacking in tales and legends, that part only appears at the ending of the book but it was not enough. That part of the story, especially Evie's magic background needed much more weight. In the end I found myself a bit confused about the magic in the book because it didn't seem to link smoothly to the mermaid parts.

The book only started gripping me at about 60% through and I remember checking my kindle to see what percentage in I was and how much time it took to really get to me. There was a good twist that pumped up the whole story and made you want to keep reading. So overall I think it was a great story, but I don't think it managed to really meet expectations when it was marketed as a retelling of Ursula.

Things get a bit nonsensical in the end even though the last two chapters were amazing in terms of action but the tiny things like the romance just became an illogical whirlwind (even though I was happy about it). I LOVED the last two chapters, it was really well written and cool interpretation of the little Mermaid.

There is a pretty good buildup of tension and suspense from the 3rd person chapters. The writing was honestly excellent and was the best thing about this book. The author is clearly really talented because those chapters especially were nothing short of beautiful! They really felt like I was reading a fairytale!

Overall it was an okay book but I felt like there was a huge chunk of it missing like legends, more character for Evie and much much much MORE development on the romance towards the end of the book, because there is a twist and it's an amazing one that I wanted to happen all along but then it's just left there. It's not provoked or pursued it just IS. And for a book about a character that turns evil I think characterisation should have been central. Because it was a good solid plot, with a cool twist BUT the main part of the story which is the protagonist was flat.

There are quite a bit of mixed review so you never know, this book might end up being one of your favourites!! Especially if you liked Aquamarine!

I do have to mention, that is honestly one of the most beautiful covers I've ever seen!!!

This took longer than I hoped, but wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.

Evie was always with her best friends; noble Anna and Prince Nik. But when Anna drowns everything changes. Four years on, and Evie and Nik still remember their lost friend, but when a new girl appears out of the blue asking for Evie’s help to not only stay in Havnestad, but keep two legs, Evie can’t help but notice the similarities between her and her lost friend. Even so, Evie will do anything it takes to aid her new friend and protect her Prince’s heart; but will she discover the truth too late?

I really wasn’t sure at the beginning. I didn’t really know what was happening or where we were going and it definitely took a while to settle and make sense. There seemed to be a lot of information come at you at once and it took a while for it to sink in. It was definitely not what I was expecting and I think it will appeal to a certain type of reader.

It is a very smart book. It’s rooted in history of 19th century Denmark and weaves together multiple pieces of Danish history. I wish I’d known this before hand because it did take me a bit off guard at first. Sarah Henning combines the history of the Danes fear of witches and burning them with the Hans Christian Anderson story and the Disney movie.

I struggled with Evie. There were moments that I really like her, thought she was great. But then she just succumbed to an insane amount of naivety. I hate it when I’m just not sure over something. For the most part she was OK, but in those final chapters when things start to kick off it was hard to not want to scream at her.
I found Annemette incredibly annoying. For the majority of the book she is the embodiment of all the ditsy Disney Princesses that are all “I love him”. I hate that. You can’t make someone fall in love with you in three stinking days! She did get a little more complex towards the end, but the damage was already done. I can’t stand her.
Nik, sweet, stupid, oh so naive Nik. Yes he’s kinda cute and adorable and it is rare to see male characters all starry-eyed and peaceful, but son is so dense. You want to see the best in people and that’s all good but how you did not realise your best friend is a witch I will never know.
Iker is complicated. He was decent through the most part and seemed to be the only one question the fishy circumstances surrounding Annemette, but I just didn’t find him believable. I was waiting for him to stab someone in the back, he’s that kind of character.

The world-building was quite nice. Henning obviously leaned heavily on the Danish influence and you can definitely see that. It felt very atmospheric.The story itself is very easy to follow mainly because the execution is so slow. It only starts to really build around 75%. That is when you know something is coming. Up until then it just feels like a group of friends hanging out, having tea and sleepovers. I found the narrative slightly confusing at times. It is a 3rd person narrative but it isn’t always clear. It would take me a while to figure out which character we were talking about sometimes because it wasn’t always clear. This happened a lot in the flashback scenes to when Anna drown. I’d often have to backtrack and reread parts when I’d realised who it was.

Overall, I’m quite conflicted about Sea Witch. It wasn’t bad, but it was so slow. You need a lot of patience. It isn’t what I expected. All the magic happens mainly at end, there’s a slithering here and there but not enough to mean anything. All the witch-y-ness happens at the end. I found the characters incredibly naive. I’m so torn trying to decide this rating it’s giving me a headache!
It isn’t a thrills and spills kind of book. It isn’t smothered in romance. The ending is decent. There are nice bits of history. If you like something that is slow and steady but has a quick, mildly anticipating ending then this is a book you will like. I hope it finds its audience.

I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I had to leave writing my review for this book for a couple of days, because by the end of it I didn't quite know how I felt about the book overall... I liked it, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting at the same time.
I'll start with the positives first. This is a unique fairytale retelling which shows the origins of Ursula from The Little Mermaid. It really helps you to understand a character which hasn't really been explored that much before. The build-up leading to the end of the book was just the right pace for me, it had some twists at just the right time, with the majority of the story being first person POV of Evie but we also had some chapters which were from the past and in others' perspectives. 

The past chapters helped to explain things but I found myself sometimes confused at whose perspective we were seeing. I could work it out but I didn't like that it took me away from the flow of the story for this. The love triangle. If you're a fan of them then of course it won't affect your enjoyment levels but for me personally I just found it a little... unbelievable? 

The build-up was enjoyable if you're interested in reading about the characters' histories but the majority of the action really happened in the final parts of the book. I guess before this the story was more focused on friendships and a little romance but if you're expecting a story with lots of magic and action then this probably wouldn't be the right book for you. 

In terms of the characters... I liked them, sure, and I loved Nik who is absolutely adorable but sadly I just couldn't feel that much for Evie or Annemette (the Anna Doppelgänger). With the villain of this story, their actions were outlined and reasons to an extent but it just made no sense the extent to which they went. I guess this adds to the shock at the end (and as their motives are uncovered) but as with the love triangle I suppose I just didn't understand why they went as far as they did.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This story follows Evie after her best friend Anna died from drowning. The book switches between the current story to four years ago when Anna died.

It took a little while for me to get into the story but once I did, I loved it and read the majority of this book in one sitting!

While I'm not the biggest Little Mermaid fan, I was more intrigued by this book because of its villain point of view. At the beginning of the book I thought the plot was interesting, but I actually really enjoyed the end.

This book definitely sets the scene of a Scandinavian whaling culture, and you really get the feel for their regard of the sea. I enjoyed the world the story was set in and I quite liked the characters. They weren't brilliant or anything particularly special but you could still feel for them and their situations.

It was the last 25% of this book that was really great. I can't say why without spoiling it, but the last part of this book was well worth the pay off and the climax was very satisfying. That section bumped this book up a star for me. It was sad, satisfying and overall, I liked it.

The Sea Witch follows the story of Evie, a twelve year old girl drawn to the dark powers of the sea after the tragic drowning of her best friend Anna. We follow Evie on her journey from girl to young woman, wrapped up in the exploits of her two love interests, as she meets a mysterious young woman by the shore who looks just like her former best friend, and becomes determined to make amends for the past.

There’s no denying this is a clever book for the right audience. Unfortunately this wasn’t for me, and I’m torn between a two and three star rating because it’s rather difficult to pinpoint what exactly I didn’t really enjoy. I think it was mainly that my expectations going in weren't really met. I wanted a magical fantasy retelling, filled with mermaids, but instead I got a lot of maritime history, dotted with historical atttudes towards witches in a Dutch setting and instalove. It’s a very slow paced plot and I really struggled to get past the more mundane descriptions with little to no plot development. If I went in knowing this, I might have enjoyed it more as generally I do like historical novels.

I also didn’t enjoy the love interests at all. Aside from the opening chapter which briefly explores their initial relationship, we’re given no real insight into why Nik in particular is so obsessed with Evie. He sometimes borders on overly simpering, and I did find it a little irritating - especially as it clashed with Evie and Anna’s more assertive personalities. In fact, for most of the novel, both male characters feel more like filler than actively adding anything to the plot.

I also found the writing style a little convoluted at times, with too many descriptions that made the story hard to follow easily. It was hard to keep my attention at times. I really do feel that if I’d gone into this knowing what I was expecting, I would have liked this more. I think it would have been better marketed as more of a historical novel with some magical elements later on as opposed to a YA fantasy. I hope it finds the right readers who can really appreciate the historical details that have obvious been added with great care and research.

The Sea Witch is a very clever and somewhat intriguing tale. With familiar element of The Little Mermaid this tale also surprised me. The characters could have used some more development though.

Sarah Henning transforms Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” into a richly layered exploration of culture and relationships to create the origin story of the Sea Witch.

This book's world is an alternate 19th-century Denmark, in a tiny kingdom composed of a single fishing village. The book is extremely detailed about the Danish seaside traditions that lend seriousness to a novel engrained in the sea and its unpredictable nature. Throughout the book, there is a foreshadowing of the dangers of crossing class boundaries and the burning of witches that suggest dark and unexpected twists. The book cleverly explores magic and its uses with richly woven threads of fairy tale allusions and a surprising ending.

The character and world building were good but if I’m honest all the backstabbing made me read faster and made the story that more real so to speak (I’m sorry I love a bit of fiction drama) and I would have liked a little more conflict to progress the story. The story focus is a Sixteen-year-old girl called Evie a fisherman’s daughter and a secret witch. Evie is a black-haired, half-Italian girl among the mostly blond Danes, a poor girl with two best friends above her class. Anna and Nik. Nik is a prince and really shouldn’t be playing with Evie, but his father made an exception. After the death of their mutual best friend, Anna, Evie and the crown prince, Nik, forge a friendship, which is tested daily by the public judgment as well as their private pain from the loss of their friend.

This story did have the mermaid and magic, but it really focused on friendship, love, and revenge. Throughout the entire book, I knew things wouldn’t have a happy ending, but it didn’t stop me from hoping while the story unfolded. I did find I couldn’t help myself from second guessing what was going to happen. With origin stories, my heart always sticks with the villain throughout. We see the beauty of their heart and what tears it into a million pieces. I just didn’t want to believe that sweet, little innocent Evie turned into something so dark.

A grown-up tail of mermaid magic, which shows the so-called villains in a refreshingly sympathetic light. I enjoyed this and would highly recommend it!

A great look into the life of the Sea Witch before she became who we know her to be. Enlightening and exciting to read, a great way to expand on the Fairy Tale we all know and love.

Thank you to Netgalley, Harper Collins and Sarah Henning for my ARC of The Sea Witch in exchange for an honest review.
It's a funny thing that a friend and I were discussing at the beginning of the year that there weren't very many mermaid themed fantasy novels out there, since then there seems to have been an influx. I read To Kill a Kingdom earlier this year and really enjoyed it, so when I saw this was a retelling of Ursula's story I couldn't resist.

The first thing I loved about this book was that it is set in Norway, there's not a lot of Norwegian fantasy/folklore books out there and I always love reading about new places. Evelyn is a fisherman's daughter who happens to be best friends with the daughter of a lord; Anna and also the crown prince Niklas. But everything changes when Anna is drowned in a terrible accident. Evie's friendship with Nik remains but the villagers view her with suspicion, how did she, a poor nobody survive when the lord's daughter did not? What wicked spell has she put the prince under to make him want to remain friends with her when she is so below his station?

Things change again when a mysterious girl Annemette arrives in town with her eyes on the prince and true love. Evie truly believes Anna has come back to her and she'll do anything to save her friend even when the cost is so high.

A lot of people have reviewed this and said they found the story slow to begin with. For me I didn't think so at all. It's not a long book, just over 250 pages, although not light hearted in terms of the storyline I found it to be a light and enjoyable read, the story was interesting, certainly in the second half it sped up but I don't expect a story to fast paced all the way, the scene setting, interwoven with local folklore was really interesting and kept me engaged with the story. The ending made me feel quite sad and slightly enraged at the injustice. I think this was really well done and an excellent retelling!

This was A-MA-ZING!! I've always been into The Little Mermaid and reading this as if it's from the other side of the equation is fantastic. The plot was easy to follow and I instantly loved Evie. Such an amazing character.

I was so sad to see the anger within her friend, and so wanted them to be happy again.

I have recommended this book to friends and family and urged them to buy it!!

Fantastic book Sarah, keep up the great work!!

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Netgalley for an e-book copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is one of those books that you hear a lot of hype about for a while and then it all goes a bit quiet. I requested it from Netgalley on the back of that hype, and was pretty keen to see what it was all about.

The world in Sea Witch is pretty cool. There's a lot of festivals and rituals and things going on, and I liked seeing all the island life being brought out. I liked how it had a Nordic inspiration to it, and how all the culture was well-written and interwoven in the plot.

That's unfortunately all I really have to say. The characterisation just wasn't there for me, and I didn't really know enough about Evie or Anna or Nik or Ikar to care about what happened to them all. They're just kind of there in silhouette form without really being fleshed out. I had the same issue with the magic system of the world and it just didn't really make sense to me around 90 percent of the time.

My other issue is the plot twists. One of them is really good, and I didn't see it coming which was nice. It didn't make a whole lot of sense, but it was a surprise and I enjoyed having my expectations altered by it. The other one though, the whole thing with the romance was just... I don't even know what was going on. I could see the twist coming a mile off, but it was executed in a really odd way that didn't make any sense and was very rushed, so it just seemed as though it shouldn't have been in there at all? It made Evie come across as fickle and didn't make me like her character any more than I already did. Also, I don't want to use the word instalove because it isn't quite, but it's a very close cousin of it. 

The writing style also let me down a lot. I was expecting some gorgeous descriptions of the sea and the world Evie lives in, but all I got was very simplified told not shown language that got a bit blah after a while. Maybe it was aimed more for a younger teenage audience and I wasn't meant to be the target, but I've just read a lot of stuff which does the infodumps and lots of backstory to practically highlight current events in bright bright neon and I'm a bit over it. 

Overall, I'm giving The Sea Witch a  4/10 stars. There were some good elements to it, but a lot of the magic system and characterisation didn't make any sense to me and I found myself struggling to get into this book because of that.

This was not the book I expected.

Admittedly, "Sea Witch" is the second Little Mermaid retelling I've read this year, and after "To Kill a Kingdom", I was expecting far more magic and threat of danger to be present in the story. Yet for most of it, "Sea Witch" is the story of four teenagers celebrating the annual festival of the sea and struggling with the various romantic tensions within the group. Only in the last 20% of the book do things get more supernatural, and wow, do things get dark fast. I really liked the world-building and it was hard not to fall in love with most of the main quartet of characters (I never really warmed to Annemette). I almost wish I'd come into this story without knowing it was a Little Mermaid retelling or that it was Ursula's origin story, as it made certain plot elements seem inevitable instead of coming as a surprise. That being said, I really did like the unusual perspective it gave on the story, very in-keeping with the original tragic fairytale. The ending especially was the right level of melancholic bleakness.

Everyone knows the story of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen, or at least Disney’s version with Ariel and her friends Sebastian and Flounder. People will also recall the evil sea witch (Disney’s Ursula) but has anyone ever wondered how the octopus-human hybrid came into being? Why is she considered evil? Why is she alone under the sea? Sarah Henning, a journalist from the US has asked these questions and come up with an answer in her debut novel Sea Witch.

The story begins on a ship many years ago in part of Denmark with the crown prince’s birthday party. Narrated by Evie, a commoner who also happens to be the prince’s best friend, the story flits between present day and four years previously when Evie and Prince Nik’s friend Anna drowned. Whilst Nik is celebrating his sixteenth birthday, Anna should have been celebrating her fifteenth, therefore, when Evie sees a face peering through the porthole of Nik’s ship, she believes it is only in her imagination that it resembled her long lost friend.

The party comes to a sudden end with a storm causing guests to flee below decks, leaving Evie, Nik and his cousin Iker to try to steer the ship to safety. In a terrible moment, Nik is swept overboard by a rogue wave and Evie fears he will be lost forever. Fortunately, Nik is found washed up on shore, but Evie is sure she saw a mermaid hovering over him.

Things become stranger for Evie when a homeless girl arrives on the beach a few days later. Claiming to have run away from home, Evie is startled by the girl’s appearance – she looks just like Anna. To make things even odder, the girl’s name is Annemette, a name so similar to Evie’s missing friend.

Evie and Annemette quickly become firm friends and both catch the eyes of the Princes Nik and Iker. With romance brewing, Evie wonders if both girls will get their happily ever after. However, there is dark magic in the air and not everything is as true as it appears.

With a dark twist at the end, Sea Witch is a story full of magic, secrets and love. Although the blurb hints of the connection to The Little Mermaid, it is unclear until the very end what characters tally up. Unpredictable and exciting, Sea Witch is a story for those with a sense of adventure, a lover of fairytales, a romantic or a history buff, however, remember, not all fairytales have happy endings.

What I liked about this version of this story is that it felt very different from the original. Sometimes it can feel like a retelling is just a kind of mad-libs version of a story, where certain words have been swapped out for others but other than that the story continues as normal. In this case, the sense is more of a story rooted in the ideas in The Little Mermaid but with a more of a human perspective. I feel like I’ve read alternative Mermaid stories from the perspectives of princes, and mermaids but I’ve not read one that brought in a whole new character as this one does. I say new character, it’s a little more complex than that, but to reveal it would be spoilers.

It’s an interesting angle to take. So often in Little Mermaid retellings, once the mermaid is out of the water not only has she lost her voice but she also has no allies, there are no characters who truly relate to her – beyond the odd kindly servant. I thought the idea of creating almost a friendship between Evie and the Little Mermaid was a powerful tool through which to tell the story. I am always here for connections forged between women, but it feels particularly poignant in a story where the original has a voiceless woman in it.

I cannot speak to the accuracy or research done into the magic system in this book, but it feels fairly generic ‘villagers and long lines of witches’ without too many specific details. I didn’t mind that too much in this instance as part of the point is that Evie hasn’t studied her magic, that raw and uncontrollable aspect is a key part of her character.

I thought that the various relationships (other than that between the witch and the little mermaid) were interesting. I appreciated that Evie and the Prince were set up to be just friends, I am always a supporter of platonic love in books and I don’t read enough of it. There is also a romance in this story, wouldn’t be a retelling without a bit of romance, but I thought it was well handled and didn’t overtake the plot.

And what a plot. As I say this is a Little Mermaid retelling and then some. I think the easiest comparison I can draw is to The Wicked Deep. I had that same feeling of something being a little off but still being shocked when the reveal came. Obviously, I won’t spoil that here but I do think it’s an exceptional way of making changes to the original story while still retaining the melancholy nature of Hans Christian Anderson’s original story.

I read this book in one day, essentially, I thought it was paced well, it’s not a difficult read but it also doesn’t feel patronising or overly simplified. I enjoyed it hugely and will be adding it to my list of ‘mermaid books that don’t suck’.

My rating: 4/5 stars

I received a digital advanced review copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley, all opinions are my own.

This blurb hooked me and I'm so glad it did, I was so could hardly to put down. Very unique take on the classic story of The Little Mermaid. I think people are going to enjoy this one so I would really recommend it.
