For mermaids and humans, the rules are the same: be careful around strangers, be wary of magic and before you dive in, check what’s lurking under the waves.
Nineteen-year-old Ellara Merme’s whole life she’s known one purpose: to mate with men, to procreate, and to bear offspring to fight in Neptune’s underwater army. No problem… There’s just one hiccup. Her siren song doesn’t work.
No one can know.
She’s a broken mermaid with a faulty lure and she has only one week left to make the damaged song work. But all that can change with the ocean’s next deadly storm. Dragged from a shipwreck, mythology says a rescued sailor will be so grateful he’ll fall into anyone’s arms. Even a broken mermaid’s. Still, there’s a reason why merfolk and humans don’t get along. And a lot can go wrong when a girl from the ocean washes up on the shore.
Think mating is easy? Think again.
Cruel and Splendid Mermaids is a first-person dark and playful underwater fantasy. Book one in the Broken Mermaids series.
My Review
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
I really enjoyed this story! Ellara is just your typical mermaid who needs to have sex within the next three days to land her place in society. However, to do this she's got to lure a human male in – but her sirens voice is broken. She rescues a sailor from a shipwreck one to find out that he is a woman named Maggie. They form a friendship and the rest you've got to read. I enjoyed the dialogue between these two so much – it was truly a joy to read. I thought the plot was definitely fun and different. I can't wait to see where the story ends up going. I would definitely recommend.
