Fishy Reads!

Fishy Reads! 

Okay, so I promised some mermaid tales this week! We have already reviewed some mermaid shenanigans, but here's a few more to flip your fins to!

These three books are a selection of different tastes. From mature content, teenage lurrrrve, and belly laughing fun, they've all be chosen to suit certain readers. For anyone looking for recommendations, just keep an open mind with these three. They're all different, but all about love, mermaids and of course, those damn amazing heroines! 

My Mermaid Reading List: 

Goddess of the Sea, by P.C Cast. 

Paitkus Cover

On the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, alone in her apartment, Air Force Sergeant Christine Canady wished for one thing: a little magic in her life. After drinking way too much champagne, she performed, of all crazy things, a goddess-summoning ritual, hoping that it would somehow make her life a little less ordinary...but she never believed the spell would actually work.

When her military plane crashes into the ocean, CC's mission overseas takes an unexpected turn. She awakens to find herself in a legendary time and place where magic rules the land—occupying the body of the mythic mermaid Undine. But there is danger in the waters and the goddess Gaea turns this modern, military gal into a beautiful damsel so that she can seek shelter on land.

CC is soon rescued (literally) by a knight in shining armor. She should be falling in love with this dream-come-true, but instead she aches for the sea and Dylan, the sexy merman who has stolen her heart.


Rating: Mature for content, whole lotta flapping around in the water, annoying knights, sly monks. 
                                                                       

Of Poseidon, (The Syrena Legacy #1) by Anna Banks.

Square Fish, 2013
Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...

Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.     

Rating: T for Tweeny love, cute mer-boys, fun and engaging characters, no-fuss reading!

Sleeping with the Fishes, (Fred the Mermaid, #1), by Mary Janice Davidson. 


Paitkus Books, 2011. 
Fred is not your ordinary mermaid. She's not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky. And it doesn't help matters that her hair is blue. While volunteering at the New England Aquarium, Fred learns that there are weird levels of toxins in the local seawater. A gorgeous marine biologist wants her help investigating. So does her merperson ruler, the High Prince of the Black Sea. You'd think it would be easy for a mermaid to get to the bottom of things. Think again. 

Rating: M for language, chic-lit, Witty and lovable characters, chortling belly laugh read, all about da mermaids, love triangle (but actually a good one!)
