What a wild ride that was! What an absolutely fantastic debut novel!

A mermaid? Yes. A cursed mermaid? Say less. I didnโ€™t know what I was expecting going into this story, but I got way more than I bargained for the absolute best way.

I loved this book for all the questioning it had me do. The plot twists, the level of relationships and the way I had to think about the authenticity of each one. Amazing!

The world building is completely imaginative and international and the growth our FMC Kaida shows throughout the story is unparalleled. I canโ€™t wait to read more from Taubin.

This story is perfect for fans of
