Losing their soul is the worst thing that can happen to any mermaid, and now Mari has to figure out how to get hers back.

A shipwreck leads to the thing mermaids most fear…

When Mari loses her soul, she has to venture on to land to get it back. But it isn't just hers on the line, the rest of the soulless mer need saving too. With the help of her pet seal-turned-dog, Shelbie, a man she can barely see, and a human intent on helping her, Mari finds herself navigating the world of men for the first time.

Can she find her soul in time? Or is she doomed to remain soulless?

  • Not the Little Mermaid you grew up on

    This reinvention of the Little Mermaid was very interesting. The sea witch may not be as evil as first thought. Instead of losing her voice, this little mermaid loses her soul. The story then revolves around her trying to reclaim her soul and solving a long held belief. She will have to decide if the search and sacrifice are worth it. I liked this version and look forward to the rest of the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
