Fairytale retellings are quickly becoming one of my new favorite things to read! I loved that this Little Mermaid retelling had so many nods to the original Little Mermaid (loving shiny things, daughter of a king, an evil sea queen, a crab friend, etc.) but also so many of it's own elements and twists (a fae world, a lethal kiss, a selkie, etc.)
I also loved how complex and layered our main character Maisie is. She loves shiny things and stealing plus she's got a lethal kiss BUT she also has an incredibly kind heart and is a really strong character.
This book did drag for me a bit in the first third but then the second half moved super fast! If you love fairytale retellings, romance, fantasy, and the book The Selection (this book also has a marriage competition like The Selection) then I think you will love this book!

This turned into The Bachelor and I'm not here for it. Also the hero still has no personality and I'm halfway through??

A fae-filled little mermaid retelling. Some predictable elements, but a quick and fun read with some unique characters. Enjoyable and has me interested in picking up the rest of the series.
