I really enjoyed this debut novel, I mean it got me with mermaid. It's fast paced and Simi is wonderful character and I can't wait to read more about her in sequel.

I loved the way the author put all these pieces of folklore together in such a beautiful story. The memories and feelings the main character has is so strong and human you have to remember that she isn't human.

Interesting retelling of HC Anderson's Little Mermaid set in the time of the Middle Passage.
