A Ship of Bones & Teeth by Karina Halle

3.0

I liked the premise, but not so much the execution. Imagine Ariel from The Little Mermaid falling out of love with Prince Eric because he's actually awful and abusive. She wishes to be a mermaid again, but along the way falls in love with a pirate like Captain Hook (OUAT version). Was entertaining for a while, except the plot lacked a proper "romantic growth" between the MCs, and the smut did nothing for me, so I grew bored by the end.
