A review by brittnichenelle
Mermaid by Carolyn Turgeon

4.0

I was captivated by this book. The alternating first-person perspectives drew me in and had me unsure of who to root for. I loved the new take on this classic and the writing was fresh and suspenseful. However, the prince turned out to be kind of a jerk and the ending was a complete cop-out. I think the story shouldn't have shied away from bloodshed at the end. One of them won and the other lost, they should have paid the ultimate price. It was a little too "And they all lived happily ever after" for me.
