The Mermaid of Black Conch by Monique Roffey

2.0

---

The Mermaid of Black Conch follows a story about a fisherman sings to himself in his pirogue, waiting for a catch—but attracts a sea-dweller he doesn’t expect. Aycayia, a beautiful young woman cursed by jealous wives to live as a mermaid, has been swimming the Caribbean Sea for centuries. And she is entranced by this man David and his song.

I'm having a hard time reading this book mainly because of the writing. The writing was kind of old? So I find myself sort of reading a classic book. A part of the book was written as a journal of David Baptiste, a part was narrated in 3rd person and another part was from the mermaid's thought which was written in a poem style I think. There were a lot of sexing in this book. I didn't reading a book with sex scene but the sexing in this book was just too much. I didn’t particularly enjoy the book, however much I appreciated the uniqueness of it.

Thank you @definitelybooks #pansing for the review copy in exchange for an honest review <3
