Thank you NetGalley and Jincey Lumpkin to give me ARC of this book.
Mermaid, murderer in a modern human world. Our mermaid, Gia, is has her own grave for her former lovers. For me personally, it's kind of fresh with the plot like this. Because I never read a book with the main character is the "bad guy". So I'm so excited to read this.
This book has a fast paced plot, so I don't feel bored while reading this. Moreover, I keep wondering whether Gia will change and whether the murder she committed will be exposed or not. I'm also confused when I read this whether I support Gia to change or I want her to be a deterrent because when I read this Gia wasn't that scary.
As I read this we will also see how her latest case disrupted her life. Especially now that she is with Cameron, reading a glimpse of Gia's love life, it appears that Cameron is very different. Gia is not an easy character to like but I can't hate her either. She is independent and strong, especially with the heavy past she faces. I really hope that Gia can change for the better. And Cameron.... reading this it's a shame that Gia is with Cameron. Cameron is a good guy and too good for Gia. Even with Gia's secret, he still accepts it. While reading this, I was worried that Cameron would end tragically too.
Because the setting is in our normal world, like Venice and London. Didn't expect that I would meet a mermaid colony here. Especially when brought into their world. The explanation is good and beautiful, typical of the underwater world.
