This was a let down compared to the other books in this series. There was just so many unbelievable plot bits, and it began to feel like a 16-year-old's diary entry of becoming a mermaid rather than anything decent. I found myself both bored and irritated with the plot, and just wanted to zoom to the end so that I could hop to the next book (which would hopefully be better).

Specific things I did not like:
- FMC knowingly acting childish, at the suggestion of MIL
- The whole DNA changing and becoming a mermaid was a little ridiculous
- the plot was dull with sick/visit/sleep/panic/progress in a cycle
- daft overpowered abilities?
- over reactions to slow progress
- overly perfect MMC who was two-dimensional
-
the biological indication of soulmates plot, which I normally don't mind but just irked me at the end of this because it added nothing

- did I mention a dull plot? And I normally love people fitting into the domesticity of their lives
