The Mermaid's Escape by Kellie McAllen
4.0
I received this ARC from the author for an honest review. I am not paid in anyway.
So I went into this book with meh expectations. I am not the greatest fan of mermaid focused books. But I love reverse harem romance and I love some of Kellie McAllen's other books so I thought I could give this a chance! I came out of this book very surprised! I did not love it but I definitely thought it was better than I expected it to be!
Coral is a pretty decent lead female character. I like the fact that I could sympathize with her. She had some strict boundaries placed on her by her grandfather and you can definitely feel how that weighs on her as a person/mermaid. Then she escapes from that world and we follow her to land. It was nice to see that Coral had to react to the world above the water on a island where there is not to many other factors that would interfere with her learning. All in all she was a decent character to follow. The reverse harem aspect of this book was okay. I didn't really like the men, not because of the men themselves but because I didn't really get a lot of personality from any of them. This could be fixed with the next book of course but I'll have to wait to see.
I wanted more from the underwater world. The scenes that we get in the beginning of the book were excellent. That shocks me more than anything. I liked the mermaid aspect to this book instead of just relying on the reverse harem part. Usually its the other way around.
With that being said, I enjoyed this book! Its not perfect but it is pretty decent!!
