Tales of the Sea Witch by Lou Wilham

4.0

First off I love The Little Mermaid and when I stumbled upon this I knew I had to read it!

This I think is a retelling but done in away that in my opinion isn't a retelling. I mean we have a Sea Witch and we have a red headed Mermaid but that's it.

Tales of The Sea Witch is a tale of Irsa and Aislin. Irsa (the sea witch) unfortunately suffers a lot in her first 16 years but with Aislin by her side they get through it.
Aislin (the red haired mermaid) marries the Prince and there enlays deceit and deception.

I loved this novel, the plot of the story was simple yet effective. The early years were interesting to read and the twist with Calypso.. Did not see any of that coming and woo, well deserved.
I loved the relationship between Irsa and Aislin, their little set up before she married the Prince was nice and sweet. Janette though didn't feature much, you just knew from the snippets she was a pain in the backside.
The Prince... What can I say about him? Ha! I knew he would turn but I did not expect any of that, ruthless and so so cold.

I found Tales of The Sea Witch a pleasant read and it was easy turning the pages to complete the read in one sitting, I now find myself ordering the next book, because after that ending, things are about to blow up and I need to know!!
