Fun, cute little horror story about mermaids. I'd already read her other book, so the ending wasn't a surprise, but it was a fun ride. Some characters are pretty cartoonish and only exist to get #pwned by other characters which felt a bit cheap, but hey we're here to see some murder, not for good character writing. And it's a good thing we aren't because that will not be found. Aside from maybe the professional mermaids talking to Anne's cameraman Nick, there's no real character moments. Or characters. But, that's not really the point of the story. The anglerfish-based mermaid are great as always and I liked the detail that they sign to one another.
