About this listen

My life as I know it is over.

And no, I'm not being dramatic. I've been living as a human, but now I have to return to my mermaid roots because my dad is the new king of Valora. As soon as we arrive, he sends me to the Dark Sea Academy. Whispers and glares greet me at every turn. Students accuse my dad of killing the previous king, his brother.

My first night, the most popular girl tries to kill me. I barely escape, only to run into Bash. He's older and one wrong move from being expelled. Also as gorgeous as he is arrogant. For some reason, he keeps looking at me with concern in his eyes while giving me a crooked smirk. Almost makes me forget all my problems.

But I can't let myself get side-tracked by him. I won't. If I'm to survive the academy, I need to focus on staying alive. Unfortunately, that means relying on Bash - and he's a distraction that could very well cost me everything.

I Loved Mermaid's

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I cannot recommend this story as nothing in particular stands out. It just seems like the author had a very cliche romance story to tell, yet wanted it to stand out from other books and believed that one gimmick (this being that they are merpeople) would make this book stand out from others.

Everything in this book is just very basic for teenage romance. The love interest is a ‘tortured artist’ type character, the main character is somehow very good at everything she does without trying, the story is exceedingly predictable and there is really nothing out of the ordinary which would make this book stand out from others.

Very cliche
