Simplistic plot contrivances abound in this fluff of a book about a modern, urban mermaid who is summoned to a big merfolk convention in which the decision will be made whether to "come out" to humans or not.
The characters are paper-thin and the writing uninspired and unimaginative. I didn't expect a whole lot when I picked it up, given the size of the typeface and the number of pages, but I was still disappointed at how little of anything substantial there actually was in this book. There are much better written paranormal romances out there, keep looking, dear reader.
I gave this book one star because I got a genuine laugh out of King Mekkam's 'biped dialect' that he learns from watching DVDs, and one star just because it was about mermaids and I enjoy mermaid stories. This was the first book I've read by Davidson and I do not think I will be picking up a second.
