I have to say… I loved this book! It is an adult retelling of The Little Mermaid, so expect things to be heated, but it’s also a wonderful paranormal spin on a classic fairy-tale. I loved the characters and the exciting plot. I would read more books similar to this!

I love fairytale retellings and this book did not disappoint. Anna Santos is a wonderful author and one of my favorites. The story and characters are wonderful and she did a great job on them. I highly recommend her books.

Like running into an old friend you haven’t seen in years, this twist on a well known story is vert well done. While the underlying theme is like that friend you knew, the updated tale are the recent adventures you weren’t expecting from this character. Very enjoyable read.

An entertaining retelling of a classic tail from a more adult perspective. I found this quick story to be a highly entertaining reading experience. A very fast and action packed read.
Pretty amazing piece.
When I was looking at books on Booksprout I knew I had to pick up both of Ms. Santos offerings. I loved Hunting the Beast, but the Mermaid Queen was outstanding. The author has taken the Little Mermaid tale and has spiced it up with unbelievable characters and awesome twists that blow me away. This is a book you would definitely want to read. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Mermaid Queen is a well written short retelling of the Little Mermaid with a few paranormal twists. In this book Mirella is a Mermaid Princess and Duncan is the King of the Lycan’s. Mirella saves Duncan from drowning when his ship is attacked and they fall for each other instantly. Great writing, paranormal twists, and a great cast of characters make this a must read.
Overall rating: 4.1
A short and sweet novella, it mirrors the little mermaid well. This however, is an adult read with mature scenes not suitable for innocent minds. The writing style is quite simple and easy to read. All in all, a quick and easy book to escape in for an hour or two. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
I really enjoyed this amazing Little Mermaid retelling. I really loved this adult version. It grabbed my attention from the first page. While most of the story was predictable, I still loved the unique aspects that the author added.
I really enjoyed this mermaid tale of love and adventure.
This was a fast and fun retelling of the little mermaid with several differences in the storyline. First our little mermaid went after what she wanted and the sea witch wasn’t quiet as evil. Our king was a wolf and had problems with vampires. All the characters were likeable and interesting. A great short story putting a new twist on an old fairy tale. Loved it!! I am voluntarily reviewing an arc I received.
