"Smitten" is a mermaid tale unlike almost any you've read before. While it took quite some time to get us to the meat and climax of the story, it was refreshing to delve into such character depth. Lana's life as a foster kid is believable and gut wrenching at times, particularly her role looking over the younger children. Both the human world and the sea are painted in clear tones. And Jonas is one of the most compelling new characters I've read in some time. Besides a few typos it was a good read. Liked this one so much I went ahead and bought "Zerrin," the full story.
