Confession,  I wasn't sure if I would actually like this one or not since I haven't read a whole lot of mermaid stories. But I picked it up anyways if for no other reason than to see how many times I would want to break into a rendition of "Under the Sea." Thankfully, it was not simply a retelling of The Little Mermaid.  There was a great story there!Mara's mother just died and she is forced to live with her estranged father.  So she's 16, dealing with the loss of the only real parent that she has ever known, dealing with typical 16 year old drama at school, and trying to make a life in a new town. Of course everyone in this new town seems to already know her as soon as she arrives.  But why are so many people against her and her father?I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
