Stories based off Norse Legends are always fun and Fish Out of Water was definitely an entertaining read for me. From the initial paragraph in the first chapter I knew I was going to like Rania. Like seriously, who wouldn't love a Mermaid that loves to drink, smoke and shoot things with a Glock!! So funny!! She is an awesome mermaid; she is witty, down to earth and very passionate. She lives on the main land and her mother is the mayor of the small town they live in. Rania has a few close friends, mostly associated with work, but they are all very loyal to her. Rania takes her work seriously, being the deputy chief in the police force and when she is focused on something she sees it through to the very end. She holds the people that are in her life close to her heart.After meeting Lunia, Rania's mother, I understood where Rania got her passion from. Lunia is a wonderful person and removed herself from Aegira to make a better life for herself and for Rania. She is a mother first and that is what is important. She will drop everything to help Rania.There were a few characters that we met in this story that we haven't seen the last of and I am looking forward to see what impact that they will have in the next book. Doug and Rania's father are two in particular I have a feeling that I will see again. They are both very important to Rania, for humans!Ros has her own way of twisting the Norse Legend to build an intriguing story and I thought that this storyline was great; following with Rania to sort out the facts to the murder mystery in her hands. I loved the chemistry all the characters had and the lengths that they will go to protect on another. There were a few secrets throughout the book that are yet to be revealed, not only from Rania either, so I was left wondering at the end of the book as to what will happen next ... and I am keen to find out!!Thank you to Ros Baxter and Escape Publishing for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
