Fish Out of Water (Fred the Mermaid, Book 3)
Marine biologist Fredrika “Fred” Binn has a merman father and a human mother. Reviled by some of the Undersea Folk, and perceived as a curiosity by Surface Dwellers, Fred doesn’t fit into either world. Her first fiancé, Thomas, a fellow marine biologist who writes romances under the name Priscilla D’Jacqueline, left her for a full-blooded mermaid. Her current boyfriend, studly merman Prince Artur, wants Fred to be princess in his underwater kingdom. All Fred wants to do is to hide in the swimming pool and sort things out, but her dearest friend, Jonas, a human, is getting married, and she’s expected to help with his wedding plans. Then things get really complicated when Fred’s father, whom she’s never met, shows up, and tries to trick her into helping with his nefarious plans. The third book in Davidson’s Fred the Mermaid trilogy (Sleeping with the Fishes, 2006; Swimming without a Net, 2007 ) makes a swimmingly good finale. --Shelley Mosley
