A mermaid meat cute. As a rescue swimmer for the U.S. Coast Guard, Reid Kruetz has a healthy respect for the ocean and its dangers, but conducting search and rescue operations in heavy seas is just another Tuesday. That is, until two high-profile cases bring him to Haven Cove, Maine, a small coastal town known for its vicious mermaids. While on a case, the crew he’s meant to rescue is yanked into the deep, never to resurface again, and he’s brought face-to-face with an amber-eyed mermaid, her lips red with blood. But there’s more to her than stunning, deadly beauty, and she leaves him alive with a message he can’t ignore: her kind are being hunted to extinction. Nireed and her merfolk kin are fighting for survival. While recovering from the brain virus that ripped apart their community, a new threat dwindles their numbers. A nefarious group of fishermen are targeting their kind, using their favorite delicacy to lure them in. Dead or alive, she will not be captured. Not ever again. And yet, if she’s to protect her own people without destroying the tenuous peace between merfolk and humankind, she will have to learn to work with the infuriatingly handsome human who tried to save her enemies. But it soon becomes clear that there’s another threat to her life at sea, and it isn’t any net, but the surface-dweller seeking to ensnare her heart.

    Thank you so much to City Owl Press, Netgalley, and the author for providing an advanced copy of this! All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

    I've never been HUGE into mermaids, but since this is from an author I already love & enjoy, I decided to give this one a shot! And all in all, I had a really good time reading this.

    This definitely leans into the darker side of sirens/mermaids and not the cutesy Ariel-style which I enjoyed. The heroine is not human, and definitely never acts like it. But it was still so easy to root for her as an MC.

    While this is book 3 in a series, and does reference some characters and events from the first 2 books, you definitely do not need to read those in order to pick this up. Everything you need is recapped and covered and I never felt lost or like I was missing something.

    There was tons of mutual pining and had one of those romances where you question how it could possibly work long term until the very end.

    The little twist with the hero wasn't necessary my favorite, but didn't deter my enjoyment too much. And the ending, while maybe too easy, was delightfully satisfying. Who doesn't love seeing big corps getting taken down?
