Sleeping with the Fishes

Fred the Mermaid, Book 1

By: MaryJanice Davidson

Narrated by: Devon Sorvari

Fred is a mermaid. But stop right there. Whatever image you're thinking of right now, forget it. Fred is not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky. And it doesn't help matters that her hair is blue.

Being a mermaid does help Fred when she volunteers at the New England Aquarium. But, needless to say, it's there that she gets involved in something fishy. Dangerous levels of toxins have been found in the local seawater. A gorgeous marine biologist wants her help investigating. So does her merperson ruler, the High Prince of the Black Sea. You'd think it would be easy for a mermaid to get to the bottom of things. Think again...

Contains mature themes.

exactly what i needed to read

loved it!! i was a bit fred-ish when it came to the romance parts –i was here for the butt kicking– but i really really enjoyed it. especially the merfolk worldbuilding. it was funny, easy to follow, and really connected with my inner mermaid geek. pity i need credits to read the rest of the series – guess i'll just have to wait til next month. the performance was great too – made it even more absorbing. kudos!
