The Vampire and the Case of the Malevolent Mermaid

An Urban Fantasy Series (The Portlock Paranormal Detective Series, Book 7)

By: Heather G. Harris, Jilleen Dolbeare

Narrated by: Alyse Gibbs

Portlock’s secrets are about to explode. Implode? Some kind of ‘plode anyway.

After the shit that went down in Chrome Mine, I’m beginning to fear that I may never see my Sidnee again, because the Sidnee I’ve been left with? She’s downright scary.

Just as we try to catch our breath, calamity strikes anew: the Mayor’s son has been murdered, and suspicion is being thrown around like confetti—from the mayor himself to nearly half the town, including the usually mild-mannered Sidnee.

To make matters worse, several young vampire girls have vanished. Blame is rampant and furious factions are tearing the town apart, making our cosy home anything but.

As if all that were not enough to contend with–which it certainly was!–Connor’s father, the Vampire King of America, is on his way to uncover exactly what is going on in our little supernat town. It is suddenly very apparent that I am not quite ready to meet the in-laws, especially when Connor is so clearly freaking the heck out.

My own happily ever after has never seemed so far away.

Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family, and a slow-burn romance.

very fun series

I truly enjoy the author's world. im sure I'll buy every title to this charming world. the narrator has these odd pauses in the story sometimes so long that I start checking the connection bc the pause will be in a conversation. it's odd and disconnected. unfortunately it happens quite a bit. I first found this series in book format and was thrilled to have it on audio, so that I could enjoy them but also multi-task. I may return to only reading them though. Cute story and I do like that there is some character growth. The "love" aspect can get gag worthy so I'll just skip past it. The rest is fun. I enjoy the native folklore cryptids that put in appearance.

the characters

I love how each character has their own stuff to deal with. yet they come together pretty seamlessly. next but please

Let's move to Portlock
