I live a double life—and it’s about to tangle me in its net.
I'm Marra
Ayers, a mermaid pretending to be human. Or at least, I was. It's over now that
my uncle died, making my dad the new king of Valora. My parents are dragging me
away from the life I love to our undersea kingdom. And to make matters worse,
everybody hates us.
My parents send
me straight to the Dark Sea Academy, where the building is creepy and the
students are worse. The dean pairs me with a student to show me the ropes.
I get stuck
with Bash, who’s one wrong move from being expelled, and showing me around is
his latest punishment. He’s as gorgeous as he is arrogant. And an incredible
guitarist, as it turns out. Not that it matters. We can’t stand each other, and
when my orientation is over, we'll go our separate ways. Good riddance.
Whispers and
glares greet me at every turn, and the most popular girl has it out for me. My
first night, she tries to kill me. Then, bloodied and bruised, I run into Bash.
And this time, he actually seems to care...
He keeps
looking at me with concern in his eyes while giving me this crooked smirk. Kind
of makes me forget how irritating he is. Almost makes me forget all my
problems.
But I can’t let
myself get side-tracked by him. I won’t.
If I’m to
survive the academy, I need to focus on staying alive. Unfortunately, that
means relying on Bash—and he’s a distraction that could very well cost me
everything.
My Thoughts…
I am a Stacy
Claflin fan. The Mermaid’s Song is a
little different than her other books.
I felt like this was more YA than her other books but it still had that
amazing paranormal twist.
The underwater
academy was interesting. While it was a
school for mermaids it still had the high school feel. There was a hierarchy of students, the
popular merfolk, the bad-boys, and those in between. I could picture how the students would
treat each other and how the teachers would treat each group. Stacy Claflin had the characters make
waves and stir things up by taking a couple first-years and putting them in
with the upper classmates.
The
relationships between Marra and Bash was fun.
I like that it didn’t start as something that either of them wanted but
the attraction was hard to deny. They
were total opposites in society but worked together perfectly in the academy
setting.
This is the
start of a great series and I am excited to see what will come next.
