Mellick delivers as always! Village of the Mermaids is a gnarly twist on the lore that we grew up learning. These mermaids are killers... and they are protected by a government agency aimed at preserving life of endangered species. Entire ecosystems and food chains have been instituted to keep these mermaids alive... but soon they start to change... and everything we are just finding out is already out the window!

Village of the Mermaids has quite a bit of humor thrown into it - which I definitely loved. But I also LOVED the vampiric mermaids and the arachnid mermaids we start seeing! Oh, and mermen! YIKES! Fans of mermaids and nautical horror NEED THIS BOOK! 4.5 stars!
