Synopsis: Faraway, on the edge of a sapphire sea, there’s a fabled island where Cajun folklore meets Greek mythology, where the bayou meets the sea, and where humans meet mermaids.
On the surface, The Mermaids Melt at Dawn appears innocent enough, but the swamp hags and sea witches of old remind us that appearances can be deceiving. Filled with fascinating characters, a touch of romance, some wicked twists, and a dash of magic, The Mermaids Melt at Dawn is a captivating voyage for fans of historical fiction, fairy tales, and mythology.
From the Louisiana swamps to the wild waters of Barbiche Island, Rok Lejeune embarks on a nautical adventure to the mystic island of mermaids, but Rok is not the only creature with a story to tell. Barbiche Island is home to a pair of warring mermaid sisters, power-hungry Poseidon, petulant gods, and other mysterious monsters. The mermaids of Barbiche Island sing of love, survival, and betrayal, but will they answer the burning question? Why do the mermaids melt at dawn?
Review: That's what was pretty good. I felt like there was a lot of good character development and that the world building was very well done. The book overall is pretty well written.
However, I do feel like that the book has some issues. There is more than one there in the back and that we came really confusing from me because of the amount of pages after we're in this book. I also didn't expect this to be an adult book, but I also don't read blurbs so maybe that was my fault. I also felt like painting was a little bit too fast and that maybe the story needs more written to be fully flushed out.
Verdict: It was ok!
