Reviews:

"This is an intriguing story that mixes myth with fantasy that also adds in a dash of horror. To say my interest was caught would be an understatement. I read the book relatively fast finishing in little under a day; each chapter just kept me going… I had to know more, see where it led. Not to mention the author taking two elements of zombies and mermaids, combining them seamlessly."

"The idea of mermaid zombies is genius and absolutely perfect for this age group. I got this to read with my niece (12) and she’s absolutely devouring it. The descriptions and overall “texture” of the narrative is immersive and exciting. My niece loves sharing her take on what’s happening in the story and now she’s even into drawing illustrations of what she imagines happening in the story. Super fun read - perfect for tweens who like reading fantasy and are looking for something fresh and exciting."
