A steamboat captain saves an injured mermaid, but her situation isn't as innocent as it seems, and the boat's owner's promiscuity is hiding a complex secret.
What a wasted set-up!
Aside from this beautiful imprint under the dust jacket, I didn't like much about this book. The art was mostly bad, the main character looked like a muppet, and the story kinda sucked until around Page 300, but then it totally flubbed the ending. Very disappointing.

TieDyeDude Sorry to ruin the cover, but I had to show you the main character. Seriously, how do you settle on that design? And yes, he looks just like that 75% of his panels. No one else looks like a muppet, BTW. The book was also way too horny for my liking. 2h

“Fish“ was in my current read, hooray. Don't know where I'm gonna find “Portugese“, though. Cruising Libby now...

Lauredhel @Read4life I think I've found a graphic novel on Hoopla that might work... 2d

Overall, I liked this installment of the Wayward Children. In this one we get to explore the other school for children who have entered mysterious doors. The one thing I didn‘t love was the body shaming, it just felt unnecessary for the plot. 4⭐️

A small ship went to the Mariana trench to film a mockumentary. No one survived, only short video clips of what appears to be mermaids killing everyone is left behind. Now 7 years later a cruise ship filled with ambitious scientists go back to find these sirens.
A good build up leading to a lot of bloody action but the ending fell flat with unanswered questions.These creatures are what nightmares are made of, they are many and they are vicious

sarahbarnes This is something out of my worst nightmare. 3w
ShelleyBooksie I enjoyed the storyline about the dolphins 3w
MsRadioSilence Whenever someone asks for my favorite book, it‘s this one, hands down. I wish it‘d been popular enough for a sequel! 3w
Reggie There is a prequel novella which talks about the ship where the found footage comes from. It‘s pretty good. 3w

163 pages of words and pain from the deep. What if when enslaved, pregnant Black women who were thrown into the sea by colonizers on the Middle Passage survived, becoming merfolk? The Wajinru are these descendants, and none of them remember their story—except one. Yetu retains each painful memory of trauma and joy, and it is her responsibility to pass their history down. But, the pain of it is too much to bare. When she returns to the human ⬇️

JenniferEgnor surface, she must decide whether or not to stay in this long left behind world, or return to her people. A fascinating, beautiful story about trauma, memory, greed, and what it means to carry the weight of the world inside you.

…there are legacies of triumph for every legacy of trauma. Everything is always changing, which means nothing can ever be hopeless. The battering rush of tides shapes and smooth rock, carves out new lands.
