Blurb
“I was an enslaved mermaid. Now I have legs. And my master is coming for me.”
Taken as a child. Trained underwater. Lied to and manipulated. Aylia escapes by accident, but once she glimpses the surface world, she never wants to go back. Although she cannot speak, Prince Edward falls for her, and swears to protect her. But when her evil master returns, how can Edward disentangle Aylia from the dark wizard’s clutches?
This 40,000-word novel is a dark fairytale retelling of The Little Mermaid. The heroine has an unreliable point of view. The hero cannot always save her. And the villain is very evil. If you don’t like your HEAs to come easily, this series is for you.
Formerly published as Grim Mermaid, this version has been vastly expanded and re-written.

My Thoughts <3
I sometimes go into books blind without re-reading the blurb before I start it and this was one that I was SO not expecting the beginning. Imagine my surprise when it looks to be A Little Mermaid retelling with Aylia and Edward as the main characters. It is also a dirty, dirty book! 😉
The story is different from our beloved Disney one, but it did keep me engaged. Aylia is extremely naive and not sure of this new world that she has found herself in, but luckily a handsome and nice prince found her and is helping her!
All in all, if you like fairy tales retelling and SUPER steamy scenes- you will enjoy this book. I typically like my leading ladies with a bit more backbone and Aylia was a bit too naive for me, so I give this book a 3.5 outta 5.
PS: Thank you to Aria Adams and L Woods PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
