Book Review: Why was this Published Why oh Why?
Summary: 1 Stars
I've read MaryJanice Davidson's Undead and Un____ Series of books. I like them. Not the best written, or the deepest characters around, but there is a charm to those books. Unfortunately, this book by the same author held none of the fun loving, cuteness that I liked in her other series. Fred was annoying, and for a marine biologists, not very knowledgeable. Her gay best friend (er, make that metrosexual) spent more time mooning over Fred's boss rather than doing whatever he did. And the suitors - the merman was an idiot, the good look male marine biologist had a good begining, but it all went downhill once Love got in the way. These people seem to get paid to do nothing but stare at each other with starry eyes. This book seems to be missing all the things I liked about her Undead series, while reusing the same characters in a slightly different setting and making them somehow even more shallow. If you want to read a shallow, fun, feel good, fast, supernatural urban romance, go with the Undead and Unwed (Queen Betsy, Book 1), it at least has a queen who cares.
Summary of Sleeping with the Fishes (Fred the Mermaid, Book 1)
Fred is not your ordinary mermaid. She's not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky. And it doesn't help matters that her hair is blue.While volunteering at the New England Aquarium, Fred learns that there are weird levels of toxins in the local seawater. A gorgeous marine biologist wants her help investigating. So does her merperson ruler, the High Prince of the Black Sea. You'd think it would be easy for a mermaid to get to the bottom of things. Think again.
