About the Book
Three sisters vying for attention.
One matriarch to keep them in line.
A world of adventure filled with nefarious characters, hidden secrets, mysterious activities, and sunken treasure.
Sunken treasure?
Yes, sunken treasure. Because this is the ocean, where pearls are common, crimes are not, and mysteries lurk behind every cluster of coral.
Welcome to Sirenia, the mermaid colony in unchartered waters!
TAILS FROM THE DEEP - Mermaid Mystery #1
There's something fishy going on at the edge of Sirenia...
Zoe wasn't looking for trouble. As the middle daughter in a family of three mermaid sisters, she never gets the attention she deserves. She spends her days frolicking with sea creatures by the sunken battleship that sits at the edge of Sirenia, and her nights being lectured about danger. But when she finds a diver trapped in the kelp by the wreckage, she overcomes her shock to free him. The problem? The only available tool to cut him loose is the knife in the body on the ocean floor by his feet.
What happens when a mermaid saves dangerous stranger?
If you're that mermaid, you might have to solve a mystery to save yourself.
Zoe learns the diver is a detective tasked with solving the dead man's murder. Being in the unique position of finding evidence underwater, Zoe volunteers to help . . . until she finds a clue that links the body to her older sister. Now the only way to ensure the safety of her sister--and protect the mermaid colony she always dreamed of leaving behind--is to discover the dead man's identity herself. Zoe is used to being invisible around the other mermaids, but what happens when her sleuthing for clues exposes herself to the humans who may be responsible for a murder? With the evidence hidden in the ocean floor, digging for clues could lead to an early grave . . . in Davy Jones's Locker.
You'll love splashing around in the virtual world of Sirenia, because mermaid mysteries are the perfect escapist fiction.

My Thoughts
Sirenia is a fascinating place full of wonder. It's quite a neat underwater society. And the whole mermaid mythology was really cool. It was fun learning all about them.
Tails from the Deep is the perfect summer read. I enjoyed my time spent in the pages of this novella so much. My only complaint is that it had to end so soon. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel!
