Book: Fish Out Of Water (Fred the Mermaid Series #3)

Fish Out of Water (Fred the Mermaid, Book 3) Fish Out of Water by MaryJanice Davidson

My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fred ... Fred ... Fred. Mad at Thomas for looking at other mermaids, she accepts Prince Artur's proposal. But she's got bigger problems ahead. Her best friend is planning his wedding to her boss within the confines of Fred's rented mansion in Florida. Thomas has popped back into her life and is now staying in the third bedroom ... and here comes daddy, in bedroom #4.

Poor Fred.

Mermaids are popping out of the King's internal mental radar and Fred, Artur and Thomas need to figure out why. And what troubles lay a head for all three of them.

Will Fred, the only mermaid to ever be allergic to fish, ever find true happiness?

Fred is just that kind of lucky girl. Thomas knows she's a mermaid and tells her he loves her ... Artur (High Prince of the Black Sea) wants to make her she-who-will-be-queen.

Problem? Fred just wants to be Fred. And now she's being summoned by his Highness the king down to Florida because there is to be a gathering of the merfolk. Some want to reveal their existance to the humans. Some want to stay hidden. And the king wants Fred's opinion since her "lady - mother" is human and her father was UnderSea Folk ...

speaking of which ... turns out Fred's father was a traitor, in the worst sense. He tried to kill the king and take over ... 30 years ago and was exiled ... which is when he climbed up on that beach on Cape Cod and on Fred's mom, Moon Bimm.

Now Thomas is back from Scotland and Fred is being harassed by both men who say they want her. What's a girl to do?

Book: Sleeping with the Fishes (Fred the Mermaid Series #1)

mermaids ... named Fred. Ok ... her name is Fredrika. And she doesn't like the ocean. Too many talkative fish and nasty sea weed that gets caught in her hair. Then again, Fred is a Ph.D. in Marine Biology who works at the New England Aquarium. So she's got enough fish to worry about.

What happens when a stranger walks into her life and upsets everything ... a gorgeous marine biologist and close on his heels is the High Prince of the Black Sea (aka Prince Artur ... king-in-waiting of all Undersea Folk).

What's a cranky, argumentative Fred to do? Have an adventure.

Good read ... not terrific but good enough so I read the rest of the series.
