Dragged to the remote community by her environmental activist father, she is eager to find fun that doesn't involve touching fish guts or listening to local folklore.

As she searches for him in the following weeks, she finds there may be more truth to the Starfish legends than she thought. Over a sizzling roller-coaster summer, Llyr introduces Crystal to magic she'd only ever dreamed of. But as Crystal comes to love Starfish Island, it begins to drive her family apart. A nearby power plant is devastating local marine life, and her parents are stuck in the middle.

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

"You smell fishy," Reed growled, looking me up and down with his deep ocean blue eyes, "I don't like that in a mate." My jaw dropped as I stared at my stupid mutt of a soulmate, not wanting to believe Mother Nature had paired me with this overgrown pomeranian. "I'm allergic to fish," he continued running his mouth, distaste clear in his eyes as he looked me up and down, "so you'll have to fix yourself before we can be mates." His friends all started to guffaw amongst themselves, calling out encouraging words to their ringleader which only helped to add fuel to the fire burning inside me. "First of all," I interrupted his friends, smirking when they all fell silent, "You have a foul mouth but I suppose that's to be expected from a mutt. Second of all, fuck you." And with that I flounced off in a flustered manner, wishing I could drown him in the deepest depths of the Pacific Ocean. Harbour Neptune was like a fish out of water at Lupine Academy, world renowned school for the supernatural. After her sea slug of a step mother convinced her father to send her to a boarding school nowhere near a body of water, Harbour decides to raise hell at her new school, hoping to get expelled. What she didn't expect was a certain cocky werewolf to bring her plans to a halt with his charmingly devilish ways. And she certainly didn't expect her step mother to hire a student to assassinate her. With an evil stepmother who wants her dead, a group of drama-loving girls, a hidden schoolmate hired to kill her and a reluctant mate, will Harbour make it through the year?
