Bridget and Ash are half-human and half-mermaid. It's early 2013, and they're ending first grade in a large Pennsylvania city known as Philadelphia. Their majestic tails form in water above 32°F and below 100°F. They hope no one finds out about their secret, but a cruel betrayal by their so-called friend lands them on the most watched news channel in east Pennsylvania! They decide to escape until everyone forgets about them. These two best friends swim all the way to Isola del Giglio, Italy in 10 days, only stopping for food, water, bathroom, and rest. The girls make a mysterious discovery in Italy as well as meet three new friends. Then, a terrible problem emerges, and the mer must face it alone. How will the five half-mermaids of Isola del Giglio solve this issue?

"I was smoking on Shellfish Bridge, thinking about how I had completely screwed up my life, when an idea occurred to me; what if I jumped?" What happens when you make a suicidal jump off a bridge and everything goes completely wrong? Ask Tarabelle Johansson, an 18 year old girl that wanted to end her life, even though it had barely begun. Despite having to leave behind her older brother Ridge, Tara saw no good reason to stay alive much longer. Her mother has been deceased since she was nine and her father was a jobless drunk that had fun abusing Tara in every single way. The day Tara finally "quits" her job, she also decides to quit her life the easy way, by jumping off a bridge. But when she jumps off, nothing happens. She was supposed to die...only she didn't. The young woman was saved by the most unlikely creature possible, a mermaid. Instead of swimming Tara back to the surface to live on her life, the sea-girl decides to turn Tarabelle into a mermaid. Now, not only is Tara forced to live in an underwater kingdom full of human fish and has no idea how to adapt, but she also falls for the prince (soon to be king) Taiven. But the mermen is already engaged, and Tara finds out that his bride to be Adara is not what she appears. While all of this happens under sea, back on land Tarabelle's older brother Ridge, attempts to find out what exactly happened to her. He is convinced that his little sister would not commit suicide...or would she? This is the dazzling story about a girl who's life got turned upside down the day she wanted to die. This is the beginning of A Mermaid Tale.

Now he's going to have to live in a world he doesn't understand, he doesn't think is safe, and he knows is discriminatory. He doesn't know any of the rules, but he knows breaking them can come at a cost that few are willing to pay. At least he doesn't have to navigate this mysterious world alone. He has his best friend Lauren, a halfblood fae, to help him learn the ropes. Now, he just has to decide if he can live a secret life-- One that includes: black market magic, underground criminal creatures, deadly weapons, and finally conscription to a corrupt magic council--all because he and the other members of his school were unfortunate enough to be born... Halfbloods Addicted: Cameron the halfblood Selkie and Megan the halfblood Mermaid had more reasons to fear the sea than the dangerous magical world they live in. Both thought they had found a love that nothing could tear apart, but neither had banked on the long perilous year they were about to embark on. A year froth with ancient curses and blood feuds, unbreakable death pacts and magical subterfuge, unstoppable enemies and finally, an addiction born of desperation.
