This isn't your average siren story.
Katrín likes her job.
It's simple: seduce and kill a few mainland-ers to stay alive. All she needs is the blood of a measly, puny human once a month. Human blood gives her the strength and magic she needs to be able to survive underwater.
Katrín had a problem, however.
The elders were clear: there are two rules a siren must never break.
1. Only convert human women into sirens
2. Never, under any circumstance, can a siren drink the blood of another supernatural creature.
Katrín really didn't mean to taste the demon, it was purely accidental.
However, she knowingly decided to let him stick around.
Excerpt:
It was a chilly day in Seattle on that particular November morning, but to Katrín, it was the perfect temperature. She was, after all, used to more freezing temperatures than that. She reminded herself to keep an eye out for the "bad apples" in the city, for one of the evil humans will be her meal for the month. Katrín burrowed down inside of her fur jacket, and made sure her sunglasses were sitting snugly on the bridge of her nose. A siren's tell-tale eyes unsettle humans. Siren eyes fade from color to color, touching every spectrum of the rainbow in under a minute. A siren's mood can also affect their eye color.
Anyway, the important thing was that her sunglasses were covering her currently black eyes. Apparently the emotion "hangry" translates to black. Seems legit.
Out of the corner of Katrín's black eyes, she noticed a man bump hard into a woman on the sidewalk. Katrín's sharp, fish-like eyes watched carefully as the man steadied the woman with one hand, but sneaked his other into her purse, slyly grabbing a wallet, and putting said wallet into the pocket of his coat in one fluid motion.
Katrín grinned to herself. She had found her lunch.

My pink little mermaid (HyunBin)
There was something so inexplicable about this beautiful creature before him. The gills on his neck pulsated with the heaving of his chest.

Even In the darkness of the water, the scales glinted and shimmered with hues of pinks and even gold.

His lungs finally gave out on him as he breathed, and inhaled the salty sea around him. Or Changbin is saved by a beautiful merman- and years later, he can return the favor when he finds him injured and unconscious at port.

Species Unknown [Book 2: Pisces)
*MERMAN ROMANCE* Moving from the warm beaches of Oahu to the rocky shores of Monterey, California was supposed to be a fresh start for college graduate Leilani Ono. However, as she starts working for the esteemed genetics laboratory hidden along the chilly California coast, she realizes that her attempt at escaping her past has actually thrown her deep into a web of convoluted lies, mad scientists, and the horrors of human experimentation. ~*~ Gripped with panic, I turned away only to come face to face with the very thing I tried to run from. I gasped, stumbling back. Its face was shadowed, but I could still see the outline of its features. Illuminated by the reflection of the stars, I could see the sharp jawline and steely eyes that regarded me. A face that, even in the dark of night, was distinctly masculine. "Why are you here." A chilling voice seethed from the shadows. It was as cold as the night around us, with a slight hiss that was threatening enough to send my heart racing even faster. ~*~ #1 in EXPERIMENT #1 in MERPEOPLE #1 in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1 in OCEAN The second book in the Species Unknown series. Can easily be read as a stand-alone novel but I recommend reading Book 1: Aves first for more context. *COMPLETED*Complete
