adventure mermaid paranormal romance salishsea self-acceptance teen yakima youngadult youngadultromance

If there's a special hell for liars, LEIRA PETERSON (16) earns admittance everyday. It's the price of survival. Born of a Mehr mother and human father, she's erected a wall of deceit to hide the fact that beneath her silky black hair, creamy complexion and long runner's legs, she's a freak. Just add water. If her neck gets wet, gills form, wrenching her voice to operatic highs. When water hits her legs and feet, they transform into shimmery tail fins. She's spent years dodging rain showers and avoiding pools. That's the easy part. More excruciating is withholding the truth from ROWAN (17), the guy who's always been her best friend and is now much more.

Leira dreams of a normal life: college, career and love. The only way this can become a reality, however, is if she undergoes the same alteration her mother did to become human. But mother refuses to reveal where the Mehr live, warning that it's much too dangerous to undergo such a drastic procedure. And so life goes on in Yakima , Washington , the eighth driest city in the U.S.

Until a boating accident on prom night reveals her secret. Now there's only one way to prevent being turned into a lab specimen. That's what they do to freaks, right? She'll have to find the Mehr on her own, and convince them to make her a full-blooded human. But the alteration process is not as dangerous as the Mehr themselves.All Rights Reserved

The Atlantic Legend ~ Part 1 Childhood Days by legendaryfever

"Do you remember those sweet tender days when the only thing I cared about is you? You were my light in the darkness and always were filled with such joyful emotions. Those childhood days, I envy that I had you so close me and now you are so far away. Everything I did, everything how I acted it was all to protect you and now I only wish I done none of that. I rather turn myself in and be with you than make you cry again. You were everything to me and I do not know how you would forgive me. I would not forgive myself either for what I did... I just wish you would wake up and remember this dreary tale before it is too late" ~~~ Atlantic the princess of the Rivalkai Kingdom or perhaps to some she is known as Kaisa Leisen. Who is she exactly? What is her purpose? And was she the one who really tried to sabotage Miracine and Seivon's relationship? Maybe it was someone else entirely... After all many of the mermaids in royalty hate humans or shall I say humanics. What happened to her when she was younger and who did her kingdom give shelter to all that time? Why does she hate that one mermaid so much and how did he changed from when he was younger? And she can't forget the rumors of that one human who might have caught feelings for her. But what happens when she finally sees where her heart truly lies she has two choices: Loose him with major injuries and maybe forever or go in his place and face the pain head on saving her beloved. But no one heard this tale like the Dream the Pacifican Mermaid had because this is only... The Atlantic Legend. ~~~~ *This is the prequel/spinoff of A Mermaid's Dream which takes place before, during, and after AMD. With all our favorite characters from AMD but more...

Waveborn by CherylReifsnyder

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.

Swim Away (Mermaid) by LilitiaCrown

Lara Tsovikian wasn't someone that went out much or engaged in social events. The ocean was the only place where Lara spent most of her time and felt like she belonged. Since moving right by the beach a couple years ago, life hasn't been the same for her. Lara lived with her father for most of her life and barely knew much about her mother. Although she wishes she knew what her mother was like, her father never brought it up. Of course, Lara was curious. Her world turned upside down when she encountered a boy named, Noah Storm. Noah was mysterious and seemed to know more about Lara than she knew herself. But he wasn't the only strange guy in town, and that unknown boy sparks up a forbidden magic that was contained long ago. As introverted as Lara was, would she get consumed in what would soon become of her and change her forever or would these unimaginable secrets isolate her even more?

Species Unknown [Book 2: Pisces) by fantasynote

*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*

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy) by Sharkprose

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.

Mirror by Minnsta

On the brink of self-destruction, Leila struggles to stay afloat with little to no time before she's devoured by her conniving mind. In an effort to save herself once and for all, Leila stands against her strongest obstacle: herself. *** "It was only ever us!" They screamed "When everyone looked the other way; when they turned a blind eye on your tears-on your blood-I was there! I saved us! I saved you!" "No, that's not...stop talking," I pleaded, every word adding more pressure around my head. Draven's breath, suddenly inches away from my face, burns the surface of my skin. "Stop lying to yourself and accept reality for once. You and I both know you'd be dead without me. You should be thanking me. I helped you more than anyone else has." I snapped my eyes to theirs-furious yet overflowing with disappointment. "You'd be dead without me," I seethed through clenched teeth and furrowed eyebrows. "That's the only reason you ever "helped" me stay alive." *** This story contains sensitive and triggering mental health material.
