"I had always loved the water ... but that was before I found out that grown men could grow tails and breathe under it." 

A voyage gone wrong.

After Vivian Rhodes finds herself on a trip out into the Caribbean Sea, the last thing she expected was to wind up in a shipwreck with nothing but a bag and wet sneakers to wash up on an island alongside of her. As if having her ride sink to the bottom of the ocean wasn't bad enough, the place she finds herself washing ashore of isn't exactly Five-Star vacation quality. 

It's dark, it's cold, and when night falls it becomes apparent that the island isn't at all coconuts and palm fronds. She's a marine biologist, one of the best, but not even Vivian could have prepared herself for the danger lurking within the depths of the ocean. 

Especially after he washes up on shore ... and brings forth a chaos that will wreak havoc on more than just the island.

Tides of Fire and Song by 3rach4ss

The ocean is dying. Its once-harmonious song has turned into a discordant cry, the balance between life and destruction unraveling with each passing tide. Felix, a mermaid with a rare gift, can hear the ocean's pain-but he is powerless to heal it alone. Hyunjin, a siren born without the lethal voice of his kin, has spent his life as an outcast, caught between power and vulnerability. When fate draws them together, their voices entwine in an ancient melody, one that whispers of prophecy, sacrifice... and the possibility of something greater than either of them. Bound by a mission that could save or destroy them, Felix and Hyunjin must brave the ocean's deepest secrets-while resisting the pull of a bond neither of them can afford. Because the sea does not grant love freely. And its price may be too high to pay.

Kiara Vatelle's love of the ocean brings her to The Bahamas for her senior trip. It is her dream vacation - four weeks of sun, sand, and quality time with her sister.

After swimming a little too far from the shore, Kiara finds herself in an ancient, undersea realm of mythical sea creatures. This new world is enchanting, and the mer-folk treat her like family, but are they just a little too eager for her to stay? From the ancient Kingdom of Oamer, to the hide-out of Pisces and Nereids, to a cursed Island and Tocona Isla, the odds seem to be against Kiara. Because even if she outwits those standing in her path, the seas always have their own plans. A tale of shady mermaids, astrological guardians, and a summer ocean adventure. ✧Second Draft ✧Cover by @_Foxicious ───｡ﾟ ♆ ﾟ｡─── ⚓︎ Featured | @talesofthedeep - Fintastic Reads ~ Sea Creatures ⚓︎ Featured | @mythandlegend - Atlantis and Legends on the Sea ⚓︎ Featured | @StoriesUndiscovered - November/ December 2020 ⚓︎ Finalist | @Fantasy Every Day in May contest 2019 ⚓︎ Honorable Mention | @PsychologicalNovel Reads Contest 2020
