This is the third and final book in the Fred the Mermaid series.

Fred is the go-between for all “surface-dwellers” and undersea folk. She talks to all the reporters and does all the interviews and answers most of the mermaid questions.

She also gets an official proposal from Artur.

King Mekkam notices the strange disappearance of a good portion of his mermaids and can’t quite place the cause.

Jonas is annoyingly chipper and demands a lot of Fred’s attention as he plans the wedding to Dr. Barb.

Fred is beyond stressed, when her father returns to make an effort in getting to know her and apologizes to the king. Which you can imagine only increases her stress level.

What good would a family reunion be without Dr. Thomas? It’s a good way to end the series.

I absolutely loved the banter between Fred, Jonas, and Thomas in the last few chapters. It made an extremely tense situation, supremely humorous.

This is the second book in the Fred the Mermaid series. It’s been a year since Fred has seen either Thomas or Artur, but life for the most part has returned to normal.

Jonas and Dr. Barb are still together and mating like rabbits. Fred is still working at the aquarium. Both Thomas and Artur have not contacted her once in the year that has passed.

Fred is then summoned to the Cayman Islands for a “family reunion” or a gathering of all undersea folk, led by the King to decide the fate of all the mermaids.

It’s an opportunity to discover her heritage, more about the dirt bag biological father, but also an opportunity to see both Prince Artur and Dr. Thomas again.

Fred needs to make a decision between the two but the choice becomes more and more obvious.

Jonas is invited to the hearing as well but his presence is obnoxious. He can really get under your skin.

I liked Thomas and Jonas each a little less after reading this book, however King Mekkam is just plain awesome! He’s the bees-knees. Love his use of the English language.

It’s a nice segue into the final book of the trilogy.

This is the first book in the Fred the Mermaid series.

Fred is a half-mermaid, half-human cross with green hair and super strength. She works as a marine biologist in Boston and keeps her mermaid self a secret. She only grows her tail when she knows that no human will see it. She can live and breathe under water, the same as she would on land, so no one is the wiser.

Fred does her job and minds her business. She has very few friends and mostly keeps to herself. Until Thomas walks into her life and requires her help in solving the pollution issue at the lake.

At roughly the same time, Artur shows up and claims he needs her help for the same reasons, and it’s not long before the three form a love triangle. Does Fred choose the Thomas the handsome doctor, or Artur the royal mermaid? Either way, her life will never be the same.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It’s a quick read and a lot of fun. But for a story about mermaids, very little takes place under water.

If you enjoyed the Queen Betsy series by Davidson, you will enjoy these mermaid tales as well!
