I was so surprisingly taken by this book! Immediately after reading the Prologue, I could feel the spookiness of the story. There is something about a good mermaid story that I've always loved and I can put this on the top of my list of favorites. Be wary of spoilers on other reviews because there is another aspect of the story that I wish I hadn't been expecting previously based on my reading of other reviews. It may not seem like a spoiler at the time, but I would've enjoyed the story more without knowing about it.
