Ripples & Waves by L.A. Witt

Ripples & Waves by L.A. Witt

4 stars — This was a solid emotional and entertaining Little Mermaid retelling.  Thankfully without the tragedy of the original (sort of spoiler, but I’d want to know). I loved the way that the Mer were portrayed, especially that they didn’t look exactly like humans with tails — just little things like the gills, and […]

3.5 stars — While this one had some ups and downs for me, I was still compelled by the story…so much so I stayed up until 3am finishing it. Wendy was a bit harder to connect with in this one.  Because of her loss of memories, we actually lost a lot of what connected us […]
