Saving Her Selkie

by Lore Nicole

When mermaid Ula meets an old friend on the beach, she learns that he is her fated mate. This wouldn't be an issue, except that he is a selkie who lost his skin. He also knew they were meant to be mates before she did and told her father, the king. When Ula learns what her father did about it, will she be able to forgive him? Can she figure out how to help her fated mate, and be with him too?

Another "stuff your kindle" wonder. Ula, a mermaid, suddenly stumbles across a former-selkie and is immediately drawn to him (insta-love) and finds out her dad banished him years ago. He's a half-breed, you see, and fate knew they were going to hook up. So dad banishes him so they just never see one another. Whoops. Sigh.

Not really a romance (no steamy scenes).

Not really that amazing in terms of a story. Predictable. Sparks a lot of Little Mermaid memories. It was a nice, quick read though.

This was a short read with an interesting enough concept. However the execution was lacked - the dialogue felt unnatural (especially between Jet & Caspian) and the ending was ridiculously anticlimactic. Also it's described as New Adult in the Kindle title but the MC is 17? Also on her age, how old is Caspian since it seemed that he reached maturity in order to feel the fated mate link when she was 12??

Nicely Different Mermaid Story

The story started off on a seemingly predictable path. Although the story was fairly short, there was time for good character development and a chance to watch Ula grow from a naive, coddled princess into a powerful heir to the throne.

This was an enjoyable read that kept my interest from start to end.

I thought this was a cute little mermaid retelling but calling it a “romance”—even a clean one—is a little weird because it doesn’t focus on that much. Just the fact that they have a “fated bond” and they have to get him back to the sea. I would say it’s more like a fairytale or a fantasy retelling but not really romantic. Cute but also too fast paced for a dynamic or gripping plot.

I enjoyed reading this.

This was the first book I read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It is short but it's still good.
