The Perfect Waters: Contaminated Waters: Book One
Twenty-five years ago, Princess Odessa and her beloved hounds saved the waters from an evil that had them gripped in fear for centuries, and they've been perfect ever since.
Until now.
With her three grown children returning to the waters, it's an exciting time for all, but their happiness is short lived when an unknown substance begins to threaten their very existence.
With the help of her family, O'Asia must now work to get to the bottom of what's trying to harm them, but can they do it alone, or will they need the help of an all-seeing, all-knowing woman up on land?

About the author
LeeSha McCoy
71 books231 followersMother. Author. Wellness Blogger.
Lover of Music. Believer of Romance. Dirty Minded.
LeeSha McCoy is the author of all things African American Romance. She released her first book in 2012 and currently writes African American Urban Romance, Paranormal, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romantic Comedy, and Steamy Contemporary Romance under the pen name Karmen Kane.
With over 40 books published to date, representation is important to her, so you will always find positive representations of black men and women in her books, with a focus on family bonds, growth, and above all, strong fiery heroines and the heroes that love the hell out of them for it.
Writing novels that make her readers 'feel' is her mission; she does not just write stories to be read, but for her readers to experience. As someone who has lived through many up and downs in her personal life, she uses those experiences in all of her stories, priding herself on the realism in her work, regardless of genre.
She began writing in the late 90's, although it was mostly song lyrics she wrote to escape her loneliness. As one of only a handful of bi-racial children living in her small hometown of Banbury, she struggled to make friends and to be accepted, so she spent most of her childhood alone.
She currently lives in England, but her family is spread all across the United States, including the states of Baltimore, Colorado, and Texas.
As a mother to four beautiful children, she spends her spare time playing Roblox and finding new places to walk with them, helping others discover self-love through her wellness blog, binge reading dirty romances, or watching food review shows on YouTube.

Another five star read
I was so happy and excited to have a continuation of The Perfect Waters series. If I'm honest I feel the same whenever LeeSha honors us with her work. It was wonderful to catch up with the next generation of merms and hounds. Then to have the mysterious friend at the end be a familiar face to those of us who read all of LeeSha's was a game changer. So looking forward to the next and final book in the series. As always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

everyone’s back in the water
So the kids are back for good. They’re also grown and can’t wait to get their lives started under the sea. New powers, new love interests, old flames, and new threats to the seas. Humans are seriously harming the environment and may have to suffer some consequences.
I’m so glad we’re getting another couple of books added to the series to give us an update on the family and the kids.
Looking forward to the next book.
Great read!

Amazing page turner
This was a great read. I can't believe their all grown up. I love how they all want to help the waters and they have found their mates. I can't wait to find out if Micheal gets out of his own way so that he can make the both happy. Aisa is great at what she does can't wait to see what she comes up with

Must Read!!!!
As always, she never ceases to amaze me! I love this series and experiencing the development of the kids. The pacing is great and the opportunity to develop a better understanding of their magical evolution and love lives was extra special. I can’t wait for the next book!

Loved it
Wow I just love how the children grew up. They are similar to their parents but, so different. I hope Michael gets it together so him and the princess can be together . I have a feeling that the other Mermaid is going to be a problem and that female Hound is going to tare her to pieces. Overall this series is just a good as the first.

Yass my girl delivered!!
As always Leesha has delivered on her promise of a fantastic African American paranormal story. I love all of her stories from paranormal to just regular romance. And I love how strong she makes the women in her stories but making sure to point out that there would be no strong woman without the strong man behind her! Keep up the good work 😘

Oh, how I’ve missed The Waters!
Queen O’Asia and Prince Zale’s children are all grown, trying to figure out life. They take us on the their emotional ride with them. I really enjoyed getting to know children and their mates. LeeSha has a way of allowing you to see yourself in her characters. Can’t wait for Book 4!

Go for who you love
This book here waa damn good. I'm so glad all the kids followed their true feelings and went after who they wanted. Far as Michael and Hali can't wait to see what transpires between those two. Definitely can't wait for the next book.

Loving that the kids are all grown up!
I'm hooked on the Mermaids, there I said it. Asia and Zale have three grown children, grown, grown too! Now taking care of the waters is a family affair.
