Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Amanda D.

"Midnight Pearls" is about a mermaid named Pearl who only knew that her hair was abnormaly pale, her legs were really long, and her hair like that of silver. She lives with her foster parents by the sea. Her only friend is James, the prince. One day while Pearl and James are out on a boat, it capsizes. Pearl makes it ashore, and James is rescued by a mermaid. The mermaid then becomes human by the Sea Witch and must get a marriage proposal from the prince or she'll die. Her brother, Kale, that was with her recognizes Pearl as Adriana, his bethrothed from years ago. He also becomes human, but is blind and must find his bethrothed. With the mermaid trying to catch James, and Kale trying to reclaim Pearl, the story goes in many different ways.

I like this book and highly recommend it to mermaid lovers like myself. I like that it had the "Little Mermaid" thing with the prince and the mute mermaid with twists from the author's imagination.
