Description
A spare princess. A shipwrecked prince. A secret love... and a deadly spell.
Linnea is used to being overlooked--and resigned to taking religious vows instead of making a brilliant marriage like her beautiful older sister. But everything changes when she discovers a half-drowned prince on the shore outside the convent. A tentative attraction blooms into something deeper, freeing Linnea to seek a new life... and her heart's desire. But when tragedy strikes, she must battle the most powerful magic of the sea to save the man she loves from certain death.
Inspired by "The Little Mermaid," this novella is the first entry in my new Tales Retold series. There's more than one road to Happy Ever After...

Little Mermaid retellings are one of my weaknesses, so I was excited to start reading this novella. It did not disappoint, though for the first part I was admittedly a little confused at first at how mermaids were going to fit into the plot. The pieces all started falling into place around a third of the way into the book.
My favorite part of this was the author's unique spin on the story. I've read a lot of Little Mermaid retellings, but I actually don't think I've read one written from this point of view. This made the overall tone much more bittersweet than other retellings I've read.
This was my first book by Pamela Sherwood, and I will definitely be reading future books in the series. (The next book is based off of Goose Girl, another of my weakness!)
Content: No language and mostly clean with some fade-to-black scenes
