I read a paranormal romance series about mermaids that got way more intense than I thought it would.

So one of my secret interests is mermaids and I recently stumbled upon a long running mermaid romance series of books called "Merman's Kiss" on Kindle. (Just for clarity since there are two books with the same name, I'm talking about the series by Dee. J Stone)

It's a pretty long series. The first book came out in 2014 and from what I can tell, it's still going on to this day, with multiple spin offs and the latest book in the series released last January.

So I decided, wanting a nice mermaid book to read to try going into the series.

The first book was mostly what I expected. A nice simple romance piece with the conflict coming from mostly character drama. It's pretty cliché but in that endearing way you can't help but like.

Then I read the second book. The stakes escalated a bit, especially with a major moment of mood whiplash, but other than that it seemed pretty standard.

And then the third book happened. And that's the point where the story went off the rails. In a good way.

I don't wanna spoil it but there's a major plot twist during the third book involving the main girl's father and MAN things get intense and crazy after that. Complete with heartbreaking results in the fourth book.

I know I'm being very unspecific here, but that's just because I don't wanna risk spoiling it. Because it really is best if you go in blind. Maybe it was just me but the whole book kept me so on the edge of my seat, that I couldn't stay in. I was walking and pacing while reading from my kindle the whole time. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

I'm aware paranormal romance isn't everyone thing, and it does get a little sickening sweethearts at times (It doesn't get explicit but there's a lot of focus on the two leads make out sessions when they can) but if you don't mind a little spice and thriller in your romance, maybe give this series a shot.
