The Mers: A Mermaid
DystopianBy Ami Blackwelder
Book 1 Mer Chronicles
What lies beneath the surface?
One hundred years from now, the world has changed and brought with it, new forms of life.
Who are the Mers? Who is Mira?
Mira always knew she was different. Growing up with Mers, she never quite fit in. When Mira breaks the rules and takes Niren across the border that divides Ellis Island and New Jersey, a border that divides two vastly different worlds, she thought the journey to find out who she really is would be an easy one.
But as the world in Jersey proves to be a convoluted mix of Aristocrats who hate the Mers, Pirates who want to sell them, and Magi who want to use them...finding her true identity will be a challenge, especially when her best friend Niren is a Mer willing to fight to the death.

I was scheduled to have a review ready this morning, but had some major technical difficulties with my Nook, and can only read for so long on the computer screen. So, I will be posting the full review once I have the book completed. I'm currently about two thirds of the way through and it is fantastic so far. Mira is a fascinating character and it is great to watch her search for her birth parents and learn so much about their world. The divide between the human and mer lands is great and nothing is quite like Mira thought it would be.
