Fred the Mermaid Series by MaryJanice Davidson

I have found that once I like an author I try to read EVERYTHING they've ever written and so after my Queen Betsy/Wyndham Werewolf read-a-thon I found myself trying to find everything MJD has. And I did.

The next series of hers I dove into was Fred the Mermaid. Fred is a girl and a mermaid (or as they prefer Underwater People).

I was very sad to find out that this series is only a trilogy.

The books follow Fred, a marine biologist/biped/mermaid, who finds love, a prince, a biped (ha human) and learns more of her Mer-side. It was refreshing read considering I've mostly follow Vampires and Weres. The idea of Underwater People was different and the characters themselves were funny.

I'd recommend these books if your looking for a quick read that is non vampire related.

Reading order:


Book 1 - Sleeping with Fishes
Book 2 - Swimming without a Net
Book 2.5 - Surviors (found in Dead over Heels Betsy/Werewolf collection)
Book 3 - Fish out of water
