Murder at a Mermaid Nightclub
The enchanted village of Bijou Mer’s on high alert, with the villainous Horace on the loose. Imogen’s excited to escape the tension with a trip to the underwater Mermaid Kingdom to bake for the young mermaid queen’s engagement to the pirate king.
But when the mermaids turn out to be less French Riviera and more Jersey shore, the bakers are wrapped up in their world of clubbing in sea caves and fighting off seals for the best tanning spots, and are embroiled in a pirate smuggling scandal. It gets worse when a member of the mermaid court is found dead in a fishing net, and one of Imogen and Maple’s baked goods seems to be the murder weapon.
Imogen tries to fish out the real murderer to clear their names, while struggling with her romantic feelings for Hank. At the same time, she’s working with him to learn to control her magic and investigate Horace’s riddle and her own mysterious past.
As the mermaid court’s freewheeling lifestyle rubs off on the bakers, the gang lets loose and passions rise to the surface. But with a giant octopus crawling the ocean floor, the mermaid court filled with simmering secrets and scandals, and the ever present threat of the Badlands Army, Imogen must solve the murder before she ends up fish food herself.

A mermaid queen is marrying a pirate king?

Imogen and her friends are back again in Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnson. In this book, it has been about a week since the carnival left and things are going well for everyone. Or at least as well as anyone can expect with the murders happening around them.

What I like about this book:

  • We finally get to see another kingdom. Or kingdoms. Along with MERPEOPLE! It’s very exciting and they are different.
  • We learn that Shaday is actually a nice person. Especially to Imogen.
  • Imogen is learning more about her magic and it’s refreshing to see that she doesn’t have full control over it.
  • We see Hank and Imogen together more in this book which is nice. I would like them to be a couple.
  • We also learn a bit about Imogen’s history and I can’t wait for more on that.

What I didn’t like about this book:

What I didn’t like was that the young queen mermaid was very flip-floppy with her emotions. I also didn’t like how the gates were used against Imogen. The last thing I didn’t like was how Imogen’s adopted parents handled her situation with her powers. All of these things I don’t like since it’s pretty obvious how bad that hurt is when you read the book.

What I am curious about:

  • Is Imogen’s family apart of the Badlands Army?
  • Is Horace just using Imogen?
  • What actually happened at Monsters Rise?

Five Stars

Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnson is another great book. The author did a different take on the mermaids which is fun to read about. This book was a bit saucy and different from the others which are good. I think everything about this book is great and leaves me wanting more. Especially about Imogen and her past. This book is five stars and I hope Erin Johnson continues writing more wonderful books. I so didn’t want to put it down for any reason but I had to take care of the necessities.

Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
