Title: Deep Breath (A Falling in Deep Collection Novella) Author: J.M. Miller
Publication Date: June 16th 2015
Plot: Before disappearing at sea, Marissa Pruitt’s father—a once revered marine archaeologist—walked the line of insanity, claiming to have seen a mermaid during an ordinary dive in the Gulf of Mexico. He abandoned his life and career, completely obsessed with chasing the truth.
It’s been years since his death, and Marissa is still tormented by countless unanswered questions. When she finds dive coordinates and a stone pendant hidden in her father’s things, she asks for help from his old protégé and sets out to give her father one last goodbye and maybe find closure for her troubled heart. Instead, she finds the truth he’d been searching for all along, with a life and love she never could have imagined. But there’s a price to see it all, one set by betrayal and paid with an anchor at her feet and salt water in her lungs.
☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆
Deep Breath was author JM Miller's own twist on mermaid forklore.
A book novella, it covers the story of Marissa, trying to find answers about her late father.
After losing her mom to cancer, Marissa stumbles upon a pendant her father hid away and finds herself merging the lines between land and sea.
I have to say that this was quite different from typical mermaid stories that I've come across and was intrigued with the Mitad Sermivida- half-lives.
A very cool spin on mermaids involving love,
treachery, loyalty, and taking control of your own destiny--
Although, the event that happened at the end was pretty brutal. Cruel, even if completely warranted.
I understood that it needed to happen, and well, was karma...but, it kinda stuck in my mind for a while since it dwindles over one of my greatest fears.
All in all, a MUST READ!
