Histoire
Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.

Histoire
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Histoire
Tavia is already at odds with the world, forced to keep her siren identity under wraps in a society that wants to keep her kind under lock and key. Nevermind she's also stuck in Portland, Oregon, a city with only a handful of black folk and even fewer of those with magical powers. At least she has her bestie Effie by her side as they tackle high school drama, family secrets, and unrequited crushes.

Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.

Imagine a job where you work four days a week and earn as much as the CEO. You also get full benefits, a gym membership, free lunch, and unlimited time off, no questions asked. Hard-won profits don’t just end up in the CEO’s pocket—they’re distributed equally among all employees. The company even buys you your very own car. It sounds too good to be true, but this is the reality at Tunnel Vision, the clothing company that Madeline Pendleton built from the ground up.

Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The must-hear Black mermaid fantasy series that #1 NYT bestselling author Nicola Yoon calls “epic and original,” in which one mermaid takes on the gods themselves. Perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and anyone who can't wait for the live-action The Little Mermaid.
“Riveting.”—NPR
“Evocative.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Remarkable.”—Buzzfeed
A way to survive.
A way to serve.
A way to save.
Simi prayed to the gods, once. Now she serves them as Mami Wata—a mermaid—collecting the souls of those who die at sea and blessing their journeys back home.
But when a living boy is thrown overboard, Simi goes against an ancient decree and does the unthinkable—she saves his life. And punishment awaits those who dare to defy the gods.
To protect the other Mami Wata, Simi must journey to the Supreme Creator to make amends. But all is not as it seems. There's the boy she rescued, who knows more than he should. And something is shadowing Simi, something that would rather see her fail . . .
Danger lurks at every turn, and as Simi draws closer, she must brave vengeful gods, treacherous lands, and legendary creatures. Because if she fails, she risks not only the fate of all Mami Wata, but also the world as she knows it.

Beautiful story about culture and sacrifice
SKIN OF THE SEA is a fresh and welcome take on the story of original Little Mermaid fairytale, and one that I deeply enjoyed. It combines folklore with magic and is helmed by a strong young woman looking to protect those around her.
After rescuing a young man from the sea, breaking an age old pact with the gods, a mermaid named Simi must travel to the most powerful being of all to make amends.
Simi is a brilliant character, one who is selfless and compassionate, yet strong and even curious about who she is. I truly enjoyed her journey as she travelled with Kolo, the boy she saved and who has his own secrets.
The story is perfect for anyone who enjoys learning about orishas and the culture surrounding them. It’s told beautifully and succinctly, which made me feel like I was learning something at the same time I was enjoying a well written book.
SKIN OF THE SEA is filled with adventure, action and magic, and I felt constantly engaged. While Simi and Kolo did have plenty of chemistry, I found their romance to be a little rushed in some places.
This is a gorgeous book that is well written, fresh, and definitely underrated. Perfect for fans of The Little Mermaid and can be read as a standalone, if desired. Though personally, I am looking forward to the next book!

I love the twining of folklore and history. I went down several delightful rabbit holes researching creatures and characters. Beautifully narrated too. I was always annoyed when I had to charge my ear buds 😅
