Kirkus review:

"A lighthearted novel that simultaneously features heavy environmental themes, multifaceted characters, and lots of charm. Holman weaves elements of humor, magic, romance, and environmental activism in a quirky ocean-set romantasy."

The ocean is dying, and it falls to a mermaid to save it.

The Mers are barely surviving in a magical marine bubble, isolated from the rest of the world. Jelly, warrior mermaid and hardened champion of sea life, is sworn to battle against the choking, accelerating pollution.

When the black pearl at Jelly's throat wakes and opens her mind to terrifying premonitions, she realizes her only choice is to leave the ocean and collaborate with the estranged magical beings of land. A woman haunts her dark visions, abducted for the power in her veins, and Jelly might just be the key to this woman's freedom, and the salvation of the world.

As fate sends Jelly on a tumultuous journey, changing her life forever, will she survive the challenges of the surface?

This is not the Little Mermaid you grew up with.

Joline Lim for Reedsy Discovery - 5 stars and Must Read:

"The Mermaid's Wrath by Andie Holman is a fiercely original eco-fantasy that blends mythology, rage, and activism into a sharp, heartfelt narrative… This book gives off the vibes of Moana meets The Hunger Games, with a dash of Princess Mononoke. Imagine a Studio Ghibli world, but darker and heavier with the weight of ecological collapse, and a heroine who's had enough of pretending everything's fine. It's beautifully furious, tender in all the right places, and deeply necessary."
