I'm finally reading a book about merpeople! It's a review copy of Florence by the self-published author, Ciye Cho. I'm really enjoying his merpeople lore and the world he's created in the Darkness of the ocean. Here's a teaser:

A voice interrupted my thoughts. "Every being must have a role in Niemela. A purpose and a reason for being," said Rolan in a low, even tone. I turned to see him floating above me, his eyes focused on the warriors outside. "But there is no role for a human in our world..." His gaze settled on me, and though his voice was calm, the threat in his eyes was unmistakable. "... And to exist without a role is a most dangerous predicament," he added.

I've honestly been sucked into this book, and the underwater world of Niemela. It's a fascinating place. Not only is the setting amazing, but the characters have totally caught my attention as well! I can't wait to see how this one will end.

Feel free to share your teasers with me. I'd love to see what you're reading!
