![]() ![]() mira grant shows her work, and it makes for a much richer story. ![]() she carries science around in her pockets and distributes it like candy throughout her supernatural horror stories and you can't help but nod along and say "yep - seems logical to me!" maybe it's different if you are yourself a scientist, but at the very least, she seems to have done some research which is more than i can say for a lot of less-credible books that skimp on the details and hope the reader doesn't notice. i don't know how well this one stacks up against any of those, but i do know that mira grant's strength has always been with her plausibility. i didn't read any of those, but i knew they existed, and i liked the idea of these predatory mermaids lurking beneath the waves to feast on unsuspecting sailors. and i know that some of these depicted mermaids as really fierce and badass instead of the traditional pretty ladies in shell bikini tops. Oh, mira grant - is there nothing you can't do? i know there was a time, after the glut of post- Twilight vampire knock-off books ran their course through the publishing world, that mermaids seemed to be trying to elbow in to become the new trend. If this was a hoax, it was one of the largest in living memory. ![]()
