Description
Once, Hope Payne was a mermaid, performing at the local theme park and captivating audiences young and old. Today, she's married to a pragmatic marine biologist who has filled the pool in their backyard with flounder for a special study. Before he begins, the fish vanish--echoing a loss Hope alone can understand. She senses there's something underwater, something alive and hungry for more, but is she in too deep to ever resurface?Tags

I was fortunate to win this in a Goodreads giveaway. It was a mind opening reading experience. I am a graphic artist and was thrilled to see what an ebook could become and I believe this would be one of the best ways to entice reluctant readers. I have always loved Jodi Picoult's books and enjoyed this little one but wished it was longer. I know there are those readers that prefer to create images in their minds and this was crafted with just enough images that allowed the reader room to imagine on their own.
Has anyone seen these before? It's an animated short story from Kindle. Several pages had very cool graphics. The story was just alright, but what can you ask for when it's such a short story. It was free with Kindle Unlimited. I recommend checking it out just for the animation, story... not so much. Very interesting concept.. 3.5 ⭐️
What did I just read? I am so confused.
