Poor Fred…as if being a mermaid wasn’t enough, she now is in the spotlight as the undersea folks come out to the human world and she is their spokesperson. Add the fact that she finally decided between hunky human marine biologist, Thomas and Artur, the High Prince of the Black Sea, Fred finds her life turned to chaos in a blink of an eye. Combine the appearance of her long lost father and a civil war erupting among the merfolk, all Fred wants to do is crawl under a rock and hide from it all.

FISH OUT OF WATER is the final book from Ms. Davidson on her delightful Fred the Mermaid trilogy. Here we find Fred thrust in an unwelcome spotlight for the merpeople and the mayhem that involves when being in said spotlight has her wishing for a place away from merfolks, politics and men. With the right touch of humor, quick wit and characters that keep you laughing, Ms. Davidson delivers an adventure that will keep you highly entertained and asking for more.

I love this series and found Fred to be a character that is a riot. She is independent, loves her friends and wonders why she cannot get Thomas, the human marine biologist out of her mind or heart. Full of contradictions, Fred is one of the most charming characters to date. Add in some secondary characters that keep you enthralled and you have the makings of a story that will be one fun filled ride. Ms. Davidson delivers a fun, lighthearted romp through the land and sea as she finds her past, present and future collide as the climactic ending races among the pages of FISH OUT OF WATER.

With her trademark writing style, Ms. Davidson pens a story that delivers the reader on one wild ride and leaves you gasping for more. If you haven’t read any of Fred’s Adventures, then run to the nearest bookstore/library and check them out. This is truly a series that will have you giggling in a matter of minutes. Highly recommended and worth re-reading again.
