Werewolf Loves Mermaid, by Heather Lindsley

Humorous slipstream tale about a romance between a werewolf and a mermaid in the real world.

Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

A lot of the humor revolves around the absurdity of a mermaid living in a modern city. Exactly how does she storm out of a hotel room? Much of the rest is from the hapless Dave, werewolf's alter-ego who isn't into mermaids.

Probably funnier if you're under 30, it's still a great laugh with references to everything from Twilight to The Little Mermaid

  1. I got the references to Twilight and other mermaid stories (and I am over 30), but I still did not find it that funny.

    To some extent, humor is a personal preference.
