Mermaid Mimosa

Mermaid Mimosa by Gina LaManna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very satisfying ending to this 8 book series. It ends with even more world-building in the form of the mermaids, but does manage to tie together all the folks we’ve met along the way.

At the end of the last book we knew Lily’s life was about to get complicated again (or continue to be complicated?). What should have been a relaxing day ended up getting Lily pulled into some mermaid drama. Their king was poisoned and an uprising is brewing - building on some clues from the previous installment. Why can’t Ranger X be the one who fixes all this? Well, it of course requires a single person to eat a strawberry tasting thing to breathe underwater then detective out the type of poison so they can brew an antidote.

Pulling that together with some very random breakup hijinks, while also managing her Liam and daddy issues, Lily does a great job multi-tasking. There’s a lot of pull through from previous books, showing that it was worth it, how we got here. One missing element that bothered me until the very last page? X’s family! We met a powerful spell-maker yet we never use him in any capacity and I can’t tell if they even resolved that divide in the end. Bummer. All the other elements, thought, perfect. Every character gets to help fix the future and build a very satisfying end for them all.
