Beware the Mermaids is a rollicking ride. Laugh-out-loud funny and brimming with heart, you won't want to put it down. Trish Doller, author of Float Plan
With prose as sharp and witty as the heroine, Nancy Hadley herself, Carrie Talick has crafted the perfect female revenge novel. The setting of glittering yachts and ocean front mansions on the Southern California coastline is as carefully depicted as Nancy's friends and enemies, all adding up to a page-turning, engrossing read. Highly recommended! Anita Hughes, author of California Summer
