Just couldn't finish this one. I think I'm calling it quits on this series. It required me to suspend my disbelief a little too much for me to maintain. Specifically the juvenile nature of what's supposed to be adult relationships. I don't know. I just couldn't.

A mermaid queen is marrying a pirate king?
Imogen and her friends are back again in Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnson. In this book, it has been about a week since the carnival left and things are going well for everyone. Or at least as well as anyone can expect with the murders happening around them.
What I like about this book:
• We finally get to see another kingdom. Or well kingdoms. Along with MERPEOPLE! It’s very exciting and they are different.
• We learn that Shaday is actually a nice person. Especially to Imogen.
• Imogen is learning more about her magic and it’s refreshing to see that she doesn’t have full control over it.
• We see Hank and Imogen together more in this book which is nice.
• We also learn a bit about Imogen’s history and I can’t wait for more on that.
What I didn’t like about this book:
What I didn’t like was that the young queen mermaid was very flip-floppy with her emotions. I also didn’t like how the gates were used against Imogen. The last thing I didn’t like was how Imogen’s adopted parents handled her situation with her powers. All of these things I don’t like since it’s obvious how bad that hurt is when you read the book.
What I am curious about:
• Is Imogen’s family apart of the Badlands Army?
• Is Horace just using Imogen?
• What actually happened at Monsters Rise?
Five Stars
Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnson is another great book despite taking me a bit longer than I did last time. The author did a different take on the mermaids which is fun to read about. This book was a bit saucy and different from the others which are good. I think everything about this book is great and leaves me wanting more. Especially about Imogen and her past. This book is five stars and I hope Erin Johnson continues on writing more wonderful books. I so didn’t want to put it down for any reason but I had to so that I could take the dog for a walk.
Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by

The main story was delightful, including a diverse and fun cast of magical characters.
We find out more about Imogen or Red Bull🤣😭 birth family.
My problem????
This includes rather medieval-esque harmful stereotypes regarding the Roma folks.
I think the author is from the USA and perhaps is ignorant about the brutal and oppressive ongoing history of the Roma folks across Europe.
Either way it's uncomfortable, unnecessary and frankly ruined an otherwise fun novel.

First, I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review. This is not a genre I ordinarily listen to. Our primary character is a woman who bakes who had been moved into a magical realm. She discovers she has magic and is learning how to use it while baking for the castle denizens and crushing on the prince.
So, what did I think? I LOVE the characters. Going to a mermaid kingdom was interesting and blowsy new queen was a riot. What didn't I like? The plot went along like a Saturday morning cartoon. Fairly choppy. I had to go back sometimes and relisten because I got lost. Still enjoying the series. The narrator is a joy to listen to - enthusiastic throughout the book. You can tell she enjoys the characters.

Hard to get into
I loved the beginning and the end but unfortunately the middle dragged a bit. Not enough to make me stop but enough thy I felt impatient. I do love the small doses of the overarching plot being sprinkled through.

Not my favourite in the series so far, but there were really good reveals that will move the overarching plot a long.
I dearly love this series.
