As my craziest year in high school unfolded, I learned a lot about mermaids and eventually, I would become one. But at the start of my senior year, I knew nothing about the supernatural Sea Witch world, just that they existed, and I was not one of them, not that I cared.

I had too much going on in my life to worry about that stuff. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Let me start from the beginning. In my school, Sea Breeze High, I’m not one of those cheerleader types—no way.

I’m more of a stay-at-home-and-read-a-book type. So, when Zayne, the cutest guy I’ve ever seen in real life, invited me to his party, I should have said no.

If I did, I would have avoided all the chaos and danger that followed. But if I did that, I wouldn’t have become who I am today.

The problem is, I had been playing it safe. But this year, I wanted to branch out and try new things, and that scared me worse than having to walk through a crowd of Sea Witches who had their gills out during an argument.

Rule number one in Sea Witch High was mind your business. Rule number two was no fighting.

I’m sure there was a third rule, but since my dad was a supernatural and my mom was a regular, I knew how to keep a low profile. That’s why I stuck to my books and art.

I guess the best day to begin this story was that boring Wednesday at school. It was lunchtime and pouring rain outside.

It was like any other day in Fort Pierce, hot and boring. A teen girl embarks on an adventurous journey after uncovering hidden secrets at her high school, only to discover that the ocean holds its own perilous mysteries, including mermaids and shapeshifters.

Dive into a world where not all mermaids are friendly; some can be quite malevolent. Renny's life takes a twist when she learns about her sea-bound heritage, navigating between the ocean's beauty and the chaos of high school.

Magically Mean Mermaids is the first book in the Sea Witch High young adult fantasy romance two book series. If you like twists and turns, intrigue, and memorable characters, then you’ll love this exciting book by Isabelle Hardesty.
