Kirkus review: “A lighthearted novel that simultaneously features heavy environmental themes, multifaceted characters, and lots of charm. Holman weaves elements of humor, magic, romance, and environmental activism in a quirky ocean-set romantasy.” Editorial review: "The Mermaid's Wrath is a debut romantasy I couldn't read fast enough. This is not the little mermaid you grew up on. The world-building is intricate and makes this story come alive. A brilliant read from start to finish. 5 stars." - N.N.
