Product Description Fred the Mermaid has taken the bait and chosen to date Artur, Prince of the Black Sea, over human marine biologist Thomas. And just in time. The existence of the Undersea Folk is no longer a secret, and someone needs to keep them from floundering in the media spotlight. Fred has all the right skills for that job, but has a hard time when her real father surfaces and tries to overthrow Arturs regime.

Four Stars. January 9, 2009 Huntress Reviews (United States) Fred the mermaid's life has gotten entirely too interesting. Granted, she no longer has to worry about exposing her secret since the Undersea folk have made themselves public, but now the masses of ordinary humans who don't grow tails when they hit the water are fascinated by merfolk and Fred has become something of a celebrity now. Furthermore, she has to help plan a wedding, thankfully not her own, but there's a certain prince pressuring her to do that, too. Then, there's the situation with her natural father, who turns out to be not dead after all, her other potential paramour coming back to town, and the little matter of Undersea folk suddenly disappearing.
**** Can Fred hope for happily ever after? She's certainly no shrinking violet "little mermaid" type, but she's just as much fun in a different way. Snappy, sardonic humor is Ms. Davidson's trademark, and she does not disappoint her fans in Fish. The only drawback is seeing the series end, but knowing when to call a halt is a strength. Though the story does hint at sensuality, there is nothing nearing erotic content, so this is a perfect novel for those who have moved beyond her Jennifer Scales series but are not ready for Queen Betsy or some of the more provocative titles. ****

Fish Out of Water (Fred the Mermaid, Book 3) Fascinating read as are all of MJD's books.
FRED IS AT AN END December 24, 2008 Rae McDivitt (Iowa, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book made me laugh. The main character is lacking in every social grace, but it is commical. There were some darker moments in this book, which I won't go into, but these moments did cause me to wonder about the way MJD is going with her writing. Those of you that have read the last book in the Betsy series saw her put a dark twist in that book. I hope she stays away from this in the future. The one thing that I have always loved about MJD, is her ability to make me laugh. So all in all this was a good book.
