A cute story with a twist on the usual shifter tale. I liked it a lot.

A disappointing read. I'm honestly surprised that the author has written a NYT bestseller, because everything about this story felt clunky: heavy-handed exposition, stilted dialogue, and an abundance of telling rather than showing. The story tried far too hard to be quirky and cool, and ended up coming off as a poseur instead. I think the length worked against it, as well; doubling or perhaps tripling the length would've given the author a chance to be more subtle and leisurely in sketching out the universe for the reader.

Great story, adorable characters. Recommended quick read. If you enjoyed her novels, you'll enjoy this (although this story is sent in a different world, it has rather similar sensibilities).

I loved this. Gail Carriger's writing is fabulous in any context. Reading an M-M romance involving merpeople was something new to me. I loved the interplay of the different fantasy creatures and their habits and it was a wonderful quick read.

I had to read this, I mean how often does merpeople and werewolfs end up in the same story?
I loved the story and it's twists. I laughed and I grinned like an idiot while reading this, and it's definitely worth the price!

I bought this short story on a whim because gay werewolf/merman couple and MERPEOPLE and WERWOLVES and THIS IS EVERYTHING I LIKE.
I laughed out loud many times. I don't much like the whole 'werewolves turn into slathering beasts once a month' that Carriger puts in her werewolf universes, but it's easy enough to overlook due to the humour and the enjoyability of the world she writes in. The merpeople are very interesting--as are the selkies. Like all really good short stories, this one ends with only one thing resolved, and several more threads dangling with possiblity that is only implied. A really great read, I must say, and well worth the dollar I paid for it.
