Synopsis
Why does Gia kill her lovers?
Dive into the extremely glamorous life of Gia Acquaviva, an ultra-rich Venetian mogul with a portfolio of clubs and casinos around the globe. Gia harbors dark secrets––and an underwater graveyard filled with the bones of her former lovers.
Her family’s roots descend from the mythological sirens of ancient Greece, but she's taken every precaution to protect her anonymity and the existence of other mermaids. Gia lures in men with a beguiling façade, but inside lurks a deeply troubled soul, severely damaged by a mysterious past.
Despite her sinister desires, she longs for true intimacy and believes she may have found her match in Cameron Langley, a successful London-based banker and dead ringer for Chris Hemsworth. He offers Gia her first real opportunity for lasting love. They share an intensely passionate, deeply sensual connection… but is her growing affection for new lover enough to lull the murderous cravings she feels building within?
Fans of Killing Eve and Big Little Lies will love Mermaid of Venice, a sexy psychological thriller with lush fantasy elements. The setting is modern day Europe with all the chic locales, hot spots and vistas of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley and a juicy splash of the lavish lifestyle in E. L. James’s 50 Shades series. This is not the Little Mermaid you grew up with. Gia's out for blood.
Mermaid of Venice is the first installment in a series of 6 books about Gia Acquaviva.
My Thoughts
This is the first novel of Mermaid of Venice, a series paranormal romance books written by Jincey Lumpkin. I believe it is her first paranormal novel. It’s a great book!
I purchased this book a while ago but was yet to write a review. I've reread Mermaid of Venice several times in the meanwhile and it has a firm place in my Favourites folder. The author's book is well written and the interplay between the male and female is humorous, in depth and full of steam without taking too much away from the story. Gia was a mostly likeable character. She's strong, independent and has tonnes of attitude to throw around.
The action in the book is fast and exhilarating making the story a real page turner , characters are all intriguingly flawed and have weaknesses as well as strengths. fantasy world and the action parts of the story making it a book that will satisfy a wide female audience. It is an exciting, original and well written book. I always get excited when the first book of a new series is this good because it makes me hopefully optimistic that further books on this series will be equally good.
I must say that you will definitely lose yourself in this world; it is different, creative, dark, violent, and flat-out amazing. Hold on tight for an intriguing, adrenaline-pumping ride.
Highly Recommended!
