#52 Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant

When a story lets you know how it ends on the very first page it does take the sting out of a bit. The story does take the idea of a fake documentary on mermaids and says surprise they are real and not what you were hoping for. The idea that the filming crew has hired fake mermaids is brilliant and has everyone under contract with so many restrictions on what they can do on the boat and who they can talk to is amusing. Of course knowing that this is a doomed voyage does make almost any humor have a cutting edge to it as the reader knows more than the crew.  I enjoyed the story and was sad that it was over too quickly but I so want to see more of these mermaids even if it means more people have to die in the story
