Cobalt: A Prequel Novella

Pretty Little Mermaids

By: A.L. Knorr

Narrated by: Marni Penning, Ron Butler

A keen young freshman. A siren at a crossroads. A chance meeting that changes everything.

Gina is a mermaid—a siren—on her land cycle and she has found a human mate she loves. In fact, they're engaged, but to overcome a mysterious betrayal she isn't sure she should forgive, she needs some time at sea, ideally above it.

So she stows away on a tall ship.

Seth is a precocious fifteen-year-old working on a school project, researching Cobalt Girl, a modern sailing vessel.

A chance meeting and a fog bank along the Carolina coast will change both of their lives forever…

Return to the siren realm of A.L. Knorr with Cobalt, a novella-length prequel to the duology series Pretty Little Mermaids, which expands the lore and worlds established in Born of Water, Mermaid’s Return and The Siren’s Curse, but is set before the events of the latter.

New Series Success

I had the opportunity to listen to this story initially in audio form using AI narration on BookFunnel and then again in human form on that platform. I enjoyed the second listen-through. I knew I had to purchase this on Audible as soon as it became available. Marni is an excellent narrator who brings much-needed emotion to any character she voices. Seth was a wonderful surprise. R. Butler hits it out of the park, providing the perfect balance of adolescent teen boy and maturity the character conveys. I do hope we get to hear from him again in the future. I loved her other Siren series, and this is just the beginning of something equally as intriguing without being repetitive and boring. A.L. Knorr is a master at her craft, and I look forward to hearing more from The Pretty Little Mermaids series in the future.

personal and thrilling story

I love how the author uses the perfect mixt of personal background story & thrilling action to set the scene for this series. On to the next book!
