Mariella Hunt

What People Are Saying:

The Sea Rose is a lovely tale that is like stepping into a Jane Austen novel, yet finding mer-people there as well. The characters grow and find a place in your heart, even the ones you did not originally care for.
— Cara Ruegg, The Kingdom of Dragons

Ms. Hunt stays true to form, writing breathtakingly believable characters that grip your full curiosity. I love how she intermingles the classes in this historical fiction. She shows the nuanced relationships between aristocracy and servants, while juxtaposing it with the “hidden” society of Merfolk.
— Rachel Roy, Through the Gate

The Sea Rose—a world of fantasy and historical romance (two of my favorite genres). Mariella Hunt weaves a tale of two Mermaids and their very different lives, one caught in poverty and the other in a life of secrets and riches.
— Eva Thacker, Finding Home at Somerton Castle

Hello,

I’m Mariella

Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet. This blog will be dedicated to all things books and reading, which happen to be my obsessions. Note the faint scent of coffee in the air; coffee is a must for me.

I will be sharing book reviews for reads that I enjoy. I’ll also be posting updates about my life as an indie author. Since I’m exploring the classics, expect the occasional poem or short piece as I experiment.

For centuries, land-bound descendants of Merpeople have been confined to hidden districts. Read The Sea Rose and sequel The Sea King if you wish to read their stories.
