Marine Biology by G.L. Carriger, Gail Carriger
4.0
"Marine Biology" was originally published in a paranormal romance collection, and has just been released as an ebook single. This is the first story of Gail Carriger's that I've read that's set in the modern world, rather than the Victorian era. It's also - shocker! - set in the US. Not a single cup of tea throughout!
"Marine Biology" is a cute, light love story involving a reluctant werewolf hiding his sexuality and a few other key points from his he-man pack. When he and a gorgeous merman are thrown together to investigate some stolen money, sparks fly -- and precipate a few important moments of truth.
The mystery is rather beside the point. The fun is in meeting and appreciating the main characters, reading about pack dynamics (and barbeque social mores), and encountering a few interesting marine animals along the way.
Gail Carriger's humor and way with words shine through, as usual. Of course, if you really want to have fun, I'd highly recommend her Parasol Protectorate series. "Marine Biology" is a quick, diverting read, and would make a great dessert after a night of "serious" reading.
