I liked this book because it made sense. I didn't have to guess the hidden meaning behind everything. Midnight Pearls was not what I expected. On the cover, it says it's a retelling of The Little Mermaid so I expected something along the lines of bright red hair, singing songs, and talking animals. I got something way different.

Pearl doesn't remember any of her life before living with the people she calls her parents. The only thing she knows about her past is that when she was 4 years old, she was found floating in the ocean with a dark blue pearl clutched in her hand. Since then she has always been very unusual in the fact that she has silver hair, skin she can almost see through, and dark blue eyes. No one in her village knows exactly where she came from but they can see enough to know she's not normal.

Now Pearl is 17 and still isn't married. She knows why, but it doesn't make her feel any better. The only person she has to console her is her secret friend, Prince James. Then disaster strikes in the kingdom. Along with a plot to take over the kingdom, there is an evil enchantment from deep within the ocean. When Pearl discovers the truth about her past, her friendship with James is put to the test. Can they stop the evil before it tears Pearl and James apart forever? he world.
