As I’m going along with my megaphone. I'm encouraging people to take rubbish home with them on the beach and raising awareness but in a really funky way. I’ll straight up tell you that I was utterly thrilled to be granted an ARC of this book because Dorothy Koomson has long been one of my favourite authors; her storytelling skills are off the scale! Unputdownable novels such as Rose Petal Beach, The Ice Cream Girls and That Girl From Nowhere all embody her phenomenal talent of writing genre-crossing bestselling books! Ok, so now you know I’m a huge fan. This book did not disappoint; it is everything you’d hope for from Koomson, and some. We have marched for ocean-related charities for many years. It’s a fun event but it has a very serious message behind it.

The Brighton Mermaid by Dorothy Koomson - The Tiger Tales

Danger seems to be around every corner- it's very tense at points , keeping you on the edge of your seat. Dark secrets are being kept and we wonder when skeletons are going to come tumbling about- and where! Moving forward to the present day and Nell is still obsessed with the Brighton Mermaid, and with Jude’s disappearance. She spends every minute that she can spare, online; frantically trying to find people; anyone who may hold a clue to the identity of the mermaid and to Jude’s disappearance. When she gives up her job to carry on this work, she begins to uncover things that certain people really don’t want anyone to know about. I would like to thank Netgalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for an advance copy of The Brighton Mermaid, a stand alone novel set in Brighton. This will creep its way under your skin and stay there long after you finish the final few gut-twisting chapters. Brilliant’ ( Heat) But as Nell edges closer to the truth, dangerous things start to happen. Someone seems to be watching her every move, and soon she starts to wonder who in her life she can actually trust ...Jude and I were so similar, so close, and so very different, too. She made me laugh, made me angry, made me scared, made me jealous when she got something I didn’t. And then she vanished.” There will soon be some very special visitors at the world’s oldest aquarium on Brighton’s seafront.

House was perfect, brilliant fit for 11 (would be too cosy for any more in my opinion) great location and awesome layout! We had such a great time being able to eat and socialise downstairs in the kitchen and then take the group to, in our words the 'party room' before we went out. We were a mixed hen party from age 29-60 and it was just great for all!

If you still don't hear from the owner, Tripadvisor recommends that you send enquiries to other properties.The March of the Mermaids, a glittery annual spectacle, took place this weekend for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

I used to write a chapter every night then pass it around to my fellow convent school pupils every morning, and they seemed to love it.
