Secrets Submerged: An Isla Emerged Novella Kindle Edition

Pain. Deception. Family.

Eleven months ago, Isla became the matriarch of her merfolk kingdom. Unfortunately, transitioning from being an exiled princess to being a queen is tougher than she anticipated. Isla is haunted by the trauma her mistakes have left behind, the sacrifice her father made, and the glimpse Anita gave her at a secret that had been buried for nearly thirty years.

Only Anita and the secret she holds close to her heart can give Isla any measure of closure and make the road ahead clearer for Isla to grow as Queen. But, much like the young mermaid, Anita is wracked by guilt because of her past complacency, the lies she believed, and the damage that was done.

Do they dare risk their friendship—and Isla’s fragile sanity—by exposing a truth that could change everything?


This novella bridges the gap between the series' first book, Isla Emerged, and the full length sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars New insight to Isla’s world!! This series is gold!

Let me just say that I enjoyed this novella soooo much! It was instantly captivating form page 1. I loved learning more about Anita and her past and getting insight on Isla’a mom! The book had a lot of unexpected twists that I didn’t foresee, but that just made it more enthralling! The writing and details, were so descriptive and brought me right back into the story, regardless of how long it’s been since I’ve read about these characters. I also loved how we got to see more of their culture and lives. I enjoyed the expanding of the world building, as that is something I wanted explored, and I was very pleased by that. Overall, I’m so glad we got this glimpse of the past, as it just made me love Anita more. In conclusion, this novella just made me even more excited for what’s to come in the future for the whole squad!

What a great novella! I enjoyed this story immensely and I got to learn about my favorite character, Anita! The characters are so relatable in this story that I found myself in tears by the end. I felt what Isla and Anita were feeling and I didn’t want the story to end. I can’t wait for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Novel is Very Well Done
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022
I purchased and listened to this on Audible books.
This short Novel continues where book 1 left off in Isla's books. I love getting the background story about Anita and her time with Kaya. There was so much love and respect between the two woman human and Mermaid. Once again the Narrator did a splendid job with Characters voices and the Storyline. looking forward to the next Audible book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Novella and Insight to Main Story
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020
Anita played a huge part in the take down of The Order. Who is she though and why was she willing to help Isla, a mermaid? How is it that she knew Eira, Isla's mother? It's time for her story.

This is why I love Novellas. Insight into other characters is something I crave when the main story captivates me. Learning who Anita was and became was heartbreaking at times and inspiring at others. She befriends her "enemy" and learns that everything she knew about merfolk was a lie. For her to see the wrong in what The Order does and realize she needed to change is inspiring. Change from within is powerful.

For Isla..she gets to know a little of her mother's story and finds the peace she craves which only strengthens her resolve to be a good ruler. She is more her mother's child than she believed.

After the struggles of taking over as Queen, the death of her father.....and the sadness she felt

Ilsa meets Anita and learns that she knew Eira, Ilsa’s mom - this book takes you through a whimsical friendship made after Anita left The Hunters and organization trained to hunt and kill 🧜🏼‍♀️. It’s a great continuation of the first book.

Almost a year has passed since Isla became Queen. She's not sure how to handle being Queen after her past mistakes. Her human friend, Anita, has secrets that could ruin their friendship and possibly make stuff harder for Isla. Sometimes you have to do what's right no matter what.

Anita and Kaya were huge parts of Isla Emerged and it was wonderful getting their backstory along with more information about Isla's mother. It was an emotional tale which kept the pages turning. Looking forward to Currents Converged!
