Midlife Mermaid fits squarely into the paranormal women’s fiction subgenre, which focuses on women in midlife discovering supernatural abilities or powers rather than young adult heroines. The three-book series follows a protagonist who learns she has mermaid abilities and has to figure out what that means for her life. H.P. Mallory published the series across 2021 and 2022, with The Mermaid Next Door, Gentlemen Prefer Mermaids, and A Mermaid to Remember forming a compact and complete arc.

The tone is lighter than some of Mallory’s darker series, with a strong emphasis on humor and the absurdity of discovering you are part mermaid in the middle of an otherwise ordinary life. The romance element is present but secondary to the protagonist’s journey of figuring out her new supernatural identity and what to do with it.

Readers who have enjoyed Mallory’s Midlife Spirits or Midlife Mysteries series will feel at home with Midlife Mermaid’s approach. The three books are a quick read and tell a complete story, making this one of the easier entry points into Mallory’s midlife paranormal world.
