Shifted by Tricia Barr
Rule #1: Never go out after dark.
Rule #2: Never go into large bodies of water.
Rule #3: Stay off of social media.
Myreen didn’t think breaking one rule, just once, would lead to the death of her mother. And she never expected to learn she was a mermaid shifter, or that her mother was killed by vampires.
Whisked away in the middle of the night for her own safety, Myreen finds herself in a secret school for shifters. With rumors swirling, mean girls circling, and two incredibly attractive guys tugging her in separate directions, Myreen will need to untangle the web of secrets surrounding her if she ever wants to find out why her mother was murdered.
But as she dives deeper into the mystery, she discovers a truth about herself that no one saw coming—a truth that will change the fate of the shifter world forever.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to create the next Harry Potter series, but I felt it was too big of a project to keep to myself. So I invited other authors to create this shifter world with me. We all decided to write one big book together to launch the series, and it's been the best time of my life as an author to write my partners.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The book is written by 5 authors, and each author invented a character to write in their point of view. My character is a mermaid shifter because I have always loved the Little Mermaid.
Book Sample
“Who are you and what do you want with me?” Myreen hiccupped.
He looked at her in the rearview mirror. “My name is Oberon. I came to personally invite you to a school for…special people like you. I didn’t realize you were a target.”
“A target to who?” she asked, trying to remain calm. “Who did that to my mom?” Tears welled in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
“Vampires,” Oberon replied, dead serious.
“Vampires?” Myreen asked, not bothering to hide her skepticism. “Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“This isn’t a joke, Myreen,” he said. “You don’t live in the world you think you do. Do you even know what you are?”
She narrowed her eyes. What was he talking about?
“What is she?” Kenzie asked beside her.
“Myreen, have you ever experienced anything strange? Anything you couldn’t explain?” Oberon kept his gaze on Myreen in the mirror, ignoring Kenzie’s question.
Myreen’s mind flipped through screenshots of her life. There was nothing normal about the way she grew up, but nothing to indicate she was something otherworldly as this man was suggesting.
“No,” she answered.
“What about your mother?” he asked.
Myreen shook her head.
“You’ve never…been to the beach? Or had anything weird happen to you while swimming?”
She met his steely gaze in the mirror. Why was he asking her about swimming? Was there really something to the stupid no-water rule?
“I’ve never been allowed to swim,” she confessed.
Oberon’s brows raised in understanding. “So your mom knew, and she tried to keep you from it.”
“From what?” Myreen asked.
Oberon sighed. “Myreen, you’re a mermaid.”
