Awaken by Skye Malone
This novel is the first in a series of paranormal teen romance books. The main character is Chloe Kowalski, a girl in her senior year of high school who has grown up in Kansas, but has always longed for the Pacific Ocean. Her parents are very strict in many respects, but more so when it comes to water. She's not allowed to even go to a swimming pool or a lake, and has never taken swimming lessons. Their only explanation is that water is dangerous and carries diseases. When her best friend Bailey invites her to her father's beach house with Bailey's older (cute) stepbrothers, Noah and Maddox, she is eager to go, but again her parents refuse. So Chloe climbs out her window and goes anyway.
She finds the ocean compelling, and feels a tingle when she puts her feet into it. A merman named Zeke is nearby and notice the strange reaction as well. But he isn't the only one.
After a scary boating experience, Chloe's parents arrive to fetch her home, but she still is drawn back, looking for an opportunity to run away.
When girls similar in appearance to Skye begin to go missing, the whole oceanside community is scared of what's going on, and Chloe finds herself questioning her reality, her situation, and who might want to kill her just for existing.
