A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow was released in June of this year. I'm sharing this one because it draws on Sirens folklore, a subset of mermaid folklore.
Book description:
Bethany C. Morrow's A Song Below Water is the story for today’s readers ― a captivating modern fantasy about black sirens, friendship, and self-discovery set against the challenges of today's racism and sexism.
In a society determined to keep her under lock and key, Tavia must hide her siren powers.
Meanwhile, Effie is fighting her own family struggles, pitted against literal demons from her past. Together, these best friends must navigate through the perils of high school’s junior year.
But everything changes in the aftermath of a siren murder trial that rocks the nation, and Tavia accidentally lets out her magical voice at the worst possible moment.
Soon, nothing in Portland, Oregon, seems safe. To save themselves from drowning, it’s only Tavia and Effie’s unbreakable sisterhood that proves to be the strongest magic of all.
