Selkies are shapeshifters who turn into seals. They aren’t the most common creatures in fantasy books but here are a few books I’ve seen them in.
Archers Beach
This is a beach town that features a boardwalk with a carousel that is actually a prison for supernatural creatures. One of the characters in the town is a selkie. This is one of the first books I read with a selkie in it.
The Girl from the Sea
This graphic novel tells the story of a selkie girl who becomes human once every seven years.
Hell and High Water
Someone is killing selkies in London. Three estranged friends and former spies – a selkie and two fae – come back together to solve the crime.
Seduced by a Selkie
It’s probably a bad sign that I couldn’t remember what this book was about when I went to write this post (other than the obvious from the title.) I just read it a month ago. It should have been good but it was obviously forgettable but it goes on the list.
Mystic Bayou
This series is was Seduced by a Selkie should have been. It is paranormal romance/mystery. The books with the selkies as the leads are books 4 and 7. Yes, you need to read them all to understand the overall story but it is a good series. There is a small town in Louisiana with a magical rift that has been attracting shifters for centuries. The rift is getting bigger. People are coming to town to figure out why. Romance ensues.
