Oh my god that’s it. You’re good. I can’t believe you found it
Glad to help out! It has come up before, so it must have some memorable elements. :)
This girl comes to an island after her mom dies. Never visited this island before but her grandmother lives there. She finds out that there are supernatural beings (not really mermaids--they don't have tails but have underwater powers) that live in the water around the island. She starts to acquire weird water powers, like getting gills and webbed feet.
There is a scene where all the single women (MC included) have to dress in white gowns and stand in the water so the supernatural men can claim them. The men would then take them underwater and have sex with them to make supernatural babies. MC is picked and she freaks out and screams super loud, causing the supernatural man's ears to bleed. The LI steps in to stop the supernatural man from hurting her.
They find out she's one of them and the LI starts to teach her how to be like them. (swim fast, breathe underwater, etc.). There are scary monsters that live in the sea that attack the supernatural people. They have super long talons. The girl can scream underwater and kill them. One of the monsters comes on land and attacks her grandmother. The grandmother loses an eye (or two?). The MC ends up being the key to unlocking a super special place underwater.
