Description

Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of 17 princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most - a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian's heart to the Sea Queen and or remain a human forever.

The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby - it's his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she's more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good - but can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind's greatest enemy?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Dual narrators heighten the drama of this fantasy... Stephanie Willis delivers Lira's vicious, impassioned narration with theatrical relish, allowing the character's fierce tones to soften as she begins to understand how deeply she's been warped by her mother, the merciless Sea Queen. Jacob York gives rakish swagger to Elian's drive to protect both his kingdom and his beloved ship's crew." (AudioFile Magazine)

Prefectly Chilling!

I absolutely LOVED this book! the story itself was so chilling and well written! The characters are easy to connect with and diverse, and the thought and care that went into the world is wonderful. I also loved to narrator's voice, it was smooth and calming and really added to the chill of the story! I highly recommend!

Nothing happened

This book really didn't impress me. The idea was there and was great but the romance was hardly believable, they hate each other and then all of a sudden they're in love? they hardly had much interaction to progress there, I just couldn't see what he would have even seen in her. The performance was pretty good however, I would listen to another of her books. #Audible1 #justok #notworthit

Decent book

Performances were great. The male actor’s attempt at a female voice was a little odd - his female voice sounded like an old lady. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

The story itself is like a cooler little mermaid meets pirate of the Caribbean. I thought the concept of the book was interesting and captured my attention from start to finish.

The book wraps up pretty nicely so it makes for a nice standalone story.

I found myself getting annoyed with the FL, I felt like there were so many ways she could’ve explained her situation to the ML, but I guess that’s partly what I sign up for with an enemies to lovers book.

I thought there’d at least be slight spice but it was as spicy as a grilled cheese - so not at all.

*incoming spoiler*


They kiss twice and it was like pg13 level spice.

Amazing and captivating dark retelling

This was one of my first reads of 2023 and it started strong!

"How strange that instead of taking his heart, I’m hoping he takes mine." - Lira

This book presents a captivating and dark retelling of The Little Mermaid, and I must say, I'm absolutely enamored by the concept. It's an undeniably compelling page-turner that plunges readers into a fantastical realm, leaving them craving more. While I was instantly drawn into this immersive universe, I couldn't help but feel there was more potential for even greater world-building, perhaps across a series of books. I think it would have undoubtedly elevated the storytelling to new heights.

I appreciated witnessing the development of Lira as a character, despite the challenging environment she finds herself in. I also enjoyed reading about some secondary characters' backstories as it added a necessary layer to the book. Again, I was left wanting more glimpses into these characters' pasts, to explore their histories further.

The amazing performance of the voice actors added so much to the experience and I am glad I got the audio copy for this read. It. Did. Not. Disappoint!

Overall I warmly recommend this book and I am happy it was among my first reads of 2023! I am excited to see what the author has in store for us next and how she will grow in the following years

A Thrilling High Seas Adventure

Have you ever wished The Little Mermaid was mashed up with Pirates of the Caribbean and turned into an enemy to lovers adventure? If your answer is yes, then this book will be a delight. Alexandra Christo spins a thrilling story of murder, piracy, feral beasts, mythology, fantasy and love into a gift wrapped story directly for those who loved PotC: On Strange Tides.

The narrators do a fantastic job of making you hang on their every word, though Jacob York isn’t the greatest at doing female voices. That being said, both of them presented this story beautifully.

I highly recommend this. I loved it!

It Was Fine

I really liked Lira's part of the story I just wish there was more just her but hearing the guy doing Elian story was slow and hated the way he does Liras voice it sounded like a dying old lady.

Strong until the ending

I was enticed by the plot the whole way through. the narrators did a good job. the final battle felt rushed, cartoonish and wacky. it went from YA to children's book in just a few sentences.
