Summary
A TIKTOK sensation!
An unforgettable dark romantic fantasy novel about the siren with a taste for royal blood and the prince who has sworn to destroy her.
"Stellar world building and nonstop action will keep readers hooked on this twisted reimagining of 'The Little Mermaid'." - Booklist Online
Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen 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 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. His calling? Ridding the world of the menace of the sirens. But when he rescues a drowning woman, it becomes clear that there's more to her than there first appeared.
She promises to help him find the key to destroying the sirens for good. But can he trust her?

Enjoyed it a lot more that I tought!
Both the narrators were amazing. The book is better than expected - I've never been into pirate-siren stories but this one is really good. I loved the ending!

The extra violent version of the little mermaid.
Great read. Enjoyed this adult retelling of the little mermaid with references to Greek myths whilst creating new mythology. Could have had a better well paced ending. Felt a bit rushed.

Great but something's missing?
I really loved the story and characters but felt the end was a little rushed. I know a good book leaves you wanting more but I just didn't feel that there romance was shown enough at the end, but then again it didn't hinder the story and was a very enjoyable listen.q

strong start
Had all the potential but lost it. Not enough character development and story pace was too slow then too fast.

it was an ok story
the narrators were very good and definitely did it justice. personally the story was okay. It didn't grip me too much and the plot was flimsy at times. I would still recommend to people interested in the genre.

it was a decent story
I liked it, but aspects of things were to tame for what they were. I feel the author aged it to safe. Still enjoyable though.

Brilliant!
Excellent narration from both Jacob York & Stephanie Willis. Sometimes it feels hard to find one narrator who is excellent, nevermind two!
Yes the story goes where you expect it BUT the pace, delivery and presentation of the narrative couldn't be more perfect.
The world that Alexandra Christo devised is brought to life so beautifully. Although I could easily listen to more tales that build on this story, it was so nice to have a book which isn't part of a series and tied up all the loose ends in one go. I loved this story it was pure magic, imagination and adventure.

Very enjoyable and gripping
Really enjoyed the story used similar themes but in a fond and reminiscent way while taking its own spin at the same time. Would enjoy a second book but ended well and was a satisfying listen. Very happy and will listen again.
