From the very beginning, I was pulled right into this world. The ocean setting feels so vivid, and there’s this mix of beauty and danger that makes it hard to look away. The writing flows really well and made it easy to picture everything as I was reading.

The author created such an interesting main character. You can really feel how much she’s torn between what she’s supposed to do and what she’s starting to feel, and that tension makes you want to keep reading to see what she chooses.

If you like fantasy with ocean vibes, a bit of mystery, and a slow-building romance, this is definitely one to check out.

Thank you to Lauren Wiesebron for the opportunity to read this early copy.

This book was absolutely fantastic. I did not want to put it down once I started reading. Easily able to give this book five stars.

This story was BEAUTIFUL. The world building, the pros, the setting… Everything was beautiful. I think I’m entering my mermaid era, and I am not mad about it! I love a difficult choice in a fantasy story, and this one was so good. I mean, picking between your heart and your home… So well done!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc!

This is such a thoroughly well developed world, the author has done a truly excellent job building this atmospheric place for us to experience. That’s really all I can say, you must give it a try for yourself.
