Story
Orphaned. Trained to fight. Raised to fear the power of Underhill. Secretly in love with a man who doesn’t want me. I’m still just Alli, a.k.a. the half-human orphan fae, but my life is looking up for the first time. It only took me my whole 24 years. But when Underhill - the ancestral home of the fae - shatters, making it impossible for any fae to enter, I’m the only one who knows who did it. A secret that will be the death of me if I do nothing.

Story
It's been 18 months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine, since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her. It started slow. First the teachers died, one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign. Now, left to fend for themselves on their island home, the girls don't dare wander outside the school's fence, where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything. But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her.

Story
The elves come for two things: war and wives. In both cases, they come for death. Three-thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed. Now, for centuries, the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen. To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk. A mark nineteen-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl. Instead, she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer. That is, until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives... for her.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Story
Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting it, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us. Nothing but good old-fashioned no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying; I’m just peeling an onion.)

Publisher's Summary
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?
What the critics say
"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!

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.
