So this is A dark fantasy about the siren with a taste for royal blood and the prince who has sworn to destroy her.
This book had one of the most powerful line to start a book with!!
But it took a road that I didn’t enjoy

A great fantasy book this story follows lira the siren princess and prince Elian the reknowned siren killer/hunter. 
Initially being punished by her mother and made human to take Elians heart.  They wind up hunting for a jewel that in human hands could end the sirens and in sirens hands end the humans but the outcome is neither and you’ll have to read to find out.  

Somewhat of a slow burn enemies to lovers too I enjoyed this fantasy despite it not pertaining the kind of magic and format I love in fantasy normally it was amazing and very well written and one to stay on my shelf for a lifetime.

I loved this book. <Spoiler> The enemies to lovers between Lira and Elian is great and the betrayal Lira put him through was better but the fact that he couldn’t kill her after is even better. The story line includes adventure, theft, lying, etc which is my cup of tea

. I gave this book 4.75  because I enjoyed it but the ending felt a little anticlimactic to me. Overall, great book and you should give it a try.
