This was good and I did enjoy it but I didn’t love it.
It is very much a dark little mermaid retelling and meets the criteria for that but as the author message stated it isn’t DARK dark so if you’re expecting that this isn’t the book for you.
I liked the found family aspect of the crew and the character development that Maren went through throughout the book. Ramsey was fine, I didn’t hate or love his character, he was just there.
I found the plot and pacing to be slower than what I wanted. Sometimes it felt like pages of nothing happening that was relevant to moving the story forward.
Thank you to Metal Blonde Books and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.

While this book is marketed as a reimagining of The Little Mermaid, I’d say it reads more like a mashup between that classic and Pirates of the Caribbean—and honestly, that combo is exactly what made it such a fun ride. As someone who adores both stories in their original forms, I was totally captivated by how the author wove those worlds together into something fresh and exciting.
This book brings it all: a vivid magical system, fantastical sea creatures, mermaids and sirens, and characters who blur the line between hero and villain. The plot strikes a perfect balance between adventure and emotional depth, with an epic romance that’s tangled up in shadows, danger, and heartache. It’s a dark, dreamy escape that had me hooked from the start.

A dark retelling of what happened after The Little Mermaid got her legs. I really enjoyed this! Think Little Mermaid crossed with Pirates of the Caribbean. I loved all the action and the relationship between Maren and Ramsay. 4 stars!
I did enjoy it, the spice was definitely spicing. Ramsey is a keeper for sure he deserves it all. It’s just sometimes was a bit, like something was missing i don’t know how to explain, it is my first siren/mermaid romantacy so I don’t know, I do recommend to read.
Action packed, great romance, good spice. Loved this spin on the little mermaid. Gives pirates of the Caribbean vibes but make it more spicy. This book had me hooked right away and never had a dull moment. Some good unexpected twists in there too! Highly recommend for a fun summer read!
Think Little Mermaid dark retelling with Pirates, vampires, Kraken, and a lot of vengeance.
This story captivated me from the first chapter. It is DARK, so check trigger warnings before diving in. The characters are well written with a lot of depth and some tragic back stories. The world building was non existent but it is basically our world in a different time period so I just kept picturing images from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. lol.
The plot is mainly the main characters finding their revenge from the same person for different reasons and using each other to get to that goal. It was a good story for the most part.
The audiobook was stellar, I loved the narrators. K bye.

This was fun! A DARK romance retelling of The Little Mermaid meets Pirates of the Caribbean with Vampires! The submerses you in this oceanic world of pirate ships and under the sea worlds with sharks, krakens, sea witches, pirates, sirens, and mermaids, but not the beautiful mermaids that you’re thinking. These have gills and claws that are made to kill. These dark sea pirate vibes were so good. 🏴☠️ 🚢 🧜♀️
The monster aspect of this got to be a bit too much for me at times and was kind of overkill.
“I’m not going to let you get away, no matter how much you beg. And believe me, I would love to hear you beg.”
“Darling, your body would bring any man to their knees where they would be in the right position to worship you. It’s a body carved by god yet meant for sin, and it would become anyone’s salvation.”
“I’ve never had an addiction before, but I think you’ll be mine”
