Really good! A nice return to the world the series belongs to. Really liked the magical nuances of the curse.

balletbookworm's review against another edition
5.0
This one was really sweet - a bruja carrying a family curse looking to mitigate/remove/something it considers taking a deal from the Warlock of the Abyss...except on the way out she sees a captive merman being tormented by children. And it's...curiosity? lust? at first sight.
And then in a Little Mermaid-like twist, the Warlock turns Ronan "human" and sends him to convince Amada to sign the contract (the Warlock definitely has ulterior motives). Ronan and Amada kind of find kindred spirits in each other, in sharing their stories of their trauma - and getting some sexytimes (less "kinky" than the Nordbak/Robert/Herrera titles that use more bondage or D/s in their scenes but definitely "kinky" in the way alien romances are kinky). The author resolves the plot problem of the contract with the Warlock in a really interesting way, very clever.
