A Sea of Song and Sirens: The Naiads of Juile Book One by Whit Stanfield
adventurous
mysterious
5.0
Thank you to the author for giving me this ARC!
If you love The Little Mermaid & Moana, then you are going to love this book, as it is a mixture of the two, but for adults!
As expected in the first book of a series, there was a lot of world building to be done, and the author has done this beautifully - adding in plenty of backstory and history along the way. I could definitely imagine myself being right there with the characters in the various locations.
The story starts when FMC Maren saves a man from drowning in the sea close to her island home. However, the mysterious man's appearance on the island sparks a chain of events that nobody could see coming.
Taken far from home and dealing with revelations about her heritage, Maren has to make a deadly deal to stay alive - but all is not what it seems...
♡ Adult romantasy
♡ Slow burn romance
♡ Enemies to lovers
♡ Found family
♡ Arranged marriage
♡ Hidden identities
♡ Sirens/mermaids
Believe me when I say there are plot twists in this one - just when I thought I guessed where the story was going, it took another turn!
Overall the author has done a fantastic job - I honestly can't wait to see where she takes this story next - with an ending like that, I need more ASAP!!
