๐ฆ โwho did this to you?โ
if that quote isnโt enough to make you immediately like maren then idk what to tell you. a funny, headstrong, badass fmc. i liked her from the start. and donโt get me started on my weakness for kye.
now you know iโm a sucker for enemies to lovers, and BOY does this hit the s p o t. even better that it started with a betrayal like oof youโve got me riding the emotional rollercoaster with these characters.
โdonโt touch my wifeโ got me kicking my FEET.
the naiad lore in this is just so so good. i love mermaids/sirens and iโve found it really hard to come across a story i enjoyed but HEY look no further.
adding a dash of pirates and magic just hooked (lol) me in even more.
shoutout to the female friendships that were selena and diara. i actually love both of their characters and iโm super eager to learn more about them.
also shoutout to the DETAIL whit put in even right at the beginning of the book. the maps, the glossary, the calendars ๐๐ผ the attention to detail is *chefs kiss*
HOW this is her debut novel i do NOT know. blown away.
i consumed this like the shark that went for marenโs boat in the beginning. there is so much left unanswered and that CLIFF HANGER?! i just canโt wait for the sequel ๐ฅฒ
