It's neither bad or good. If you want an book filled with sex scenes (nothing revolutionary) with a mermaid then this is your book. Other than that this book is meh.
The magic world is barely developed. The mermaids are one dimensional: one is curious, one is a fighter bitch, and our dear Arielle is the self-sacrificing one. The characters do not involve with the story they stay as they are. Same for the prince he is a dick at the beginning and a dick at the end.
Finally, the love story is non existence. Do not read this book if u want romance 🤣🤣. I am a hoe for ALL ROMANCE TROPES cheesy and uncheesy (except a selected few). So I dnt mind soul mate/ love at first sight. But these two characters are not in love. There is nothing in the book that shows they love each other. Arielle speaks of mating like a duty and Eryx wants to fuck her basically. It starts like that and end like that and I'm suppose to believe that are in love cause they know through their mating bond. Like bitch plz!
The sex scenes are meh 😐. Personally I didn't like them. They happen whenever they are abt to have a real conversation and Eryx speaks like he is in a cheap porno. The ending was also a big meh like the author included too many plots and chose the easy way out.
Anyhow I started reading this book cause I LOVER TO KILL A KINGDOM. I loved that retelling so MUCH! I also loved the story line of the mermaid and the priest in PIRATE OF THE CARIBBEAN and when I looked for some recommendations this one came out. If you like either of these two I cn tell u, u wnt like this book.
