Receiving your voice is the ultimate gift for a mermaid, but danger lurks near with those who want to steal the gift due to its strong magical powers. Raichelle trusts no one, but the tides may turn when she meets Caleb, a local fisherman and former sailor.

This story is full of unlikely friendships, love, deceit, and redemption.

This book is a clean fantasy romance.

Despite the AI voice

I really did enjoy the story. The story was not a retelling but a completely original tale. Unexpected twist and turns and sweet romantic story.

not a very deep story, but good story idea

I honestly thought the story had great potential but there were many loose ends and easy wins, the characters weren’t very deep. We all want a story like this but it still has a way to go

It was definitely not a voice actress.

There were many moments it was obvious this was read by AI. Especially the “caw-caw” of a raven. It was discombobulating. The story was extremely similar to another I read. I checked twice to make sure it was new to me. A nice story over all if that’s what you’re in the mood for.
