Publisher's summary

Mermaids are real--but they're not as legend paints them. Not at all.

When spoiled rich heiress Ash falls overboard from a luxury cruiser, her life changes forever. The good news: She’s rescued and saved from drowning. The bad news: She’s now trapped on a desert island with a smouldering stranger who’s hiding a secret.

Finn is gorgeous, brooding, super-strong--and not human. He’s a creature of the sea, able to breathe water as easily as he does air. But he’s an outcast, shunned by his own people because of his bloodline.

As Ash learns more about the mysterious merman, she discovers a world she never knew existed. A side of herself she never knew she had.

Her future lies beneath the sea. But in order to fulfil her destiny, she must risk it all to change an entire Kingdom.

Is she prepared to leave everything she knows to follow her heart?

Splash meets Siren with a dash of Aquaman in this upper young adult paranormal romance fantasy adventure.

Kingdom of Salt is the first book in the Chronicles of Cetaea series. From the author of the Daughter of Kali young adult urban fantasy trilogy.

KINGDOM IN THE SEA

A FUN STORY THAT IS WELL WRITTEN, AND FILLED WITH ADVENTURE AND MYSTERY. I THINK IT IS AWESOME THAT THE AUTHOR NARRATED HER OWN STORY AND DID A FANTASTIC JOB! WHEN IS BOOK 2 COMING TO AUDIO?

I LOVED THIS ONE. FANTASTIC MODERN LITTLE MERMAID

STORY IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

ACCEPTABLE FOR ALL AGES.

NARRATOR SHIULIE GHOSH, WAS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW AS SHE BRINGS UNIQUE LIFE TO EACH CHARACTER.

Good book

This book was good. The characters were ok and had some humor and drama to them. The storyline was new and inventive. The world building neeeded more work in my opinion but was different than other things I’ve read. Overall I would recommend this book. I received a promo code for this book and this is my honest opinion.

Great Aquatic Fantasy

This was my first experience with Shiulie Ghosh's work, and I enjoyed it. The story was about a young woman who was saved from drowning by a man who wasn't quite human. The world building was interesting, and I'm hoping that it is more developed as the tale unfolds in the next book. The characters were likeable, but they have undesirable traits also. I found the underlying message regarding prejudice thought provoking. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Shiulie Ghosh's narration was great and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Enjoyable Story

I enjoyed this story and liked/ Disliked the Main Character. She is a spoiled rich girl who is not even aware she treats other poorly. Now somehow she is on a deserted island with a man she doesn't know and she just orders him around even though he saved her life. Narrator does a good job with the characters voices and Storyline.

Very well done

This is a fantastic story of a great new world of mermaids and mermen and a great beginning to a sure to be wonderful series and a can’t wait for book 2

YA Mermaid Romance Adventure +18 Read

Parents- PG13-R- Really geared towards young adult
Language- R- Heavy bad language including lots of f-bombs
Violence- none
Sexual Content- PG13-R- kissing, insinuations, some almost sex scenes, two detailed sex scenes, heavy drinking, LGBT

Interesting spin on merpeople and mixed species. This story was good but I do wish it had been cleaner. There's a unique and fun plot and although Ash is a rich bratty character it's a hard book to put down. It's set up for a second book but does feel guaranteed in the way the end was written.

Narrator- 4⭐ Pretty good liked better at 1.25x speed
