Blue Moon: The Ring of Mer

By: Geraldine Allie

Narrated by: Alex Hyde-White

Length: 3 hrs and 59 mins

Publisher's summary

In an age where myths and legends are dismissed as mere fantasy, a young woman named Cora finds herself thrust into a world of ancient lore and destiny. Her own life hangs in the balance, while a mysterious prophecy unfolds.

From the depths of the sea emerges a young man, shrouded in mystery and steeped in legend, destined to be born as the guardian of a realm hidden beneath the waves—a world of profound power intrinsically linked to the very ring Cora wears: The Ring of Mer. He is her protector, her shield, and their fates are inexorably intertwined, bound by an ancient covenant.

However, lurking in the shadows is a malevolent force, as old as the prophecy itself, relentless in its pursuit to seize the ring and snuff out Cora's life. When Sean, the chosen guardian, takes on the grave responsibility of safeguarding her, Cora faces a daunting choice: Can she open her heart and place her trust in him? Their very survival hinges on this trust, for the mystery of the sea may well be her true destiny—the prophecy demands that Sean and Cora forge a bond as unbreakable as those who came before them.

The consequences of their connection extend far beyond their own existence, as the prophecy mandates that they become the next Seer and Guardian of The Blue Moon. Should they fail to form this unbreakable bond, the peril may extend not just to their lives but to the very fate of the world itself.

Any additional comments?

*** I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review ***

I like the concept of these stories, and this series...but this one dragged a bit for me...I did like the friendship and budding romance between Cora and Sean and how this series is unraveling...this one is about a merman and a see'er that was chosen when she discovers a ring, she is in danger and the merman must protect her...and of course they are drawn together as soul mates...there is more mythical creatures in this book and it is a good story...great cliffhanger ending...and looking forward to #3!

Building up to a battle

* I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review *

This is the second book of the series and it was just about as good as the first. There is a big battle brewing and you can feel it throughout the book. Finding the seers and their guardians is the main tasks at the moment, but we are getting to the battle. I think once we get there, things will heat up very quickly!

and the saga continues ...

Who was your favorite character and why?

I enjoyed the character of Cora the best. She is someone who just wants to live her life and is now 'thrown' into the world of the Seers and the Guardians. She takes everything in stride and is a force to be reckoned with.

Have you listened to any of Alex Hyde-White’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Another fine performance by Mr. Hyde-White. He also reads the first book in this series. The flow between book 1 and book 2 is seamless. The characterizations are the same from book to book. A job well done.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Coming in at just about 4 hours in length, this is a book that you could listen to on a lazy day or maybe in the car on a trip.

Any additional comments?

Blue Moon continues the story first started in Hunter's Moon. We go on the journey with Cora and Sean as they fight Morganna with the help of Merlin, Victoria and Percy. I like where this story is going and can't wait for book 3. I would recommend this book to my friends who enjoy fantasy books and tales.
