🩵 Love is messy but worth fighting for…

✨Love is the heart of this story, it is shown in several ways and that's what makes this story so special. ✨Brina is a tough unapologetic bad ass siren who has done everything her clan expects from her. But when she rescues a land dweller, she makes a decision that will carve a new path to her destiny. Daring to defy everything she has known for a chance of true happiness. ✨Zaynab is not in her ideal situation has her crossing the sea with the least desirable crew. When the ship is attacked, she is saved by a mysterious siren that has her taking a second look. But when it is revealed what it took to save her, she is frustrated and it doesn't help that she is attracted to her savior. Learning her new life path, she sets off on an adventure she will never forget. ✨I love Scarlet's world that she’s created, immersing the reader in an underwater realm life and land life. I absolutely adored seeing a character from her first book (OH&B) make an impactful appearance! ✨Scarlet shows different types of love throughout her story. It is not just the tender and complex love between the leads, but a love between a mother and daughter. Daring to defy generational expectations in the name of such love. A story of courage and selflessness, discovering that true love is messy but worth fighting for. 🩵

Funny , heart pounding action

Another 5 star read! Scarlet is amazing at making her characters come to life amd feel actual emotions and go through the motions. Brina has had alot of growong up to do and to look back on the choices she has made. I actually love zen for her, she is the level headed women she needs to keep brina in line. While yes there is ALOT happening all at once i was able to keep up with most of it. There is plenty of spice, emotionial stupidity, emotional growth and battle action to keep you on youe toes in this story. Its like watching your teen do what you warned them not to do and they have to suffer the consquences. (Brina). With joking aside i really did love this story, it brings alot of critical,emotional thinking to the front and problem solving. It shows the depth of what us adults with mental illness , disabilities, trauma and addictions go through. That being said, i will riot if there isnt away to save brina and keep her alive past 20 years 😭😭 there has to be someone wgo can give them a equal life span.
