“You have no idea how fear can transform ordinary people into monsters.”

Ian Reynolds was born into a life of wealth and privilege, but he never wanted any part of it. Disgusted by his father’s lavish lifestyle, Ian instead invests himself in his writing and creates an empire of his own as a successful author.

But the happy life he built for himself is shattered when his girlfriend is murdered by her secret lover. Thrown into the depths of depression, Ian seeks an escape to his beloved housekeeper’s hometown of Romiou.

But it seems that powers beyond his imagination have orchestrated his arrival in Romiou. Something wicked lurks in the water, waiting to claim him…

    What a great tale but careful as this book is the first in a series and ends on a cliff hanger. I would totally recommend this book to any reader who enjoys great stories with a twist. Featuring witches who are mermaids and evil and the man they want to kill to free them.

    Days ago I was looking for a new book to read and since I have a thing for sirens' stories this one caught my attention.

    First of all, is a short and nice book, ideal for when you want to read something but you don't have a lot of free time, you can read this book easily in one day. I really like the background story the author tells about the sirens and witches, I think it has a lot of potential and I'm happy to know there are more books.

    And even though I enjoyed the book, I feel there were a few things missing to make this a 5 stars book. First it's promoted as "The Siren's Fate: A Mermaid Romance" I didn't see the Romance anywhere, at least not in the first book, I just hope there's a romance story in the next ones. Second, it felt a little bit rushed. Third, it's a fantasy story but the fantasy elements aren't really shown till the second half of the book, I just wished there were at least hints of this from the beginning because it felt too much like a contemporary book in the first half.

    Overall, it's a short, easy-to-read book, perfect to read between long series, there are a few plot twists and if you are patient enough the end gets really interesting.

    I will say that even though there are some issues with this book {grammar and such} I am still intrigued as the premise of the story has a lot of promise. I will certainly read the next book.

    This book is in serious need of an editor. Also, the scenes weren't fleshed out, it felt rushed. It ended on a cliffhanger, which I hate.

    This short story is a setup for a book that promises to be interesting. The characters and the writing are very good.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Rambling, unedited nonsense. Not even worth reading for free.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2021
    I consider myself pretty good at finding something worthwhile in most books. After all, someone has spent the time and effort to plan, research, write, edit, proofread and publish it. This book is the outlier. While the author has obviously taken at least some time to do the actual writing, the rest of those vital phases of the authorship process are conspicuously absent. I would be surprised and disappointed if this has been edited at all.

    At this point in my reviews I usually introduce some of the key aspects of the setting, characters and story, to give a potential reader some idea what they are getting. I’ll try, but I apologise if it does not make much sense!

    The book begins with an introduction which would be minimal even for a back-cover blurb. Apparently there are (or were) some witches who were banished from a place named Romiou, but for an unexplained reason they want a teenaged writer named Ian to despair. Ian Reynolds is that writer. The heir of a fabulously wealthy family, he abandoned it all to be a writer and sold his first book, which of course won the Booker prize and became a runaway success, at 16 and now is wealthy in his own right. Ian has just knocked off another book and is looking for a topic for the next one when he finds out that his glamorous girlfriend Sasha is seeing someone else. Suddenly, and for no explained reason, Sasha is dead. Then a bit later Ian’s mother is dead too. Ian wants to get away from home for a while, and his agent has pointed out a folk tale about missing witches, so Ian decides to fly to Cyprus to investigate. While he is not looking, his housekeeper turns into a fish, Ian’s best friend’s girlfriend has her face bitten off, and someone shoots his agent in the eye with an arrow. From there it just gets weirder.

    This book reads as if the author woke up in the middle of the night and tried to write down a dream as it faded from memory, then just published the raw notes. The characters are sketchy and unbelievable. The situations and incidents don’t connect with each other. There is no consistency or internal logic to the story, and it ends without resolving anything. The writing style is choppy and inconsistent, and riddled with grammar and spelling problems. It has a pretty cover, but even that is misleading, as it claims the book is “a mermaid romance”, when there is nothing even slightly romantic about the story, and the nearest thing to “mermaids” are witches who can transform into big fish.

    This is book one of a four-book series, all of which use the same cover. Based on this one I would have to say: don’t bother.

    I enjoyed this second book, but it needs better editing! I hope there is a third book as now I'm invested in the characters.

    This book is short, as expected in prequel, but I found the story really interesting. It drew the reader in and I look forward to reading the series.
