A Sea of Wrath and Scoria (The Naiads of Juile #2) by Whit Stanfield

on


I never cared about men.

Until he lit a fire in me. Leaving me to burn with every step as we journey a treacherous coastline.

A land teeming with enemies.

War looms on the horizon. With every mile we draw closer to safety, we plunge ourselves deeper into danger.

Pirates shadow us from the sea. A prison guard tracks us on land. The Rivean army waits ahead.

And the man walking beside me stirs my siren blood. Every lingering touch, every unspoken word tightens his fiery hold over me.

Kye was never part of my plan, and his simmering-gold eyes prove as perilous as my vows.

But vows and blood exist as two sides of the same coin. And though my vow holds me prisoner, it's my siren blood that refuses to let me walk free.

Return to the world of sirens in this breath-taking follow-up to A Sea of Song and Sirens from fantasy romance author Whit Stanfield.

A young mother sat on her open veranda, holding a small girl in her lap as she rocked, the pads of her toes soft on the wooden floor.

Whit has created such an immersive world and I am sad to have left it. I really love this friends to enemies to lovers thing going on. Maren and Kye's yearning for each other while also being suspicious of each other is perfection. There were also so many twists and turns, some of which I anticipated, but some that surprised the crap out of me.

My only thing is there are so many monologues in this book. While I appreciated all the insight we got from each of them, it did feel like a little much. Also, Maren goes unconscious so many times.

That ending??? Heart-wrenching. I am excited to read the third book, but it's a prequel, so I will be left in agony as I wait for the fourth book. Whit, you evil genius.

This series is amazing! With a fun take on mermaids, a mysterious stranger, romantic tension, and political intrigue, it has everything a romantasy reader loves!
