"Love is a risk worth taking.
Years ago, Kahlen was rescued from drowning by the Ocean. To repay her debt, and she has served as a Siren ever since, using her voice to lure countless strangers to their deaths. Though a single word from Kahlen can kill, she can't resist spending her days on land, watching ordinary people and longing for the day when she will be able to speak and laugh and live freely among them again.
Kahlen is resigned to finishing her sentence in solitude... until she meets Akinli. Handsome, caring and kind, Akinli is everything Kahlen ever dreamed of. And though she can't talk to him, they soon forge a connection neither of them can deny... and Kahlen doesn't want to.
Falling in love with a human breaks all the Ocean's rules, and if the Ocean discovers Kahlen's feelings, she'll be forced to leave Akinli for good. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart."
My Rating: 2/5
This was a fun audiobook to read and I like the concept of the ocean being personified. I think that this idea had such great potential but it definitely fell into the 2010 era of fantasy romance. I will say that I didn't realize how the characters' names were written because I listened to it on audio and I would strongly recommend that course of action. It was fun, it was quick, it was entertaining what more could you ask for for a casual audiobook?
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
