so-so3.3⭐️ This book left me so confused, that I reached out to @Roary47 and asked her to pick it up and read it with me, which she absolutely did cause she‘s the best. In the end, it wasn‘t as bad as I thought it might be, but I think it could‘ve been better if it wasn‘t condensed into such a small book. The purpose behind it makes it worth a read, which is further explained in the afterword. This is my #BookSpin for #BookSpinBingo for June.
pan2✨ Let me start with the good. The afterword really brought what the author was going for to light. I think this was a beautiful imagining of the strong minds of women who had to face slavery while they were pregnant. Now with that said much of the story was confusing. Creating a world very unique in only a handful of pages was the main issue. I felt lost and questioned a lot. I‘m glad I read the afterword, but would have appreciated this sooner.
so-so2.25⭐• Ursula‘s back story • with mentions of many other Disney characters •
•The only reason I picked this up was for the U character name to go in my A-Z book challenge, and there could‘ve been a decent story here for all I know. Unfortunately, the narration killed it for me. I disliked the accent, which, to be fair, is most definitely a me thing, but her voice tone was also horrendous. Her character voices were just a high-pitched mess.
A horror story (fairy tale) of a mermaid and a doctor. Sort of a love story. Very very odd, yet beautifully written.

She found Zale waiting for her outside the tunnel. “Did you get the answer you were looking for?”
She smiled and reached for his hand. “I did.”

I close my eyes as Kola‘s fingers graze the small of my back, and then I let myself tip forward into a dive. As I soar through the salt-filled air, I let the rest of my tears fall, and when I opened my eyes, it is to a cold sea, washing them away.

pickTo be the first book Kiera wrote, The Siren was amazing! I loved it all the way up to the end. The ending was okay, but it wasn‘t my fav. The ending just wasn‘t what I expected and not in a good way 😔 Other than that the story itself was well done. I‘ve never heard these type of Sirens and how made the ocean had emotions and relationships. I would definitely be interested in more books with this theme and style of Sirens.
