Summary

A red tide is rising.  

Seventeen-year-old Jade is recently engaged to a handsome soldier and about to choose her own career. But she didn't expect to witness a murder.  

When her fiance kills a naiad, plunging the underwater city of Thessalonike into uproar, tensions surge between the mer and the naiads. Jade learns too late that the choices she makes ripple further than she'd ever imagined. And as she fights against the tide of anger in a city that lives for scandal, she discovers danger lurking in every canal, imperiling her family and shattering the ocean's fragile peace.  

Can the city's divisions be mended before the upwelling of hate rips apart everything Jade loves?

A riveting novel with lots of surprises.

This is a riveting fantasy story about mermaids and naiads filled with murder, romance and thrill.

I loved the story and Jade the heroine although some of her decisions weren’t the best. She tended to get emotional quite a few times some of which weren’t particularly necessary although I did like her in all. The story took a dark turn at the start and from there there were a lot of twists and turns that I didn’t expect. My fave pyrite character has to be Benjamin because he is so mature and sweet. This novel had a lot of romance in too some of which was a little sad. I don’t want to spoil the book so you should listen to it but the end really gave me and shock. I was just finishing it as I was writing this and I think I gasped on the last sentence. I am definitely buying the next one and I think this book is worth a credit.

I think the narrating was done really well and the narrator suited all the voices well.

An interesting world with lots of detail

The story addresses issues that have existed since the beginning of mankind, and helps us deeply about prejudice and racism
