About this listen

A mermaid's supernatural beauty serves one purpose: to lure a sailor to his death.

The Massacre is supposed to bring peace to Eriana Kwai. Every year, the island sends its warriors to battle these hostile sea demons. Every year, the warriors fail to return. Desperate for survival, the island must decide on a new strategy. Now, the fate of Eriana Kwai lies in the hands of 20 battle-trained girls and their resistance to a mermaid's allure.

Eighteen-year-old Meela has already lost her brother to the Massacre, and she has lived with a secret that's haunted her since childhood. For any hope of survival, she must overcome the demons of her past and become a ruthless mermaid killer.

For the first time, Eriana Kwai's Massacre warriors are female, and Meela must fight for her people's freedom on the Pacific Ocean's deadliest battleground.

This novel was hard for me to rate, and it took me a while to get up the courage to write something here. The reason being it's quite a brutal novel with a hefty amount of violence and bloodshed, but I guess the clue is in the title. The f/f romance element of the novel is limited, and mostly the novel is an adventure novel with a lot fighting sequences and includes the killing of child mermaids. It's engaging but not for the light-hearted. My preference would have been to turn the volume down on the fighting and have more romantic engagements between the female mermaid and the female protagonist. It's well written and I'd likely listen to the sequel should one appear in the hopes that the romance continues, but for a some this may be too dark. That being said check out the good read reviews, highly rated there.

I did not listen to the full book I got as far as chapter 5.

I liked the bits of plot I heard. The characters were decent characters. I wanted to know where the story was going.

However, I felt lost. This is an Alternate Universe story, set on planet Earth. But I could not connect to the place. The location and the time period are a confused blur, against which everythign else refuses to come into focus. Is there an industry? What are the ships made out of? Why do they have good knives, cast bells, enough leisure to send the children to school buit no guns with which to defend themselves. This town of thousands live on hand-outs from other governments. They launch a single sortie to try and protect themselves each year - made up of teenagers ... just ... nothing in the background made sense, which distracted me from everything else.
