I love enemies to lovers, pirates, badass female leads, male leads that aren’t ‘alpha’ like and possessive and retellings and this book ticks all of those boxes.

So if you haven't seen the description, this is somewhat of a little mermaid retelling, except it has a totally unique spin, pulling in other folklore as well! (Hint: Midas!)

Lira is a siren known as the 'Prince's Bane' - and she's infamous for killing princes. Yep, she rips out their hearts and keeps them as prizes. Lira is unashamedly brutal and hunts with vicious intent and I love it.

Elian is a prince whos pastime is piracy. He is essentially a pirate prince. Elian is hilariously sassy and all round amazing. How does he pass the time at sea? He hunts sirens. And he kills a great deal of them.

So we have a prince killer and a siren killer - the makings of a perfect enemies to lovers story.

There's romance, banter, pirates, action, drama, adventure, strong character arcs, and lots of fun kingdoms and I definitely fell a little bit in love with Elian. All in all, if you’re a fan of enemies to lovers, morally gray main characters and pirates then I highly recommend this book.
