Talk about a great sequel! Book 1 was just not enough for me. I wanted more, more about the characters, backstory, etc. This was exactly what I was looking for in a good horror short story. I loved getting to know more about the characters and the story. I finished listening in roughly an hour. Good short read for those looking for a quick story.

I listened to this on Audible and it was super short, around 30 minutes. While short, it was really good! The author captured the scene perfectly, but I wish the book was longer. I will be moving to the second book, Torch now because this was just not enough. I grew up watching and reading Horror and this was like a taste, a summary of a much larger story.
I think the author has the chance to make this into something really great by expanding a little bit.
Overall, I really enjoyed this quick Horror short story and will be looking forward to reading more work by this author!

This book consumed me

Geneva is an amazing person but even better author. The world is detailed enough without being overbearing but the characters are where this book shines. I've read the physical book but the audio is perfection. The choice in narrators makes it even better. Many times the narration doesn't fit well with the character but this was the best!! Absolutely must listen if you love a good fantasy with amazing worldbuilding that takes you on a journey...oh and you love a good male voice actor!

Sapphire Smyth is no stranger to rejection. When she was only a baby, her father abandoned her after her mother died. Since then, Sapphire has never felt like she belonged anywhere, or with anyone. To make things worse, Sapphire's foster carers have now turned their back on her - on her 18th birthday.

I had talked with R.J. before and my son loves his Orgo books. When I heard he was writing a book that was more up my alley, I knew I had to get my hands on it. I was even more excited to hear I could listen to it as an audiobook.
The first thing I noticed about this book is that it sucked me right in. I immediately wanted to know what was happening. Sometimes it takes a few chapters to get pulled in but nope…not here. It was fast paced too so I never felt bored. I really think this is a great beginning to a wonderfully promising series. The writing style was so seamless and easy to follow along with that before I knew it, the book ended and I craved more. The concept for the book is very interesting as well, unique. R.J. takes normal aspects of young adult fantasy novels and puts his own amazing spin on it. This will take you on an amazing journey in the span of a short amount of pages.
Since the story takes place in modern times, there was not much world building that needed to be done. R.J. does do a great job using imagery and making you see and truly experience the story rather than blindly read words from the pages. I loved that I could feel the character’s emotions and see the scene revealed before my eyes as I read.
Sapphire seems to be a character that many can relate to. Honestly, how many felt like their world was turned upsidedown at 18? Well, my dad passed when I was 17…close enough though. I know that I can feel the fear and confusion she feels. She seems like such a strong woman as well, she doesn’t sit and cry over things that go wrong. She stands up, brushes herself off, and moves along to find a solution. Ben, Sapphire’s best friend, is one of those characters that you can’t help but like. I look forward to seeing more of him in future books as well.
Overall, this was a fantastic book. I had a few issues with the narrator though. Her voice was echoing, so much so that it sounded as if the book was recorded in a bathroom. The chapter narrations were mixed up and I really did not enjoy the narrator as much as I had hoped. I think what I enjoy most about this book is that it’s a novella! For someone such as myself who has very little spare time, these shorter books are fantastic! So, if you are looking for a fast-paced and addicting novella to fit into your busy schedules, pick up this book. You will not regret it. I can’t wait to read the second part…mermaids!!
