My Thoughts
Miranda was swimming in the ocean with her sister one night, where she was taken underwater by something. When she woke up she was in a strange room and she did not know where she was. Come to find out she was being help captive by a king in a underwater world called Marin. Miranda was thoroughly confused. The king was holding her captive, because he wanted to marry her and have children with her. The women in Marin could not have children, so he needed a fertile women to help expand the population of Marin.
The king, Marko was trying to keep his throne as king from his brother Damir. Damir was evil and wanted to take over and rule the underwater world. Robbie, Miranda's guard had to keep Miranda safe so Damir would not take her.
Miranda began to fall for both Marko and Robbie. I really enjoyed this book, it was so captivating throughout the whole book and there was never a dull moment. There was lots of action and a little romance. I love Miranda and how she started falling for both men and I'm really curious who she will pick. I love the world building and the whole aspect of a underwater world, it was soo intriguing. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I definitely recommend this book.
I received a copy from YA Bound Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.
