Whispers of the Deep

Definitely earns a respectable 3 stars for its imaginative take on the enemies-to-lovers trope set in a modern Atlantis with merpeople. The novel shines with its unique underwater setting, offering a refreshing twist in the fantasy romance genre.

The slow-burn romance is a double-edged sword. It realistically evolves from animosity to affection, but at times, the pace drags, which might test some readers' patience. The main characters are well-developed, but the supporting cast lacks the same depth, leading to missed opportunities in enriching the story.

The concept of Atlantis and merpeople is intriguing, but the world-building could be more consistent and detailed, leaving readers desiring a fuller exploration of this underwater realm.

Overall, Whispers from the Deep is a decent read for those who enjoy a unique fantasy setting in their romance. While it stands out for its creative premise, the book falls short in fully developing its world and maintaining a steady narrative pace.”
