'Delivers an enchanting tale of siren princess Celeste, weaving magic, mystery, and heart-stopping adventure beneath the waves' Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times bestselling author From popular content creator Kelsey Impicciche, Voice of the Ocean follows a daring young siren who defies her people to save a human prince, unearthing ancient magic and igniting a dangerous romance amidst treacherous waters. As the youngest daughter of the Siren queen, Celeste's life is tightly controlled. Desperate to prove her worth, she intends to join the Chorus - an elite group of siren warriors. With her final test on the horizon, Celeste must finally gain control over her temperamental Song. But when Celeste encounters a seemingly harmless ship, helmed by the intriguing Prince Raiden Sharp, her path veers towards forbidden waters. Believing the handsome sailor to be innocent of any wrongdoing, Celeste defies Siren law to save Raiden's life - despite knowing he is the son of a king who has murdered many of her kindred. The penalty for Celeste's betrayal should be death, but the queen offers her an alternative: right her wrong by assassinating the prince. Determined to first discover the truth behind the prince's clandestine mission, Celeste agrees to become human. The human world is nothing like she expected, nor is the prince the charming and noble man she assumed him to be. But as Celeste finds her place aboard the ship, friendships - and attraction - begin to grow. Will Celeste be able to save herself? Or will her choices unravel a kingdom, devastating sirens and humans alike?

"This was a very enjoyable book! It had a well paced and intriguing plot, and it was beautifully descriptive! The world building was very well done, and there were so many lovable characters! Celeste and Raiden were both so sassy and entertaining, and Raiden’s crew was amazing! I loved watching Celeste connect with all of them! Definitely major found family vibes! My one complaint is that Celeste spent the majority of the book not speaking. While I understand why the author made this decision, I feel like we lost out in so much banter because of it. Hardly the end of world, and it doesn't affect my rating, because Celeste not speaking did genuinely make sense for the plot, but I'm definitely looking forward to more banter in the next book! Overall, I thought this was an impressive debut novel! Also, LOVE the cover! SO PRETTY!!!

"I liked reading this and did not find it boring. At the start, it kind of felt like the Little Mermaid, but then Celeste became a pirate with a mission to kill the captain.
Celeste saved him twice and they fall in love. I loved their moments and how he understood her even when she was a mute. He calls her love 🧎♀️. They look so hot in the fan art.
The crew was funny and she found her family. But I will say that this ended with a cliffhanger and the couple did not run away happily into the sun 😔.
Wanted siren x pirate and this delivered. "
