Kingdom of Salt: A Paranormal Fantasy Romance (Chronicles of Cetaea Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 141 ratings

Mermaids are real - but they're not as legend paints them. Not at all.

When spoiled rich heiress Ash falls overboard from a luxury cruiser, her life changes forever. The good news: she’s rescued and saved from drowning. The bad news: she’s now trapped on a desert island with a smouldering stranger who’s hiding a secret.

Finn is gorgeous, brooding, super-strong – and not human. He’s a creature of the sea, able to breathe water as easily as he does air. But he’s an outcast, shunned by his own people because of his bloodline.

As Ash learns more about the mysterious merman, she discovers a world she never knew existed. A side of herself she never knew she had. Her future lies beneath the sea. But in order to fulfil her destiny, she must risk it all to change an entire Kingdom.

Is she prepared to leave everything she knows to follow her heart?

Splash meets Siren with a dash of Aquaman in this upper young adult paranormal romance fantasy adventure.

I'm a journalist by trade, and I've worked for some of the biggest names in news - BBC, ITN, Al Jazeera. Now I split my time between reporting world events and writing fiction. I'm the author of several fantasy and paranormal books for young adults. My first series, Daughter of Kali, is an urban fantasy trilogy which borrows heavily from one of my favourite Hindu myths, that of the Goddess Kali and her battle with demons.

    I really liked this book. The characters were great, the world building was great and the plot was really good! The writing was intense and the story had the perfect pace. It reminded me of a book I read long ago called "Of Poseidon" and if you like those kind of stories you'll love this one. Happy reading everyone.

    I'm enjoying the world building. I definitely think that some of the character development might be happening rather faster than expected. Overall, an enjoyable read.

    A little bit of Aquaman, a little bit of Disney's little mermaid, a pinch of drama, an a very large drop of romance. A whirlpool of emotions that force you to feel what the character is going through. I purchased this novel with strong intrigue an i wasnt disappointed when i finished it the following day. My love to Ash & Fin!

    Of course, as soon as I’m finished writing this review I’ll be looking for more of her books. This was so well thought out and written. It’s really difficult to find great mermaid stories/series.

    I enjoyed this story and liked/ Disliked the Main Character. She is a spoiled rich girl who is not even aware she treats other poorly. Now somehow she is on a deserted island with a man she doesn't know and she just orders him around even though he saved her life. Narrator does a good job with the characters voices and Storyline.

    Enjoy this. Ash suddenly finds her reason for living in a strange way, Finn beside her. The new Queen has shown her heir and the Ceterans will not find things easy. Ash, Finn and Queen Dephina have a tough year ahead. This was a steady pace and the story weaved very well. Looking forward to book 2

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2020
    I normally get bored easily but this book held my attention until the end, read it in a day and a half. Love Ash, she is very funny, I also love Finn ( where can I get someone like him). I wish there was a part two...love to see how they got on. It definitely read as more upper YA but I am way way past my that and still loved it.

    Must read if action and love stories are what you want! Book one of two. Second one is called Real of Sirens (outsoon).
    This book is a great mix of action and love. Heart break and triumph.
    I love anything ocean related so this book was right up my street.
