Book Overview

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

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 amid treacherous waters.

As the youngest daughter of the siren queen, Celeste's life is tightly controlled. Desperate to prove her worth and escape her destiny--trapped in the palace as a royal figurehead--she intends to join the Chorus, an elite group of siren warriors. With the final test on the horizon, Celeste feels the pressure to finally gain control over her temperamental Song--a magic gifted by the Goddess herself. But when Celeste encounters a seemingly harmless ship in Staria's waters, helmed by the intriguing Prince Raiden Sharp, her path veers toward 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.

But the human world is nothing like she expected, nor is the prince the charming and noble man she assumed him to be. Disguised among Raiden's ragtag crew, she searches for the truth. But as Celeste finds her place aboard the ship, friendships--and attraction--begin to grow. Will Celeste be able to do what must be done? Or will her choices unravel a kingdom, devastating sirens and humans alike?

Wonderful Tale

What first drew me to this book was the cover of who I now know to be Celeste with her white hair and fascinating eyes. This does kind of mirror the start of the Little Mermaid but thankfully makes a break from that tale with the reason Celeste becomes human is to kill the prince! I do like how she still loves her family and also doesn't want to remain human, though things do get complicated once she learns the truth about the prince and meets his crew. There are good found family themes, following your own path even if it is not what is expected of you, and of course treasures to find and protect from those who would use them for their own evil purposes. I ended up quite enjoying all of it, except for that ending! Be warned, it is a humdinger of a cliffhanger with last chances of trying to stop the king (enemy to the sirens) and save not only the ocean but the land as well. I am really needing that next book now! This was a great audiobook to listen to as the narrator, Natalie Naudus, is one of my favorite narrators and she does a wonderful job in bringing all the characters to life, even if they don't speak (like Celeste does for most of the time on land). This was a fantastic debut and I cannot wait to find out if Celeste and Raiden and the wonderful crew of his can save the world!
