The name’s Abadare Glynt. Yes, really. I’ve been chewed up and spat out more times than a dog’s favorite bone, but I keep coming back for more, which is probably a good thing for an outcast, occasional detective, and all-round shadowy guy. Things weren’t exactly going well, but I’d decided to see the glass as being half-full, so when a beautiful woman with an ugly job fell into my lap, how could I refuse? Add to the mix a hell-raising heist, a murderous dimension hopping enchantress, and a spell on the loose with the potential to destroy half the city.

Publisher's Summary
Rin is an immortal kitsune, or at least she was until a witch’s curse turned her human. To regain her yokai powers and avoid being turned into a fox, she must make the lord’s son fall in love with her before the next full moon. Her kind has been seducing humans for centuries, and it should be easy, as long as he doesn’t find out she’s a kitsune…except the curse also took her voice.
Hikaru is betrothed to the daughter of a rival lord, and he will fulfill his duty, protecting his clan from others and from the yokai. But when he’s saved by a mysterious red-haired woman, he can’t forget her, try as he might. Then she turns up at his door....
Only it can’t be his savior, since this woman has ebony hair, but there’s something inexplicably bewitching about her. Yet his father’s treaty depends on his marriage to another, and even an innocent dalliance could ruin everything.
Falling in love is dangerous for them both. Not only are they from different worlds, but their time together can only end in heartache. Hikaru’s marriage means security for his clan, and Rin must destroy it or be turned into a fox. And truly loving Hikaru means revealing she’s one of the hated yokai and an immortal. Will they risk it all for love? Or will their two worlds rip them apart for good?

A Little Mermaid Retelling?
This was my first experience with Nicolette Andrews' work, and it was entertaining; however, it took me a period of time to recognize how this story was a Little Mermaid retelling. Once I broke down the Little Mermaid into a species transformed into a human being through the interaction of a witch at the cost of her voice, I could see the similarities, but I don't think that adequately described this story. Joanna Roddy's narration was fine, but I found her style lacking expressiveness at times. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Baskerville Book Reviews
Much like the other books in this series, it featured a lot of Japanese words and cultural references that I have no prior knowledge of what they mean. While on the topic of my confusion, I’m all for women with tails, and then some. But I have no idea what the hell anything in this story has to do with mermaids. I have no familiarity with the original story, which means I can’t rate this as a retelling.
As a standalone romance, it was great. It’s been a minute since I listened to the other 2 stories, but I know at least 1 character “the Dragon” makes an appearance in this book, as well as the others. I enjoy the world-building and interconnectedness of the stories, despite being able to listen to them alone. The romance moves at a reasonable pace for a romance novel and the characters grow as people along the way. The side plots are equally as compelling and interesting, so there’s never a dull moment.
The narrator did a fine job of bringing the characters to life, as well as adding personality to them. It was never an issue to tell who was speaking and the audio lacked any issues.
NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

Fun YA Japanese Fairytale Retelling
I found the Japanese Fae side of this story to be really interesting and beautifully described. The story draws you in, the world building and character development was very well done. Basically, Ren, our little mermaid character, is a kitsune which is a fox/person.... She can go between forms and has special powers. The love triangles are more like multiple overlapping love polygons, which of course got very sticky and problematic for the characters and the reader to follow at times. I really had major issues with the fact that the "prince" is married and Ren is cursed by a witch to start a war by seducing him and then must kill him or his wife. The fact that the story tries to make it acceptable for the adulterous relationship is my biggest issue. This is definitely geared towards a more adult crowd with the content.
Parents- PG13-R- more young adult +17 and up
Language: some but no f-bombs
Violence: moderate violence with murders and fight scenes but not overly graphic
Sexual Content- undertones and insinuations, heavy desires, seduction attempts, naked scenes and a few love making scenes (build up, starting and after)
The narrator was great although I thought it was better at 1.3x speed. She had good differentiation between characters and the overall acting was well done.

This was a beautiful retelling of the little mermaid set in ancient Japan. I really enjoyed the Japanese myth mixed in with this story and the setting was beautiful. I wish there had been more world building but overall I enjoyed it a lot. I am excited to get to read more stories by this author and see what other fairytales might be retold. The twist was a lot of fun!

Story
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Jack Kernigan is having a bad day...a bad year...a bad life. After being booted out of MIT, he’s back in his Ohio hometown, working for the family business, facing a life of mediocrity. Then one day, out on a delivery, his truck hits...something. Something big...something furry...something invisible. And, it turns out, something not of this Earth. Fate can play funny tricks. Which is why Jack suddenly finds himself the planet’s best hope to unravel a conspiracy of galactic proportions that could spell the end of the human race.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

Story
The world teeters on the brink of destruction. The people who should be saving the Earth ignore Jason Asano's warnings and choose to loot the house as it burns down around them. He lacks the strength to save the world himself, but resolves to do it anyway, impossible be damned. The impossible, in this case, means seizing a power that no mortal should touch. It's a choice from which there is no turning back, and marks Jason's first step into a wider cosmos that he is not yet ready to face. Holding the fate of two worlds in his hands, Jason must decide for himself what home truly means.
