Darkling Seas

by Madelaine Montague

According to the tales passed down over generations, the mythological creatures had been known to lure the unsuspecting to their deaths. They were so awed by their discovery, so enthralled with the beautiful creature they had to wonder, could it be that there was some substance to the myth?

They were supposed to be nothing but myth, but the myth couldn't begin to compare to the truth. Was it certain death to indulge their desires? And, even if it was, could they resist?

Rating: Carnal. Multiple sexual partners, adult situations, language warning, the breeding practices of the merfolk are orgy-like and take the heroine by surprise--forced seduction?

Genres: Menage, Fantasy, Erotica, Paranormal, Paranormal Romance, Romance, Mermaids

meh. I'm really not buying mer people having all this technology. Plus I had a problem with her bones just not collapsing so far under the sea. If they were far enough down that humans didn't know they were there then they were far enough down to cause her problems. I didn't really get to know any of the males involved and that made it hard to care about them. Bringing in a new hero most of the way through made it even harder to care. Interesting prehensile male parts.

Lost interest about mid-way through and took a peak at the end. The first half of the book was spent with Miles and Damien as the supposed heros. In the epilogue she was with Basil and their baby?? What happened?? I did not care enough to find out.

Levando em conta que teve muitas situações que normalmente não gosto nas minhas leituras (sou romântica...) suponho que 3 estrelas até seja uma nota boa. Apenas não combinou tanto com os meus gostos...

Wow! This Author has some creative Hot books! The characters are hilarious sometimes. Not once did I feel offended personally where it made me put the book down. Actually, I COULDNT put it down! Buy this and read it! You won’t be disappointed. It has everything you like in a paranormal romance. Especially if you like the mythical mermaid.

Oh I really enjoyed this.
I found the whole book fascinating! An incredible world build and interesting characters, yeah the was a shit load of sex but it made sense. Didn't feel like it was shoved in there to fill pages.
The only bit I didn't like was how Angie was totally fine with everything and accepted her situation then suddenly she's hell bent on going home. That threw me a bit.

too many boy toys. At the end of the book the heroine had what? 7 of them?? what even.

Also, two words,

Dolphin Penis.

I was reading the book description for this on Amazon and had not read anything by the author, or so I thought. A few pages in I thought the style was remarkably like Kaitlyn O'Connor. A few more pages and I thought, this has to be Kaitlyn O'Connor. Luckily, for me I was right and my gamble on an unknown paid off!
This has all the trademarks of Kaitlyn's style of writing, thoughtful introspection by the protagonists, angst between male and female and also humour, particularly amongst the men trying to figure out what the woman wants and what they, themselves are feeling.
Yes, the h ends up with seven men but four of them barely play a part, which is disappointing. The main focus is on just three of the mermen.
Also as is usual it seems with the author's style, the ending is a little rushed. More time could have been spent on the developing relationships between the merfolk and the h.

When Damien had been sent to catch a terra-biped, he thought it had been a fool’s errand. Little did he know at the time that he would actually catch one of the mythical creatures and that the strong yet delicate creature would be female...

For the entire review please go to the Best Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Review site on the web, Bitten By Books for the review of Darkling Seas in it's entirety. You won't be sorry.

One of my fav from Kaitlyn O'Conner. It's basically what you'd expect from her menage stories: multiple Hs who fight over the h+a lot of h musing/thinking to herself+abrupt/unclear ending. I like the world in this one a lot better than her other stories. h is human, gets kidnapped by Hs(mermen). HEA but unclear(to me) who(how many)exactly she ends up with.

This is definitely one of my favourite Kaitlyn O'Connor books. I loved it. Just wish it was like, 50 000 times longer. I loved Miles and Damien and wish I could have seen them angst a bit more, and gotten to know the other men more, and so on.

Loved it

I loved the concept and world building was enough to enchant me on mermen! I will definitely read more by this author.
