ARC REVIEW: The Seas Between Us by Jana Sun
The Seas Between Us is an urban fantasy romance by indie author Jana Sun. Merrow has been saddled with a terrible burdensome task: if she fails to complete it, the lives of her tribe will cease to exist as she knows them, and so, to keep them safe, she must lure a human to the sea. Owen, a struggling artist with the gentlest of souls, feels as free with a paintbrush in hand as he does by the sea, as though it calls to him, but he is as isolated as an island in the vast ocean and finds himself placed in Merrow’s crosshairs. But perhaps a terrible fate wasn’t what allowed their paths to cross; perhaps fate just meant for them to find each other, a soul that spoke so completely to their own. A love so strong it felt like destiny had played a part… if only time wasn’t slipping away and the weight of many lives wasn’t an iron cuff a second away from pulling them under ever-darkening waves and drowning any hope that had wished to bubble to the surface.
