One of the many engineers that keeps Beta, the city under the sea, running, Mira only wants to make her family proud and to prove herself worthy. She knows the mysterious city better than anyone and it’s her dream to help it flourish.
But then, on a solo job in an abandoned section of the city, she encounters a monster of legend. An undine. A dangerous merman from an ancient civilization, long forgotten.
Arges has fought his entire life for his people. With deadly creatures under his control, he plans to eradicate Beta once and for all to protect his kind and their peaceful way of life. But when a human woman saves him, she unknowingly creates a bond between them, one he can’t ignore. Even though her flaming red hair haunts his dreams, he needs her for information on the undine’s enemies.
So he steals her. Keeps her. Feeds her. Only to realize their bond is far deeper than captor and captive. He cannot let her go—but he cannot keep her under the sea. In a battle to determine if love can survive a war beneath the waves, it will be their decision that changes the tides.

I loved the slow burn. I loved the robot. The spice was good.
I wish we would of learned more about the underwater cities more throughout than all at the end.

hehehehehe this book made me cackle like a gremlin. I loved every moment of this book, from the initial hatred from Arges to the love that ends up blossoming. Like many of these fast paced books, there are a few plot holes but it was very enjoyable nonetheless.
Definitely earns a respectable 3 stars for its imaginative take on the enemies-to-lovers trope set in a modern Atlantis with merpeople. The novel shines with its unique underwater setting, offering a refreshing twist in the fantasy romance genre.
The slow-burn romance is a double-edged sword. It realistically evolves from animosity to affection, but at times, the pace drags, which might test some readers' patience. The main characters are well-developed, but the supporting cast lacks the same depth, leading to missed opportunities in enriching the story.
The concept of Atlantis and merpeople is intriguing, but the world-building could be more consistent and detailed, leaving readers desiring a fuller exploration of this underwater realm.
Overall, Whispers from the Deep is a decent read for those who enjoy a unique fantasy setting in their romance. While it stands out for its creative premise, the book falls short in fully developing its world and maintaining a steady narrative pace.”
