Captivating
I really enjoyed the uniqueness of this, mermaids and dragons, sworn enemies, dark magic, then turns to friendship and love. It really was captivating to listen to. This is first of the series there was a lot of character and world building but it was done very well.
The narrator was fantastic, she put feeling into it and her voice was clear.

A sweet YA fantasy adventure
Mermaid's Destiny is a sweet, clean, little fantasy adventure, but despite being categorised as Epic Fantasy here, it felt much more like a Children's book. Until a gently passionate clinch in Chapter 25, I would have said it was solidly middle-grade, but the romance may bump it up to young YA. (Though it is not a 'kissing book', to paraphrase The Princess Bride, I think that it would have been in the 11-13 Years shelf of my local library.)
I found the story rather slow to get going, with dragon and mermaid taking forever to figure out where they were, how to escape, and whether or not to work together. Once they did, the action picked up, and they had to combine their strengths and overcome their people's indoctrinated prejudices to save Cirona's soul, and Argun's heart.
The language is very simple, there is no swearing, the lines between good and evil are distinct and unyielding, and the soulmates' faith in each other turns to a true love that conquers all. There are moral messages throughout, teaching the benefits of teamwork and friendship, embracing the differences between communities, and the perils of avarice and the pursuit of power.
Whilst there is some resolution, it's unfortunate that the story ended on quite such a cliffhanger, especially as the author appears to enjoy creating new series' more than she likes finishing them.
The narrator, Beverley Murray, had a nice, clear voice and read in a bright, lively, manner. Her performance reminded me of being read fairytales at bedtime as a child.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fantasy adventure they can listen to on road trips with older children, or those looking for a book to suit kids who are at that 'in between' age; too old for middle-grade books but not quite ready for the adult themes in YA.
*I received this audiobook free of charge from Audiobook Obsession in the hope of an honest, unbiased review.

Good PNR but ends in a cliffhanger
Royals from two different species (Mermaid, Cirona and Dragon, Argun) are captured. Can they get over their suspicion and distrust to work together to escape? I loved the banter and the push and pull as they decided whether they could trust each other (and which species is “superior”). There were some great scenes of action as they worked together against warlocks. Please note that this ends in a cliffhanger and the next book is not available. However, the book was nicely written with great descriptions. Very imaginative!
Beverley Murray did a good job narrating. She had a good ability to play multiple characters and I enjoyed listening to her tell the story.

3.5 Stars
I enjoyed the storyline. But it took effort to get through the beginning. It picks up mid way through, but the entire book is very wordy which makes it drag. This was my first book by this author, so I am unsure if this is a style or a one off. I was very intrigued by the mermaid, dragon pairing. Narrator was fine, no complaints. 🎧 AudiobookObsession

Great narration, intriguing story.
Beverley Murray does a great job bringing these characters to life. So much so that I got sucked into the story and forgot about the narration.
This book intrigued me from the start, I wasn't at all sure where it was going or what was going to happen though I did guess the twist before it happened. But I loved watching it unfurl. I loved the way the relationship built across the book and how it wasn't all plain sailing. I was really quite sad at how it ended and hope this is resolved further on in the series.

Good start
Good start to this series. The characters are interesting and stubborn! Gives the book a bit of humour listening to them bickering.

Meragon Mermaids Destiny
The narration by Beverley Murray was a first for me, the performance was well done, her voice was very clear, and she did a great job with the voices.
This is only the second book I've read/listened to by Mira crest and I very much enjoy the creativity she has for paranormal stories. Two royal shifters - a mermaid and a dragon - trapped together, they must learn to trust each other if they ever plan to make it out of their prison. The majority of this story was very well written, but the ending does fall a bit flat.

Meragon Book One
Meragon Book One.
Cirona and her mermaid sisters are out one day and they notice a strange sight above. Cirona is sidetracked by the human man falling, though, and is captured. When she awakens in a cell with a dragon just outside the bars, she immediately fears the worst. However, after Argun begins speaking with her, she realizes he is in an adjacent cell. The mermaids and dragons have a long rivalry, but Cirona is determined to get the dragon to work with her to free them. However, once they are free, they realize that their freedom isn't the only victory they need to accomplish.
If you're looking for a multi-race fantasy series with an enemy-of-my-enemy theme, this is the book for you!

differently exciting, cliff hanger
Wow... This was a very interesting story. It made me think more of an adult fairytale. The writing was on point, and the narration was done well. I look forward to book 2. I need closure!!! Great story.
