Summary

Witch. Dangerous. The girl with fire in her hair and salt water in her veins, whose eyes will drag you in and crush your heart like an under tow. Nova McIntosh has been called many things—and they’re all true.

It’s said the bay of Loch Moira was once home to a flock of selkies, until its fishermen made a deal with a sea witch to steal their pelts, forcing them to retain their human forms and wed their captors. Today, when the moon is full, some say you can still see the witch’s descendants lead two girls down to the water, where they’re given to the ocean as penance for the selkies that perished on land.

The youngest in a long line of magical women bound to perform these sacrifices, Nova understands the need to be cold and merciless. So when she finds a boy washed up on the beach after a storm, she doesn’t expect to feel anything for him. However, the ocean has never given anything back alive, either, and the closer Nova grows to Arron, the closer she comes to unraveling the mystery behind his survival and discovering the key to ending her town’s curse.

Absolutely loved this unique story

I absolutely loved this story, I read this novel last July and was blown away by it. As soon as I saw there was an audio for it, I knew I had to listen to it and I was not disappointed. This audio is just perfect, the narrator really brings Village of Salt and Sorrow to life.
Her voice was perfect for the narration and for the characters, it's almost like she put her heart and soul into the reading, just as the book deserves.

I've already reviewed the novel and the writing side but I'll say it again, this novel is so beautifully written and the story of Undine and Nova really hits the bone, it's truly a beautiful story.
