Publisher's summary

Don't swim in my waters...

I've got a bad reputation, and all because of my jackass brother. Yes, I'm known as the mother of all sea monsters. And yes, I can control powerful creatures who kill and destroy on my command.

But no, I'm not actually in charge. I'm my brother's slave.

So, life sucks just about as much as it possibly can. At least that's what I thought until my brother decides I'm more useful sacrificed to angry sea dragons who despise mermaids. And when I see gargoyles heading straight for me, all I'm left wondering is who will kill me first - the winged monster-hunters, or the angry sea dragons?

What I don't expect? The gargoyles don't know who or what I am. So maybe, just maybe, if I can hide my identity long enough, I'll survive. But it might take a little distraction to accomplish. The thing is, I don't think I mind distracting four hard-as-stone gargoyles who can't stop staring. As long as at the end of this, I don't end up with my head on a platter.

Keto's Tale is a steamy reverse harem romance that involves one lucky mermaid and four hot gargoyles. It's also a #whychoose romance, meaning the heroine doesn't have to choose between her stone-hard love interests.

Awesome Production!

This review is part praise and part response. I saw a review that said the audio stopped at chapter 26. That was not my experience at all. I have all the audio, 100%. So perhaps the other listener has a technical issue with their phone or something else? But I agree with the other reviewer about the book. It's excellent. I loved the story and loved each narrator. I hope the other reviewer has a chance to hear the last few chapters! Definitely worth it!

Great adventure and very sexy

I haven't found a book by Lacey that I haven't loved. Enjoy this action filled cliterature! I know I did. I liked Keto's innocent personality and the strong men who attended her storyline. Adventurous and sexy! Can't wait to read the next book!

Narration was good but story needed work!

The following ratings are out of 5:

Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Full Cast Dual Narration

The heroine: Keto - she is a mermaid who is often on the run from mermaid hunters. She is a slave to her brother, despised and feared by her own kind. So, she avoids them as much as she can and has developed a fondness for the surface, the sand, the sun and the wind. She can control the water and the sea creatures. She is a goddess who has died before at her brothers hand and had to claw her way out of Hades and she fears that happening again which is why she has to obey her brother. Her brother has her send her creatures to kill the people on ships and he then collects the riches on board.

The Story: When Keto’s brother summons her one day, he wants to fulfill a prophecy that only a mermaid princess can sate the sea dragon’s lust and return the oceans to the mer people. He puts her in a cage and plans to sacrifice her to the sea dragons. Keto has a phobia about being locked up in small places so she goes a bit crazy when her brother locks her up. When the sea dragons surround her cage, after killing all her brothers minions who put her cage in the dragon territory, she tries to talk them out of killing her. Then she sees gargoyles in the sky heading straight for her.

The Heroes: Arthur, Clark, Steven and Max - the gargoyles have searched the ocean for a monster (named Keto) who is legendary for her cruelty and violence. They can’t return without taking her prisoner but can’t return without her. They see a woman in trouble and feel the need to save her (Note: Keto gets legs when she is on land). They save Keto from the dragons.

The dialogue was pretty inane and this book definitely started getting steamy too soon in the story. Though a reverse harem standalone with four men and one female that is only 220 pages, pretty much would have to be insta-love. Also I wasn’t too fond of the gargoyles back story about having only 3 female gargoyles for a bunch of male gargoyle brotherhoods.

This book was told in multiple points of view by a full cast via dual narration. It and was narrated by Jessie Bernstein (Arthur), Sierra Kline (Keto), Tim Paige (Steven), Matthew Maddux (Max), and Curt Bonnem (Clark). Sierra Kline has a soft, feminine voice which was pleasant. Matthew Maddux has a deep voice which I liked, though he sounded like he was reading. Jessie Bernstein’s voice was a bit nasal sounding, not my favorite at all. Tim Paige and Curt Bonnem both have a nice voices and ares good narrators. I just wished the story was better.
