The Selkie Bride

A Historical Scottish Paranormal Romance

By: Melanie Jackson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Into the Gloaming

Recently widowed, Megan Culbin was glad to escape her abusive marriage and start over in an inherited cottage in a quaint Scottish village. Yes, all here was not as it seemed. Legend had it Finloss was cursed. And the coastal town, once home to witches and sea monsters, would soon see a creature far deadlier.

"[A] page-turning paranormal romance!"
---Booklist

But out of the sea and mist came an ally, a protector. The strange, distant and dangerous Lachlan was as powerful as he was handsome, and his thirst for vengeance could no more be denied than his passion for Megan. Together with an inherited (and possibly ghostly) cat, Megan and her Selkie warrior would destroy their merciless foe, uncover an ancient Scots magic... and solve the mystery of a stolen heart.

No to Robo voice, Yay for the Selkie parts

It felt like there was way too much exposition in the first 14 chapters. I wasn’t truly hooked until ch 15 when things were really progressing between the female main character and the Selkie male love interest. I enjoyed the ending. Nearly gave up reading within the first 14 chapters because the robotic narrator made the writing so dry and sleep inducing. I suggest not using a robot narrator for future works. I’m glad I stuck with this because I enjoyed how it ended and how it’s clear that the author looked into and showed Gaelic & Selkie lore/mythology. I thought it was charming that Selkies made cheese out of seal milk.

I love selkies and mermaids

The virtual voice wasn’t very good , it lacks emotion. Please try to get a real person.
