When she started being vulnerable to those around her, then I bought in. And this mostly came in the form of Alosa’s inner conflict. Thankfully, after I got past the beginning, things started to get more interesting. It was just irritatingly slow and the writing was frustrating to me. It wasn’t because I’d forgotten what had happened or who the characters were I read the first book only a few months ago and still remembered most of it. I struggled to even want to pick up the book for like the first sixty pages. Pirates (which are awesome), sirens (which were interesting), and a hot first mate, OH MY! I noted that there were some issues with the writing from time to time, but it was something I could overlook. So when I read the first book in this series, I thought it was interesting.

She’s also daughter of the Siren Queen, and she’s going to use it.

The Pirate King isn’t going to let Alosa wander free knowing what she does…but Alosa isn’t just the daughter of the Pirate King. But when Vordan tells Alosa a secret her father has kept for years, she finds herself in a deadly race to outpace her father. Besides, he’s a distraction when all she wants is to have Vordan, the man who tortured her, face her father’s justice. The only thing that unsettles Alosa is that the devilishly handsome enemy-turned-first-mate, Riden, is loyal and taking orders from her…but she isn’t sure it’ll always stay that way. Can’t turn that down.Īlosa has finally done it: she’s reunited the three pieces of the legendary treasure map and captured the pirates who tortured her. But like, I also wasn’t going to turn this down when it has female pirates and clever plot twists and sirens. You know, there aren’t a lot of duologies out there, and it’s kind of interesting to see how a story arcs over only 2 books. I catch the pirate before his corpse hits the ground and gently lower him the rest of the way. First Lines: The sound of my knife slitting across a throat feels much too loud in the darkness.
