What it’s about
Alosa’s mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. First mate Riden, still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, is a constant distraction, but now he’s under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon be facing her father’s justice.
When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first…
After all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.

What I Thought
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
As I’ve loved Pirates since Johnny Depp left the mast of his borrowed boat in The Curse of the Black Pearl when I saw this book on NetGalley I knew I had to have it.
This was a fantastic YA book with such a strong main character, such a refreshing change from the Damsel in distress we normally see in Pirate-related things.
Alosa is fun, quick-witted with a sharp temper and she is unapologetically her own person. She doesn’t appear to take any crap from anyone but more so from Riden and his brother Draxen.
I thought that Riden was a little soft to be a Pirate but once you find out his story it’s completely understandable and why he has such a kind and gentle spirit. Draxen on the other hand is a piece of shit and I couldn’t care for him.
The slow-burn romance was fabulous and can’t wait for more. Yay for no love triangles in this. I’m currently sick of reading about love triangles and I hope I haven’t spoke too soon.
Looking forward to reading book 2.
