Vampires, Witches, and PIRATES?! YES PLEASE. I did not think this would work, but it did. I loved everything about this book. Bowen? YES. Evelyn? YES. Both together? YESSSS. Fleeing from her vampire ex, Evelyn falls through a portal into another realm. She is found by pirates with a telekinetic captain, Bowen.
Forced proximity, enemies to lovers, witch/telekinetic.

PopSugar 2024 reading challenge #6
Katee Robert -- I love her work. This one... a little different.
I loved Bowen and, honestly, he was the main reason I kept reading this one. It took a bit to get invested in the story, but Bowen held his ground, and eventually I was slowly finding the story to be more enjoyable. There's just a lot going on... vampires, pirates, witches, world switching (and maybe kind of poor world creation, honestly). Again, there was a bit too much going on to really grab the story and love it.
But, in the end, it was still a fun read.
Added: The next story in the series isn't about Bowen at all (or, yet, I should say, I haven't finished it). Instead, it follows Lizzie. Weird twist. But I guess I'll travel that road as well!

Ignorance was truly bliss in this book. And murder was also bliss.
This book about pirates and every paranormal creature you can think of is somehow boring. A pick pocketing witch is a fun character but that’s all she is.
I have so many questions about Bowen and his past and his power. But I still probably read book 2. And that’s everything you need to know.
Using your magic to f**k her instead of your hands, lazzzyyyyy and not hot, actually kind of weird

Katee Robert always delivers a fun and spicy read and Hunt on Dark Waters was no exception. Since this was the first in a series, it had to introduce the new world and overarching plot in addition to provide the romance plot. I could have used a little more on the world and the direction for the series, but overall, a fun read.
