I was drawn into an enthralling world where Lizzie, a formidable bloodline vampire, teams up with Maeve, a selkie, to retrieve stolen treasures and a lost skin. Their quest leads them through dangerous waters, especially with the fearsome Cŵn Annwn in pursuit. The unlikely alliance between the vampire and the selkie evolves beautifully into a complex relationship, rich with tension and attraction. The story masterfully blends elements of fantasy and romance, making each page a thrilling ride. I particularly enjoyed the deep character development and the vividly depicted magical elements, creating a truly immersive experience. This book is a fantastic addition to any fantasy lover's collection.

Another excellent story by Robert's!
Lizzie is a badass vampire. Maeve is an awesome selkie. Together they are a great couple!
I love how Lizzie softens but never really changes her principles I love how you see Maeve find herself and her strength.
I'm excited to see where this series is going and how the rebellion will kick Cŵn Annwn ass in the end.

I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was surprised by how much I loved this book.
Obviously, it's a book I was interested in since I read, and loved, the first one, and the premise of a Sapphic Romance between a Selkie & a Vampire with such different personalities was absolutely intriguing. I was nervous though cause obviously Lizzie hadn't left the best impression upon me during the first book. I couldn't stop myself from immediately requesting an arc though when I saw it was available. I mean yeah, I'd already pre-ordered, but I didn't want to have to wait - heh, life made me wait anyways, but what ya gonna do? - and was stunned when I got approved. And let me tell you, this book. . . This book had it all. Sea battles, boat fights, clashing personalities, hot sex scenes, and beautiful Romance.
My emotions were all over the place. Maeve is just such a delightful character that worked her way into my heart easily, and Lizzie. . . ahh, Lizzie, I didn't expect to love her so much. Her growth though is just so beautiful. Honestly, I might love these two even more Evelyn and Bowen and I didn't think that was possible. Watching these two women, both strong in their own ways be vulnerable with each other and fall in love was just so wonderful. And the sex scenes were definitely hot between them. Definitely needed a cold drink when reading this book cause whew! they were spicy.
Once again the side characters were just done so well, and as diverse as the first book. I was already interested in so many of these characters from the first book and now there's even more especially as the story of the rebellion gets more and more intriguing. I can't wait to see where this goes and to learn more of this fascinating world. And, of course, the representation of mental health topics were handled so wonderfully again. It is definitely safe to say I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

I didn’t like this one as much as the first. It is the second in the series but can be read as stand-alone I think. It does reference back to a bit of the plot in the first one, but it has its own plot. It is female, female which doesn’t worry me, but I think this is the first book I have listened to that is solely F/F. I like the narrators as I have listened to them in other books. I think there is going to be another book in this series and I can kinda guess who it will be about. I will be adding it to my TBL (to be listen) list.

Personally, it was not my favorite read, but Katee is my favorite author so I’ll read anything she writes. I did warm up to the story near the ending, and I am excited to read the next one in the series.
