[NO SPOILERS]
such a good fantasy read. i would highly recommend for ages 15 and above. please check the content warnings before reading though. it might be too overwhelming for some people. i would not recommend this book as like the very first book you read as a teen. start with something more lighthearted and easy to read. read this after like 5 different books or so. its a really good book for getting into fantasy though! 

(the content warnings i've put is for both the first and second book of this duology)

Not only is she the daughter of the pirate king but she’s the daughter of a siren. This comes with all types of special abilities. She also finds herself falling for a man who doesn’t care that she’s a siren but also doesn’t want her to use her abilities on him. Can they find the treasure island without facing the wrath of the pirate king? What about the sirens, their calls are coming louder now.

This was such a fun, quick, summer read! I read it in two days and when I wasn’t reading it - I was wishing I was reading it. I love the characters and their relationships. The found family in this book is so heartwarming and I love how the writing style pushes the plot forward. It was a good break from some heavier memoirs I’ve been working through. My only qualm was the slow-burn romance that really never had a big moment. I also feel it is a tad unresolved with some of the smaller characters but possibly that will be sorted out in the companion novel coming out in November! I just love a YA happy ending book that leaves you feeling good. Highly recommend to all.
