Crossbones by Kimberly Vale
Did not finish book.
I DNFed this one around 75%. Not because it wasn’t delightful, it was. I think this book is very interesting, but not really what I was looking for right now.
Let me start by saying this is a wattpad published book that I received an ARC Of. I was really excited about it because the description is really awesome, and it’s a standalone pirate book with a little bit of a heist twist. The characters are absolutely wonderful, and the plot moves at a fantastic pace.
I will probably finish it eventually
My problem with this book is that it is a standalone, but it wants to pull the emotional intensity of a series. Characters have deep dark secrets, and really emotionally intense conversations that sometimes don’t feel earned. Well the plot pace is excellent, sometimes the characterization can feel like it’s going a little bit too fast. I can imagine reading this on wattpad And being completely starry eyed. It’s just excellent work for being such a short piece of fiction, but if we’re going to treat it as a published work it actually really should’ve been longer, which is some thing I don’t see a lot.
If you like pirate stuff, multi POV, great characters, and bickering romances, I think this book will really hit the spot. The writing is a little bit juvenile but it’s easy to follow and it’s not bad at all. The author draws you into the characters almost immediately and they’re really fun to follow. Again, I probably would’ve finished this book if I was more in the mood and I didn’t have a large backlogged TBR.
