◦ I've received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ◦
The story begins with Emme who’s pursued by Arn on following him to the high seas to find the treasure of Barnabe De – the legendary pirate who presumptively has passed away and everyone’s after his treasure.
The book for me personally has been a fast and quick read, I’ve devoured the book pretty quickly and I don’t know when I finished it – that’s how into the book I was. The world-building sucked me in right from the get-go, it’s been so amazing. Each scene was developing behind my eyes like a movie, and one scene in particular for a split moment made me feel I am in the book and I experience it – it’s the scene with the merfolk and once you read that scene you’ll know what I talk about because it was WOW.
The book contains friends to lovers trope, merfolk, and other frightening creatures that lurk in the dark waters, ghosts and so many more things that make this book such a great read. Even tho the book contains plenty of details they were so perfectly woven with the story that they didn’t make me feel overwhelmed or the story too stuffy – it was just the perfect amount vs the story development.
The story is being told from different pov’s and I loved the change from Emme to Arn, to see their feelings and actions when comes to different events. Then towards the end, we get 2 more pov’s and the info that we get towards the end is legit mindblowing!
The book initially didn’t have many plot twists - they were there but not to make me go wow – till the end, towards the end we’re being revealed a very big secret that I haven’t seen it coming, that secret is for sure going to change the curse of the story on the 2nd book and I’m really excited to read the next one!
