LJ Andrews does not hold back in this thrilling conclusion to Erik and Livia's epic romance. The Ever Queen is action packed and full of high stakes and adventure.

We see a lot more of Livia's family in this book and I quickly became attached to all of them! I loved seeing the worlds of the earth and sea faes collide and witnessing their reactions to the different dynamics. The ship battles were even more intense than the first book. Every battle had me at the edge of my seat. 

Erik and Livia continue to astound me with their passion and complete devotion to one another even in the face of all the obstacles that were thrown at them. Their character growth was well done and you can see them really coming into their own in this sequel. They treat each other as equals and would do pretty much anything for the other, even if that something crosses the line into morally grey territory...which honestly I don't have a problem with!

If you're looking to sail away on an exciting sea adventure, then look no further than The Ever Seas duology. I highly recommend this for lovers of pirate fantasies, found family, and seductive romances. 

Thank you LJ Andrews for sending me an ARC 🫶🏼
