I have really mixed thoughts on this one. Loved the premise, though the execution fell short. Actually really liked Morgane as a character, although I couldn't tell at times how old she was meant to be. She came across as about 10 at times.

As a book sold as a sapphic pirate book with vampires, there was no hint of fantasy until 64% with a pretty random werewolf appearance. The romance again, came from nowhere at 73% and 90% found the vampires.

Wish I could say I liked it more than I did, but I can't. Sorry.

Thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins UK for this eArc in exchange for a review.

I have so many thoughts about this book, I'm struggling to put them into coherent sentences.
The storyline contained many elements I love in a book. Malfunctioning families, folklore, historical fiction, feminist undertones and of course mythical creatures.

The multi POV over different time periods works really well and the pace kept me wanting to read on and on and on.

I hesitate to say, but I think I preferred this one to Wayward?
