Happy Halloween ya'll!

 
3/5

I don't typically read novellas because I like full and long novels. When I read the synopsis for this, I thought I would give it a go as I was intrigued. 

I enjoyed it, but I wasn't in love with it. 

I loved the beginning and the idea of the plot. The building was great at first. I was loving the characters and what the story could possibly bring. The pacing was how I like it at the start, but as the story went on it went down hill.  I get that it is a novella, but it felt like the second half was rushed and thrown together to make it work. I felt incomplete and I was left wanting for a much deeper ending. I never really got that moment you wait for in every romance novel. You know where your heart melts and you internally sigh. You know.  

I loved both the hero and heroine, and I really wish we could have met them in a full novel with a more developed story. Alas, it is not meant to be. I will survive.

If you like short and sweet regency romance, this is probably for you. I personally just need more depth.    

I really don't have the words for how pleasant of a surprise Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King was for me. I've heard great things, but I didn't really think I was going to absolutely love it. Maybe it was the cover that made me under estimate it? I really don't know. I'm also not big on books about pirates, so there's that as well. However I ended up  loving every minute I spent reading this. I was not happy when I saw I had but a few pages left, and even unhappier still when I reached the end.

Alosa is a firery main character. She is so saucy, and I absolutely love it. I have a feeling she will grow even stronger in the next installments of the series, and I look forward to seeing it. Alosa has secrets which you discover throughout the book, but you'll have to read it to find them out. She is clever, brave, and can fight like no other.

Riden is my favorite type of hero. He can match Alosa in banter and wit. He has a good heart and is loyal to a fault. He definitely has a romantic side and I so hope we get to see much more of that as the story continues.

Almost all of the book is set on a ship Even though it is an unchanging scenery, I never once was bored. In fact, I was hooked right from the beginning. I might have devoured this in the course of one day. The plot has a steady place, and there are twists and turns throughout. Some you can see coming, some took me by a pleasant surprise.

If you are looking for a book full of fighting,  witty banter, and adventure then make sure you check this one out. I for one will be counting down the days until I get my hands on the sequel. It was a breath of fresh air in the reading slump I feel like I have been in lately.  

I can’t recall whose idea it was. Just that me and my shipmates were sick of wading through yet another unjust punishment detail. So we decide to take ourselves off on a short jaunt to the lower reaches of Space Station Hawking to prove that fertile English girls can also deal with danger.

The consequences of that single expedition change the lives of all four of us, as well as that of the stranger who steps in to save us down in lawless Basement Level. Now I have more excitement and danger than I can handle, while confronting lethal shipboard politics, kidnapping, betrayal. And murder.
