So much to unpack from that book. Loved all the little moments that built on earlier books in both this series and Mercy's.
Anna and Charles are one of my favourite couples, and this book did not disappoint for that.

Steamy is an understatement. Loved this one so much.
Read this if: you're looking for a super hot good time.
Don't read this if: you are offended by books having no plot.

I love Kaja so much!
Great series continuation, with both the overall series storyline and this book's couple.

This one packed a big emotional punch. I love these characters so much.

Despite this book having 3 tropes I'm really not keen on, I enjoyed reading it. The scene by the Eiffel Tower was super hot.
I did mentally age her up 10 years and him down 10 years, because otherwise my brain would not have coped.

Wow, I knew this had been described as like therapy for religious trauma but I didn't expect it to hit so damn hard.
Amazing book.

Good one to read if you're looking for more hot than plot.

Great introduction to a fantasy world.
There are definite consent issues early on - very much in line with the world vibe but something to keep in mind.
The symbiotic twin magic was cool.
Excited to read more from this world.

Loved reading this book. Great relationship dynamics all round and hot as hell.

Sapphic fantasy romance with both fun and feels.

Lizzie is a vampire who ended up in Threshold when trying to chase her thieving ex-girlfriend. Still trying to track down the jewels that were taken, she teams up with Maeve - a selkie whose pelt has been stolen.

This is the second book in Crimson Sails, a pirate fantasy romance series. Lizzie appears in book 1, which also contains a lot of the setup for the rebellion Maeve is part of. But because this series is mostly fantasy vibes rather than a super formal world setup I'd say you can read this standalone (you just might not get as many references).

This was one of my most anticipated releases this year (I was always going to be sold at fantasy romance, vampire, sapphic and Katee Robert). With such high expectations I was nervous going in, but it DID NOT disappoint. I love Lizzie and Maeve so much, both individually and together. Honestly I just couldn't stop smiling while reading.

With both main characters hunting down items stolen by an ex-lover, there were clearly a few trust issues going on. And there was also a big theme of loyalty to a cause (the rebellion). The build up of feelings from the initial mutual lust was done beautifully.

Of course, being a Katee Robert book, the spice was top tier. Beautifully written scenes, and very creative use of blood magic...

This is not a book to read if you have a phobia of the ocean, but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a fun and steamy sapphic romance with pirate and fantasy vibes.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free copy. All thoughts are my own.
