Lizzie has never had a problem getting what she wants. As a bloodline vampire, she usually just takes it. And right now, she wants her family heirlooms that were stolen from her, and a portal home.
When the boat she’s on rescues a selkie from captivity, Lizzie sees this as a great solution, the selkie will be her guide, and Lizzie will help her get her skin back.
But Maeve, the selkie’s skin was stolen, and getting it back is going to be dangerous. Will Lizzie’s skills and Maeve’s selkie strength be enough to get it back?
Thoughts:
This was a fun sequel that picked up where the last book ended. While I do think that this book would work as a standalone, I felt I got more out of it by reading it in order as we were introduced to some of the characters in the first book.
I do think that this series has more build up to the romance than most of the other Katee Robert books I’ve read, these are slower burn, but not incredibly slow to where it’s frustrating. I have listened to both books on audio, and for me that is my favorite way to enjoy this series.
The narrator has done a fantastic job bringing all the characters to life in an enjoyable way. The characters in this story were a lot of fun. I don’t think that they had a ton of depth necessarily, but it wasn’t a huge drawback as the story was compelling enough to make up for it.
I think that Katee Robert writes my favorite spice scenes, and this book did not disappoint in that regard.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter in this Crimson Sails series!
