The sneak peek of Seafire by Natalie C. Parker is a tale of Caledonia Styx and her crew of bad ass female pirates. This is a tale of revenge for Caledonia and Pisces due to the unfortunate chain of events that led to their families dying in the prologue. In four years after the tragic event, Caledonia is a captain on the seas. There were interesting aspects of the book that I liked, such as the close knit group of women on Styx's ship, the events that shaped Caledonia to be the woman that she is. I want to know the backstory to the rise of the evil rule in this story. I will be buying this book, and for a sneak peek, it has me excited for this nautical adventure.

Terrific sneak peek! I love the characters and story already, and I can't wait to read the rest. This book is one to watch.

What a powerful beginning for a story! From what I've gathered from these first few chapters, this is an action-packed story full of exciting characters with interesting backgrounds. I loved the beginning of this, which was highly unexpected. The narrative was beautiful. This is a book I would definitely recommend to everyone who loves fiction and fantasy.

This sneak peek of Seafire has me wanting to read the whole novel right now. I can’t wait to get my hands on Seafire. This story sounds so good.

I had seen this and thought it sounded like something that I would enjoy. To be honest though, I don’t think I got enough of a feel for it in the short few chapters so I’ll definitely be taking a look when it’s released.

I’m glad I got to check out a sneak peek of this book. This one wasn’t really on my radar. I have noticed the beautiful cover popping up here and there, but it isn’t something I’ve been actively looking forward to. The part that got my attention was the all girl ship’s crew. That sounded very interesting. And it probably is. However, I’m not sure I’ll be picking this one up. The author’s writing style kind of bothered me. It felt a little too dramatic and wordy for what she was trying to convey. It could be I’m just not in the mood for a YA pirate fantasy at the moment, but we’ll see. I’m sure this will be a popular book this year. I may pick it up eventually.

This sneak peek really makes me want to read the entire book! I am a big fan of YA and this just left me wanting so much more! I hope to read this soon! Thanks for the opportunity!

Review of Sneak Peek:

What little I read of Seafire has me all too excited to experience the rest of the story. A heroine leading a team of women in a cut-throat world on water and the decisions that brought her to that point in time made for an enthralling snippet. Oftentimes I'm a picky reader when it comes to writers, but Parker's writing style was fluid and all-too-easy to fall into. I'm desperate for the rest of the story, to see a lead female character who has regrets and heavy responsibility on her shoulders handles it all, and how ultimately everything she decides will fall on those around her. I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

I'm excited to read this book. Hopefully, it won't turn out to be a disappointment like Zenith was. I really did enjoy this sneak peek and as I said I can't wait to fully read it.

I received a sneak peak sampler of this book, and after a very short while I told myself I need to get my hands on the full version. From very early on your captivated by the author and her descriptions of this world she has beautifully created. I’m already intrigued by the characters and the family dynamic, and the all-fearsome Aric. Anyways, totally recommended, and I can’t wait to buy the full version of this book to see how the story progresses.

This is a review for a sneak peak at Seafire. Wow! Once you start reading the story grabs hold and doesn't let you go. The story line is compelling and interesting and unlike anything else I have read. And that is just from the three chapters available to read. Looking forward to reading the rest of the book.

SNEAK PEEK: Seafire is a stunning excerpt of the first in a heart-stopping trilogy by Natalie C. Parker. It highlights female power, as it follows the captain of an all-female ship pitted against a warlord's aggressive fleet ... and makes you hungry for more from the ever talented Parker. Highly recommended!

I know this is only a sampler but from what I have seen this is going to be AMAZING! It's girls and pirates and badarse women. can't wait to read the whole thing in just a few weeks.

The characters catch you right from the beginning; the struggle comes early, even as the reader starts feeling sympathy for the "bad guys," just as the main character does, to a horrifying end.

Seafire is a pirate adventure, at its least, and an intriguing look at family, girl power, and war. I wanted to read the whole book right there, but since this is a preview, I'll have to wait.

This is a special book -- kids and adults alike are going to love it!

I can't wait to read the rest of this!

In only a few short chapters, Parker has set up her heroine(s), her enemy, a possible enemy/love interest and given enough action to make me excited to keep reading. If it continues well, this would be a great read for fans of Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess!

Ready for an all female crew on the high seas adventure. Beyond ready! Gripping from the very first page and has me ready to follow Cala anywhere!

Loved this! Just got a sneak peek but the first few chapters were heart-breaking, gripping, suspenseful and VERY exciting. Think Pirates of the Caribbean with an all-female crew. Seaford takes girl-power to its best fantastical limits. I can't wait to read the rest!!!!

My Thoughts:
I really do not like to ask for sneak peeks only because I usually only choose books that interest me beyond the description. One example is the graphic novel Sheets that I reviewed as a sneak peek in May. I was enamored by the cover, the simple drawing style and just enough of the story before the preview ended. Still, I could not actually get a full copy until July so sometimes I forget that I am watching the calendar because I read so many other things in between.

However, Seafire is another one that I chose, not for the cover but for the pirate aspect. Like
the Bloody Jack series, I love me some girl pirates who take over. True, Caledonia is not the pirate. The pirates are the bad guys, however, there be pirate behavior and fights on the seas. I was also drawn to the epigraph on the cover:
Sisterhood is Survival
This one comes out at the end of August when school is started. I hope I remember to request it because the preview seemed frustratingly short.

**Sample only**
Man this is worth all the hype it's getting! I normally get confused with nautical books or books that deal with airships or regular sea ships, since I don't know the terminology very well. But the author does an awesome job to help you picture everything that's happening so you're not lost. I also love the fact that this seems like an island fantasy world and the prologue is such a great hook! I can't wait for the full book to come out soon :)
