LJ Andrews is hands-down a new favorite! I definitely recommend also listening to the audiobook - the dual narration is perfection! I loved the premise of the FMC being taken from her kingdom by her childhood love - the Ever King - who may or may not be morally grey. A lot of things were revealed at the end, and I love a good cliff hanger. I can't wait for this newly released version and to FINALLY read the 2nd book! Sizzling hot romance, with a sort-of friends to enemies to lovers back to enemies...perfection!

I love a flirty growly pirate fae mmc who wears earrings and a little head sash. Like that's actually all I want in life in case anyone was wondering!
LJ Andrew’s does the most beautiful job world building and creating a cast full of the most interesting characters. I get so sucked into her worlds and every single one of her books just truly draws me in and makes me feel like I’m a part of it!

-Enjoyable read for romantasy lovers who also enjoy a pirate/sea feel
-Kept my interest and will certainly read the next in the series
-Really like the MMC and appreciated him not having the typical appearance
-There is spice and quick bonding

Thank-you NetGalley and publishers!

Very fun read! I enjoyed every page of this book. Erik Bloodsinger and his crew are memorable characters and I loved every moment of their pirate life on the sea. This story is addicting and once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. The romance is a slow burn with drama sprinkled throughout that had me absolutely invested from start to finish.

Overall, the plot is entertaining, adventurous, and the world building is easy to follow. I'll definitely pick up the next book and I am so excited for more Jonas! I've got my fingers crossed for what's next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the opportunity to read a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Thanks for the advanced copy of this book! I love this story and the relationship between the songbird and her serpent! I can’t wait to read the next part of this intriguing tale and to see how their story ends. You meet many people and get whisked to a new world in this wonderful seafaring adventure.

Back in May, I read The Broken Kingdoms series (prequel to the Ever Seas) and LOVED it; I finally got around to reading this spin-off & ohhhh my gosh! So good.

I just cannot quit fantasy, apparently. BUT give me romantasy + pirates? Sweetfreakingspot.
Definitely recommend.
