This book had me hooked from the first page. It's beautifully written and so immersive, it was so easy for me to feel like I was right there beside the characters. Elias is a great male main character, and he had my heart by the end of the book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.

Four star review. I really enjoyed the book and great characters and story. I highly recommend everyone reads this book if you are a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean and little mermaid too. I grew up with both films. I really enjoyed this book. Enjoy!
