I truly can’t say enough about how much I love this series. Book 2 didn’t disappoint at all and I’m so sad it’s over. I won’t just miss Rose and Bash but the entire crew of the Wraith. Anyone want to run away and become badass, seafaring pirates? 🏴☠️🙋♀️🐙
I already want to read them both again…

How this series isn’t being talked about all over the book world has me shocked. It’s a newer series by an indie author and is absolutely killer! There isn’t a slow or dull moment. Filled with action and adventure, high stakes and deep sea monsters, treasure and ancient myths. Highly recommend reading! Solid five star read!

Hmmm, it’s 3.5⭐️s rounded up.
I was very excited about the second instalment of this duology because the first book was such a fun read!
I did highlight a lot while reading because I did enjoy the wisdom that was sprinkled throughout; however, I do think the pacing of this book was a bit odd.
The beginning sets up Bash and Oscar in jail while Rose is fighting for their freedom, and I had to be honest, Bash’s chapters were difficult to get through. Then sudden action started and we were travelling all the time. But geographically I did have a lot of trouble keeping up with it. Like going from London to Azores but somehow the Aloja near Mallorca were in the way? It might be me not paying attention but this sounded more like Madeira to me. And this took up so little time while going back to the pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) took 5 days. I’m the kind of reader that cannot switch off her engineer brain and this was bugging me.
The endgame/resolution seemed a bit anticlimactic (again, for me), since I was waiting for some kind of power-revelation regarding Rose.
I would recommend this book to read just don’t overanalyse geography. :D

This was sooo good- and better than the first in my opinion! Gimme all the pirates..

I find it wickedly unfair to other books that this one exists. It has been tattooed on my chest like a pirate's mark. I feel like I sailed the Deep with the crew. Lost and loved with them too. I simultaneously wanted to know the ending, but to live in this world a little longer. I can't stop gushing about JA Good's writing style. Some descriptions in this book felt like poetry.
I loved the blurbs before every chapter. Her characters always have a real heart to them. I mean somehow, I ended up with feelings for a hermit crab along the way! This book hurt me in the best ways possible. JA Good has turned into a must read / auto buy author!
My thoughts as I read and no this was not all of them:

I'm having a hard time rating this one, so I'm going to leave it in the middle. I will say that I have enjoyed this duology, it is a fun time full of adventure and drama and if I don't think too hard about it, I don't have any issues. I love all our characters, main, side, and even the villains here. The first half of the book was definitely the best.
I really think this book should have gotten a couple more proof reads and edits. While I am able to look past these things, some were so incredibly jarring. Like mixing up character names! Oliver is kissing Inu? Oliver locked up with Sebastian? You mean Oscar? OOF. That was a pretty big whoopsie for me that I couldn't really shake. Also some parts a new line would start in the middle of a sentence, obviously by accident, and some time later in the book, the first few sentences of a new chapter were formatted up in The Mysterious Deep excerpts, or the excerpt was weirdly double/triple spaced leaving room for only about a sentence or two of the actual chapter... while this is not why I have rated this only 3 stars, it does lead me to believe that this was perhaps rushed out too soon.
So lets get into the nitty gritty....
Spoilers ahead...
I am disappointed by the "quickness" of everything. It is always "we need to go here and do this thing" and then suddenly we are there and it takes about five for it to all be over and done with. I also felt like we had sooo much build up to Rose being so special with ties to these mythical beasts, and we never really get to see the extent of that. I mean, Im glad that we were told what it was? kinda? The extent of her "gift" is an angry cat who loves her, a grumpy crab who tags along for the last couple chapters, and Koinu helping them steer clear of the witches and lifting her up from the depths (both instances were a sentence really), and that is it. There was so much build up for sweet Koinu and I was just left pretty disappointed.
Inu and Val. I was..... underwhelmed, and that really pissed me off. I absolutely loved these characters, but it all happened so fast. I also wanted DESPERATELY for Inu and Rose to have a relationship that we got to see on the page. All the truce we got between them was in Roses POV where she says "we've come to an understanding and are better now" (barely paraphrasing here) and so when everything happens I found it to be... forced? I don't know, I just feel some type a way about it. Val hurt more, but even then we never really got to SEE their relationship we are always just TOLD about it. Kit changed a lot of that, so I was happy to see more of her character.
I think all in all, it is a good and fun time, if I don't think too far into things.

This final book was truly incredible. I was inspired by the wisdom that was embedded in the words of each character. The epilogue had be in tears. And the final letter by Cordelia Shaw had me in happy tears. This 2-part series has me raw. I had to take breaks between because I didn’t want it to end. Here are some of my most favourite quotes and excerpts that are not going to spoil the book but hopefully inspire you to read it:
P121: There comes a day when a woman stops believing the story written about her and begins writing the one she was born for.
P184: The moment you let me have you, you were mine whether you realized it or not.
P188: Where you go, I go from now on. You are the compass I worship.
P205: Always question the man who values power above all else; he has already forgotten what makes him human.
P224: Her smile was a light in the darkest night, and I had the distinct feeling that if I were ever lost, it would call me home to her.
P392: Obsession and vengeance were two sides of the same coin. The difference was love—love that said stop, love that said enough, love that anchored a person to life instead of letting them sink into purpose until it became a coffin.
And finally p402… which I will not reveal because it’s too precious to put here. You’ll just have to make it to that page and feel the reverence of the words of Cordelia Shaw. I hope you enjoy the books as much as I did.

Ahhh this is so hard for me. The first book was one of my favorite books of last year. Bash’s line about the afterlife during the Kraken attack is still one of my favorite quotes of all time.
This book is in need of a second edit. Mixing up Oliver and Oscar’s names to the point where Inu is calling her love the wrong name is very jarring. It happened in multiple lines.
I love Bash and Rose so much… but this one did not hit for me as much as book one did. Their reunion didn’t even feel special.
There was such a lead up to her being this daughter of the sea but nothing really happened with it. Yeah some animals are drawn to her but other than that…what’s the point? I was waiting for a big reveal to happen and it never did.
It felt like they got to Atlantis way too easily and there was no struggle to get there. We have no proper ending with Ximena. I was left disappointed with that scene.
I’m forever heartbroken about Inu and Val. Oscar deserved happiness :(
I fear this would have hit harder if it had been a trilogy where this book was focused on getting him out of the prison (imagine if she saved him right as he was being hung? Cinema) and then the third book would have had time to focus on Atlantis and not feel rushed.

I am still reeling from that ending…
I am also still shocked that this series isn’t way more popular - it’s Pirates of the Caribbean meets Bridgeton I mean what’s not to love!!
One comment I have is that I think this book would’ve worked better as a YA novel as opposed to an Adult romance (I just didn’t feel those scenes fit within the book and they felt out of place) but I still enjoyed this duology - it was such a fun read and a fascinating world with great characters. My biggest problem with the first book was that I didn’t love our FMC’s character arc and how long it took her to stop being annoying, but I loved her so much more in this book with how she grew into her role both on the ship, within her family in London society, and even just overall as a person.
My other gripe is that there were so many plot points that weren’t addressed/tied up at the end, which left me wanting to know more. After such a fantastic start, I felt the plot became rushed at the end of the book with a lot that went unexplained. And again, I was left stunned by some of the choices she made at the end iykyk, but it was still a very fun completed pirate romance that I would recommend!

The best pirate books I've ever read. This was pure Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann and I ate it up.
Inu, there's no words. One of the most powerful silent characters I've ever read.
All the characters had amazing arcs. But Rose left my jaw on the floor. Her strength and resilience, even when faced with impossible choices was incredible to read.
Bash was a pirate after my own heart. I loved how complex and layered he was and I appreciate the route the author took him in in this story.
" I swear to god, to the gods, the seas and the winds that the night sky never sparkles the way her green eyes did just then.bi could spend my whole life chasing after the feeling of watching joy alight her from within, and I would never find a similar novelty on any shore. Pirate, aristocrat, fiancé, they could call me whatever they wanted as long as she called me hers"
Oscar deserves his own story to be told, so I sincerely hope the author sees my review 🫰🏼

Good gosh. I have no words. Give me Pirates of the Caribbean with deep yearning, languid love and words and adventures and gripping world! Ahhh! This shocked me and made me bawl. Ohhh why! Inu and Val! This definitely felt so different than your regular romantasy. I felt like I was in a movie. No. I felt like I was in the Wraith fighting the Leviathan. Love it!! Okay now I have calmed down. The deep way I love this duology cannot be fathomed. It started slow, read it off and on over the holidaze, and bam. I was sat, and I held on for dear life. I am in awe on how it was written, so non boring. So intense and vivid and once you latch, oh dear, you better buckle up. You can feel each moment, each snipe, each caress, each wonder, each touch. The deep, too deep slow romance is unshakeable, unbothered, possessive too obsessive and I. AM . HERE. FOR IT. Oh the heartbreak, the way I sat up and bawled. Good Gosh. Oh Take me with you. Please. Trap me. Have me. Destroy meeeeeeeeeee.

This was such a bittersweet ending to a fun, fast paced, adventure filled duology. I am so in love with the pirates of the carribean vibes and the fantastical creatures and the absolute devotion the MMC & FMC have for eachother. I loved every piece of this, even though it broke my heart at the end 💔😭 The added political intrigue and dramatic and emotional storyline had me from the beginning and left me constantly wondering what the FMC was going to do next! I loved her unpredictability and the high stakes conclusion and the beauty of her found family and the love she has for all those around her, human and not. This is such a refreshing duology, that's so different than anything I have read recently, and I ate it up and enjoyed every moment. Who doesnt love sexy pirate captains, fabulous banter, the ocean backdrop and loveable kitty/sea monster guardians! Its a definite must read conclusion to the series and the whole duology will keep a piece of my heart ❤️

Pirates, Vengeance, and Bittersweet Goodbyes
The Mysterious Skies Above is a fun, high seas fantasy finale packed with pirates, danger, and a crew that truly feels like found family. I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to Rose, Bash, and the Sea Wraith. The sense of adventure and emotional connection to the characters is where this book shines the most, especially in the first half, which was fast-paced and immersive.
While I really enjoyed the story overall, there were some pacing and editing issues that pulled me out of the experience at times. Even so, the world is rich, the characters are memorable, and the stakes feel personal. If you enjoy pirate fantasy, sea magic, and character-driven adventures, this duology is worth the voyage. It may not be perfect, but it is absolutely an enjoyable and memorable ride.

I really loved this series. The author writes characters and the environment so well, you can truly imagine it all. You will fall in love with the characters and feel all the emotions they do.
One star lost because the editing of the book could do with A LOT of work. Some sentences didn't make sense and I needed to guess what words were meant to be written instead. Many grammatical and punctuations errors, even spacing of paragraphs at the start of the new chapters (however maybe this was just a kindle error??). The multiple errors in the book was enough to frustrate me, but the story was good enough that I continued to read and just put up with it. With a more thorough editing process, this book and series would easily be 5 ⭐️

This is a perfect ending to a really great duology.
Mysterious skies above is just as fun of a read as the first book. It’s fast paced (maybe too fast at times), full of mysterious creatures, romance and friendship.
There’s so much female empowerment in these books, with great characters like Rose, Inu, Val and Dilly and that’s refreshing. It’s great to see Rose finding herself and claim her freedom. Sebastian Flynn is likable as ever and he has a lot of great moments, but he felt a bit one-dimensional in this book.
All the side characters with the addition of Kit are so likable and adds to the story.
I really enjoyed the group venturing into London society, that had all the Bridgerton vibes but still Pirates coded and that was a lot of fun.

NOW THIS is a pirate story! Mysterious Skies Above has adventure, magic, mysterious creatures, and otherworldly artifacts. The first book was a good time, but this was fantastic, and the second book in a fantasy series can be hard. Rose and Bash are fantastic, and the Baileys are delightful, and the crew of pirates is such a good time. The villains and morally gray characters are three-dimensional, and there is actual pirating going on, which I've found lacking in all of my other attempts at a true pirate-themed romance. I mean, the captain gets a hook! A hook! This is what I wanted! Finally.

“Obsession and vengeance were two sides of the same coin. The difference was love.- love that said STOP, love that said ENOUGH, love that anchored a person to life instead of letting them sink into purpose until it became a coffin”
This book was so beautiful. The writing made me fall in love with the sea and want to set sail for the rest of my life. There is so much depth to the writing and story line. The sea takes but it also gives 10 fold. It was heartbreaking and beautiful all at once. The character froth and journeys and found family were written so well. It was raw and real.

The wait to find out what happens is over. I was looking forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint. The characters, the sea creatures, the adventure here are all 5 star. Picking up where the first book left off, it started in the middle of it all. This book doesn’t follow a traditional story line. Pages flew by and surprisingly there were many life lessons learnt as the characters grew through experience and relationships. Nice wrap up to it all as well.
December 22, 2025
I don't normally leave reviews, but I had to for this series! Love the adventure, the found family and the amazing banter throughout these two books. This last book had me laughing, yelling at it to NOT do what I feared it would do and tearing up. I feel like I was a part of this family and it's sad to say goodbye, but it's wonderful to know I can visit anytime.

I was so excited to dive back into the world of Vows of Vengence.
I loved book one and was waiting impatiently for this to come out haha
I loved the journey this took, Rose and Bash and the crew on the Sea Wraith.
I’m not giving anything away but it was beautifully written, the creatures from the deep I loved!
The story line was perfections.
Thank you J.A Good for this awesome duology .

LOTS of pacing issues (too much time spent on non-relevant plot scenes, especially considering they give up on their motives from book one). Plot doesn’t really even start until 60% in and everything was rushed from there. Unnecessary character deaths that didn’t really leave an emotional impact because we moved on so fast. Very disappointing considering I loved the first one so much.
January 20, 2026
I can’t emphasize enough how much I love this series. It had me in a chokehold for MONTHS. I don’t know whether to be relieved that the ending lived up to the start, or upset because it was perfection and I hate it when perfect things end 😭 Thanks to the author for this beautiful story and I hope she finds all the success! The vows of vengeance series will forever be in my top favorite books.
February 18, 2026
3.3. The beginning of the book was good but some how it felt lacking. It bummed me out because the first one was so good but something just didn’t hit for me. I felt like this could have been a longer book. What happened the sea witches? What happened to her family after everything? What about her relationship with her sister? She never learned the truth of her ex-fiancé. Just left a lot wanting
December 23, 2025
I enjoyed this book and conclusion of this duologyl! The book is face paced, well written & has a few twists you may or may not see coming! I will say this book for me wasn't as impactful as the first, but it's still a good read!
January 2, 2026
Quick, easy, exciting, and adventurous!! I love this duology. It was incredibly fast paced and I would love to read more adventures at sea. There were a few editing errors, but we’re just going to ignore those because the books are so fun
January 5, 2026
This duology was just a delightful yarn, a rip-roaring adventure on the high seas, with a loving found family at its center. There were some editing mistakes, but if you can't overlook those, you'll miss out on a good time. Highly recommend this duology.
January 7, 2026
This was a perfect high seas adventure & conclusion to the Vows of Vengeance duet. I loved it, the characters, the mystery, found family, twists & turns, burn the world for her/him romance, and more. I am sad it's over but satisfied with the ending. highly recommend.

The first book was definitely better. This one felt a bit rushed at the end and I wished the author developed the side characters more. A couple deaths that made me cry. But overall a good book on adventures, sea creatures!
