A ghost ship adrift off the coast...
A theft at a clifftop mansion...
A mutilated corpse that heralds divine judgment...
Resigned to a life of solitude in the wake of tragedy, Lucy Adler's run-in with a former friend threatens to reopen old wounds. When a thief breaks into Adler Mansion, Lucy is forced to face her past and return to the life she rejected.
When the search for his biological father leads Cooper Wade to Mariner’s Cove, Maine on the same day that a corpse washes up on the beach, Cooper is caught up in a quest that could either promise answers or shipwreck him altogether.
Every aspect of her future planned out by her mayor father, Sophie Parrish finds reprieve in her job at the historical society. When a painting crosses her desk, she uncovers a hidden message left behind by a pirate. With the help of someone she once betrayed, Sophie sets out to unravel a mystery that could free her from a life of misery.
Determined to protect his parents from the threat of poverty, Miguel Hernandez’s money troubles only worsen and not even the winnings he makes from underground street fights is enough to keep them afloat—until a storm leads Miguel to the opportunity of a lifetime only for it to cost him everything.
As legends take on new life and secrets begin to surface, Lucy, Cooper, Sophie, and Miguel are thrust headlong into a deadly quest for a truth that could well be their undoing. Myth and monster, history and horror, past and future—all will collide in this modern pirate adventure that will drag our heroes to hell and back again.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Look, I know there’s no cover or plot description up on GoodReads but I absolutely devoured my beta copy of “Devilfish,” and had to tell y’all that it’s SO STINKIN’ GOOD. Look, if you’ve been around my bookish content for even a nanosecond, you know how much I love Brian McBride’s “Mammoth” quadrilogy. Now he’s writing a spin-off and it’s just so dope, and I want everyone to know. I don’t know its official release date but whenever you can, just preorder your copy because you’re gonna love it.
