READ IT AND IGNORE BAD REVIEWS. AMAZING BOOK AND STORY! The book has everything, and the best part is the fearless Katherine Lindsay. It definitely takes you back to the piracy era, and it does have very crude violent themes, it has gore, male chauvinist, and more. It is just the reality of how things were back in the days. Not sugarcoating it. Not ignoring those facts. Definitely a book you can't predict. **SPOILERS FROM HERE ON** I loved hoe fearless Katherine Lindsay was without throwing out her common sense, she would think things before going for it. I liked that Griffith fell for her under the worst circumstances and that he knew that she'd never love him yet still try to reach for her affection. His death was something I could see coming, the way he started seeing things told me that he would not reach this desired moment, yet I did not expect it to be by Katherine like the beginning. I thought it'd be by Livingston who I hated. I thought he would betray Griffith and that's where things would go south and I was wrong. I love how towards the end Katherine starts waking up and defends Thatcher. BUT MAN THE ENDING! Tomerlin described those finals scenes that I could easily mental picture it. Definitely it was a "Calm before the storm" kind of thing. The beginning was just...wow. Everything went wrong so fast! Truly showed men why it is badluck to bring a lady aboard and even more when said lady saw her husband die at the hands of pirates and was taken against her will. Katherine did not give in to Livingston's threats or character. Absolutely loved that she mentions that the captain was deprived of his life by a woman AND THAT WAS SO POWERFUL TO READ! Because like I mentioned before, I thought there'd be a mutiny but it just went a whole different way. Already ordered The Devil's Tide and I'm looking forward to it already. Tomerlin did a great job describing the events to the point that you could picture it. Nathan must be protected so I hope we see of him more in the next book. He was so in love with the idea of piracy that when it came to it he didn't want any part of it anymore and he is relatable in that sense. We all wish to be part of this era, but could we take in what comes with it? ...more "
