“Alosa’s mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. Still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, first mate Riden is a constant distraction, but now he’s under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon be facing her father’s justice.
When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first . . . after all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.”
This was a fantastic conclusion to this YA fantasy adventure duology. Both the books in this series were fun, highly entertaining, and easy to read. The story sucked me right in again and I ended up reading it in two sittings; it was pretty much impossible to put down.
In this book Alosa is confronted with the truth about her father and begins a search for her mother. As she unravels her father’s lies she also unravels the truth of her own past and heritage.
I love Alosa as a heroine; she is tough, loves to act, and is fiercely protective of those she considers “hers”. The story is told at a fast clip and full of wonderful witty banter that I really enjoyed.
Overall I really loved both books in this series and can’t wait to see what Levenseller writes next! I would highly recommend to those who enjoy fast-paced YA adventure fantasy featuring a strong heroine.
